Hi, Jane. Thank you for joining me.
Hi, Julia. Thanks for having me.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’d like to start at the beginning of your journey when your son was arrested, and then we’ll follow through from there. Will that work for you?
That sounds good.
When The World Changed: A Mother’s Shock And Legal Battle Begins
Let’s get started. What was it like when he was arrested?
This is a day that I will never forget, unfortunately. My husband and I had gone for a walk. We were very recently retired. It was the first time that we had a beautiful day, and we could take our dogs out to a local park. We had gotten back. I was making us lunch. I heard a pounding on our front door. Our door is glass, so you can see out through the window. There, I saw five police officers in full-on what I consider to be riot gear. They had batons. They had guns. They had bulletproof vests. I laughed, and I thought, “They’re definitely at the wrong house.”
I went, and I opened the door. They said, “Ma’am, step outside.” I said, “What is going on?” They said, “Your son has gotten himself into some trouble.” That was an understatement. They asked me who else was in the house. I said, “My husband.” They said, “Tell him to come outside.” He came down looking very confused. They proceeded to slap a search warrant that they had brought with them onto the little table where we were sitting outside. We had no idea what was going on, no clue. Our son was at work, and everything seemed fine to us. We were in complete shock.
They came into our house. One of them stayed to keep an eye on us. They asked us where his room was. They all went upstairs with big garbage bags, and they started ripping his room apart. We stayed outside. The officer outside started asking us questions. One of them was, “Does your son have a girlfriend?” I said, “I’m not going to talk to you. I’m not going to answer questions about anything. I want a lawyer,” which I guess I knew from TV. We sat there stunned. They finally came back out with five garbage bags. We don’t even know what they were taking.
They asked, “Where are your computers? Where are your cell phones? Go get them and give them to us. What are your passwords?” They took everything. They took my husband’s work laptop. They said, “You have a nice house,” and then they left. I would say I was in complete shock. I proceeded to get completely hysterical. Thankfully, one of my best friends is a lawyer. I called her sobbing and told her what happened. She said, “Give me fifteen minutes.” We were extremely lucky regarding this part of the story because in fifteen minutes, she had a criminal defense lawyer on the phone, someone she happened to know. That’s where our journey started.
It was smart that you didn’t say anything. You did have the wits about you to say that you wanted to have an attorney present. A lot of times, if people do speak or answer questions, they can be subpoenaed. That’s an important point that you met. We’ve spoken a lot before. My heart goes out. It’s so difficult when something like that happens. You’re in shock. We think, “Nothing like that is going to happen to me or my family.” People have to realize that it’s happening all over in our society to people in all walks of life. I appreciate you sharing that. For people to hear that, something like this can happen, because you do have to open the door, especially when they show you a warrant.
I assume you do. I asked them what they would have done if we weren’t home. They said, “We would have cracked and bashed in your door.”
They can do that.
They wouldn’t tell us where our son was. I said, “Where is he?” They said, “He’s been taken into custody,” but they wouldn’t tell us where. They gave us the name of someone in the sheriff’s office and said that we could call that person to find out where our son was. It took many hours to find out that he had been taken into custody at the local county jail, where he was strip-searched. They took his shoes. It was cold. He was in a T-shirt. We still didn’t know anything. Our lawyer found out bail was $100,000. We had never dealt with any of this.
I’ve spent my life worrying about my son. He has learning disabilities. He’s severely dyslexic. He doesn’t read social cues well. He’s been the target of bullying his whole life. We had no idea what he had done or what was going to happen to him. We ended up sitting outside the jail. It was local to the county we were living in. We were waiting for hours until they let him out. We had to get a bail bondsman. We had to put up money. He came out to the car. The lawyer said to us, “Don’t ask him anything. You’re better off not knowing anything. Don’t talk. Just come see me in the morning.” Our daughter flew home. The four of us went to see the lawyer the next morning.
Unraveling The Arrest: A Son’s Terrifying Ordeal And Interrogation
That whole experience, I know how traumatic it is. It looks like they picked him up at his work.
