I can't help but think about the whole year from the time the ICE agents broke into my son's home and took his computer, to the time he was sentenced.. He was allowed to, and had a computer that whole year and had had no supervision. And then he comes out of prison, after 26 months and now they have to watch him.
Why was it not ok to watch him that year he was free before prison? and now all of a sudden they have to be up his butt for everything.

I agree Wisconsin.. but they knew they would find him guilty one way or the other.
If they thought he was a threat to children, as they think he is now , they wouldn't have let me bond him out. The PO and even my son's therapist talks to him like he's sexually interested in children.
My son's therapist asked to see my son's forensics.. and now he talks to my son like he really did something.. all because he's not familiar with reading forensics. Bad idea letting him see it, even tho we spoke with the attorney about it before we did. My son's PO wants to see them but I'm not going to let him.
At the top of the forensics it says the government initially noted 17 suspect cp. So 17 sticks in their heads... and later on in the forensics it shows how there were really only 3. Learned my lesson. No matter what you do, or how much proof of innocence you have, unless you get lucky and can fight it with an attorney with the right judge, you're screwed.
My son spent a year of 'freedom' before sentencing.. being scared every single day of that year .. worried about what was going to happen next.
He was guilty then. It just strikes me how he had freedom to ... which he was never into and now he's somehow not. How is that keeping kids safe?
I'm just pissed off,.. after 4 years of this BS and I see no end in site for his freedom to able to live a life he deserves.
I will say that it should get easier, or you become more accustomed to it...
I try to look at it more in the way that if we don't give them reason to come looking then they shouldn't... my hubby is rated so low on their risk scale they are considering putting him on quarterly office visits rather than monthly ones... I do understand your frustration for your son, but we as humans adapt well, even when we shouldn't have to...
Hang in there, try to find something positive that can be learned for future use...
It sucks when you're innocent yet you live the life being watched like you're a sexual pervert who wants to hurt children. I'd gladly switch lives with my son. He doesn't deserve this.. and neither do so many others.
Try for early release from supervision as soon as possible. If I remember right, he can also get relief from the registry after 10 years. Some things to shoot for.
My hubby will be out in 10 months. The jurisdiction he is in is very packed. We've got a great home plan for him, so I hope they reduce supervision after a while. But he's got 40 years of probation, so no hope there.
