Will keep you in my thoughts and hope that this doesn't keep going on.
"The information presented on this Web site should not be used in any manner to injure, harass, or commit a criminal act against any individual named in the registry, or residing or working at the reported address. Any such action could subject you to criminal prosecution."
Make copies of everything this person has posted and make a police report, immediately!!
In the midst of the aftermath I would also encourage you to do what you can to find inner quiet amidst the complex and conflicted feelings.
If I can may I ask a few questions .... Do you feel safe now? If not where can you go so you feel safe? What else can you do to quiet your mind and protect yourself and your family right now? When we are centered we are better able to listen to our own inner guidance, and not react out of a place of retaliation, which is where the father of the victim is coming from right now. Be calm and know his anger at some point will pass.
In the meantime, have you talked to an attorney or to the national or your local RSOL organization for suggestions?
Is there any ACTION you feel we could take to assist? Does the larger collective of RSOL organizations feel we should take ACTiON at this time to help protect you and your family from any further harm?
I am open to writing letters and doing what ever I can in addition to holding your in prayers of protection and safety to get this resolved as quickly as possible!
This is where more psychological support is needed for all families involved in these very emotionally charged cases! I have such a difficult time with all these legalities when the truth is PEOPLE on Registries and who have committed a sexual offense NEED HELP and support from their communities. NOT SHAME!
His anger and fear does not mean he needs to harass you or your family though, EVER !!! He too needs to process his FEELINGS. People who have been sexually abused HEAL. They don't have to be victims. And the courts themselves need to give those who have committed a sexual offense the same respect as anyone else who is serving their sentence, via in prison or on probation. The passing of laws that are more strict to deter sexual offenses does NOT help ANYONE! The victims families or perpetrators! We need just laws that help people HEAL. Unjust laws create more HARM, and do not resolve the core issues that led to the abuse in the first place, they just create more abuse.
What is happening to you makes me so MAD !!! Because it is all STUPID AND PREVENTABLE !!!!
Please keep us informed ...
He never touched her nor made a plan to meet her.
I am scared that this father since he is showing signs of being vindictive that he may hurt us.
I would consider this harassment. It clearly states that the registry listing is not to be use to harass. I consider it harassment. I am going to try to get a "Peace Order" with the police department but I doubt that I will get it.
Nothing ever works in our favor. Only thing we lucked out is no jail time. But now I feel like I am in a jail in my own home!
I think you will have no trouble getting a Peace Order. The law seems cut and dry to me. Contact an attorney if they wont give you one.
Facebook needs to be set to Friends Only and these issues wouldn't happen. He is playing papa bear the easiestbway he knowa how.
I suggest going to talk to the people at your job about getting him blocked and having his graffitti removed.
We are here for you.
Here is a good prevention about breath as an ally:

If you have trouble downloading it let me know ...
He begins with a presentation about breath and how breathing is a metaphor for life. It IS !!!! And even your kids can learn it !!!
I studied with a woman for over 15 years who taught about natural breathing and how to calm myself due to my own sexual abuse issues. You and your family can heal through this!
Right now you are in high sympathetic alert, breathing - long slow exhales can help you calm yourself.
Listen to him and you will learn more ....
It is powerful work to listen to your breath and to feel the support that is with you always ... UNDER YOU and IN YOU, as you learn to work with our feelings past and present, so you won't need to feel so much worry about the present or the future ... notice if you can quiet your mind and bring more spaciousness WITH the breath to any tightness you may feel in yourself, not needing to change it, but being present with it.
I would be happy to share some of this with you on the phone if it might help you.
My thoughts are with you ...
Do you know how to delete posts from a fb page? You can!! Just click to the right of the post that says, "friends" and a box should come up that gives you options ... one of the the bottom ones says DELETE.
See if you can get rid of the post if you don't want others to see it.
Sensory Awareness and breathing does exactly that, it brings us to Present Moment Awareness - PRESENCE. Had I not had ways to quiet my mind and come into the present moment, my own presence, in this experience of Collective Shadow that each of us in America has been invited to embrace in the injustices of our system of dealing of those even accused of sexual offenses I honestly do not think I could or even would have survived this journey
Life Wounds us all, It is how we embrace the darkness, in compassion and kindness, and remember our WHOLENESS and the wholeness of those we love that can lead to healing.
I have found this journey to be a deeply spiritual one, one that embraces all part of myself and those who are victims. Sadly enough to say we ALL become victims or perpetrators when WHOLENESS is not embraced. Healing is INCLUSIVE, not exclusive.
There are other clips as you scroll down that some of you might enjoy as well.
If you don't stop it NOW, then it will continue! He needs to know that what he is doing is against the law just as much as any other law HE thinks was broken.
MAKE COPIES, AND FILE A POLICE REPORT! NOW!
WHAT HE HAS DONE IS AGAINST THE LAW!