Exactly. They went to his work. I found this out later. He was on his lunch hour. They handcuffed him in front of everyone at his job. They took him into this huge SUV. There were five officers, he later told us. They started questioning him without a lawyer. He didn’t think to ask for a lawyer. They had him for two hours, bullying him, trying to put words in his mouth, and saying, “If you say this, then things will be much easier for you.” I got to read the transcript of the way they questioned him. It was not something that you would wish on anyone. It was high pressure, lots of “Would you say this?”, and then saying that those were his words. As I said, he’s very unsophisticated. He was terrified. He said a lot of things that did not help him.
That’s pretty common. He didn’t know. Again, for people tuning in to this, it’s important that you do tell your children, no matter how old they are, especially if they have some challenges, that they should never talk to anybody without an attorney. It is because those are things that can be held against you in a court of law. I appreciate you sharing that. I know that it breaks your heart when you see what your son went through and how hard it was being pulled out of work, handcuffed, taken away, and being asked all these questions, not knowing what’s going on, and probably not even knowing what he did at that time. We’ll talk more about that.
One of the things that killed me was that in the transcript, he kept asking to call his parents. He asked over and over, “I want to call my parents.” They mocked him and said, “What are you, a crybaby? You’re a grown man. You shouldn’t need to call your parents.” We could have told him to talk. In retrospect, I would teach every kid not to talk and ask for a lawyer. Our kids were raised to believe the police were their friends. They were there to protect us, and they had never had a bad experience. This was out of nowhere for our family.
The other thing that I wanted to bring up is that you didn’t know where he was or anything. When somebody is brought in, until they’re processed, there’s no record of where they are. It’s good that at least they gave you a contact at the sheriff’s office that you could find out, and you could go. Where we left off was that you were waiting outside for hours, and you brought him home. The next day, you saw the attorney. Your daughter was with you. Your whole family was together when you saw the attorney.
The Unseen Crime: Navigating Digital Dangers And Online Predators
There was a lot of crying. The lawyer thought it was smart to take my daughter and me upstairs to one office to talk, and my husband and son stayed downstairs. I have to say I am not a crier, but this was so traumatic for all of us that I could not pull myself together. I’ve been through a lot of hard things in my life. Having this come crashing into your life is indescribable. My daughter and I still didn’t know what had happened. The lawyers had gotten hold of the police report. They were able to tell us. Maybe this is a good time to explain a little about why they came to arrest our son.
I’m sure people are like, “What did he do?” That’s the first thing that people always ask. What did he do? We’re always like, “It’s what they did, not who they are.” Especially for those of us who have somebody who has been or is in the system, that’s the last thing we want to talk about. I know for me, I didn’t want to talk about it because I didn’t want anybody to judge my brother. Yes, we’ll talk about the shame, the stigma, the guilt, and all of that. You have all of that, but it was my little brother. I didn’t want anybody else judging him. That was the hardest part. Thank you for being strong enough to talk about it.
That is one of the most difficult things as a mom. First of all, you feel responsible for your kids. You also feel very protective of them. I’ll tell you what happened with our son. He was, as I mentioned, isolated. I didn’t realize it, but he was depressed. He was desperately trying to make friends. This has been something that has been a problem for him his whole life. He’s on the spectrum for autism, although if you met him, he’s super friendly and handsome. He has a wonderful heart.
It’s hard to talk about what he did because before this happened, I was like a lot of people. I was very judgmental. I had all kinds of stereotypes in my head about who would do this crime or that crime. I am presuming people are guilty before I even know what happened. Our son was trying to make friends on the internet. He joined this website that has a benign name and claims to be a place for you to make new friends with similar interests.
While he was on this website, people started befriending him. He thought, “Great, I’m making friends.” One person who had described herself as a woman started sending links to him through this website. He clicked on them, and two of them had child pornography in them. I guess Google tracks. I don’t know exactly how it works, but Google tracks these kinds of images. This supposed friend sent several links that had illegal images in them. That immediately set a chain of events, starting with a Google flag and ending up in the district attorney’s office, which led to them coming to our house to arrest him.
Was it that he clicked on the links, or did anything else happen?
He clicked on the links and said something back to the woman about this wasn’t what he wanted to see or talk about. The person started threatening him and saying, “I’m going to post your picture on Facebook if you don’t send me something like this.” She started making all kinds of threats about his family. He was terrified. He did come downstairs after that. We could tell something was off, but we had no idea. We never would have imagined. The things I was worried about were these. How is my son ever going to get a job that pays enough to support himself? How is he ever going to find a community of friends? How is he going to find a partner? Those were the things that were on my mind and that were keeping me awake at night.
We don’t even know if that was a woman who was sending it. That happens frequently, where somebody will try to entrap somebody to get money, or even with younger men to get them to send pictures or something. It’s something that people need to be aware of, that this does happen. There are predators out there who are trying to scam people to get money. This probably was not a woman out there.
It is probably not. Also, we were told later, it could well have been a piece of a sting operation. Our son was very low-hanging fruit. He didn’t know what he was doing or getting into or what to do once it happened. We have no idea. He was afraid to tell us.
That’s another thing. Especially men who this happens to are young men and challenged men, they are embarrassed. They don’t talk about it. It’s something we need to share to raise awareness that they do need to talk about it. I know stories where people have sent money because they think it’s over. They don’t want to tell anybody, but it doesn’t stop. They keep asking for more and more money. This is a scam that we all need to be aware of. I’m not saying this is what happened in your case. It seems like it. It sounds like it.
We don’t know, and we’ll never know, but it’s certainly possible.
The Road To Recovery: Therapy, Rehabilitation, And Family Support
We know what it’s about now. Let’s go from the arrest to what happened next. You spoke to the attorney. How did you proceed then?
We were immediately put in touch with a therapist whom our attorney had worked with many times because the rate of suicide in people accused of a sex offense is very high. We started therapy as a family. He started therapy alone. Mostly, my therapy consisted of me going in, falling apart, getting on antidepressants, and trying to figure out how do I go ahead in my life. We didn’t know yet if our son was going to be incarcerated. It took a long time for that process to unfold.
The rate of suicide in people accused with sex offence is very high. Share on XWe did find a rehabilitation center, which was not quite appropriate for our son because there wasn’t anything. It was a group living situation with a lot of therapy every day in groups and individually. It was a lot about learning how to say no, learning how to stand up for yourself, and understanding your sexuality, things that our son never would let us talk about. He was very closed off in all those areas. The fact that he grew up without friends, there was no peer group to push back and help him navigate growing up, being a teenager, dating, and all of it. He was completely alone through all of it. He was stunted in his social development.
I do think that this place helped him. What it meant for us was that we had to come up with enough money. It was almost like we had bought another house, which we certainly could not afford. We had both retired, and we had planned. People have to decide what they’re going to do. We used our savings to hire a great lawyer and to send our son to this rehab place for a year. It completely wiped us out. There’s so much pain that comes with this disruption to your life.
It is not just the person who’s incarcerated. Our daughter went through hell. She had to worry about us and how we were doing. Also, it’s her brother. She adores her brother. She had to figure out how to cope with what had happened and what it meant. We couldn’t talk in detail about any of this. We were told not to. This unknowing and discomfort is hanging over you. You’re waiting to see what’s going to happen. We were very lucky again that our son ended up wearing an ankle monitor and not going to jail that first time, but the story continues. What happened next was remarkable because our family came together to support our son.
We realized he needed a lot more guidance, a lot more input, and more connection. Even as he was growing up, our son was always with us because our friends were his friends. We would include him when we went out to dinner, went to a movie, or got together with friends, but it wasn’t enough. We didn’t understand what was going on in his life and the vulnerability he had to outside pressures and predators. This is very true for a lot of young guys who aren’t the lucky ones, the popular ones, or the ones who are great at a sport, brilliant in school, or starting their own companies.
There are a lot of young guys who are struggling, as our son was. We had no idea, no forethought, about what that could lead to, especially on the internet. My husband, my daughter, and I all work remotely. We were on our computers all the time. Our son had a computer and a smartphone. That was where he was looking for a connection, but he was also in so much danger. We were completely unaware until this happened.
There are actually a lot of young guys who are just struggling as our son was, and we had no idea what that could lead to, especially on the internet. Share on XThe Second Arrest: A Mother’s Guilt And The Unforgiving System
That’s important, bringing that out. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time. I say that to myself all the time. You guys came together and supported each other. He was with you. Growing up, he had companionship. A lot of kids hang out with adults, and they learn from them. He still has his challenges.
He was always much more comfortable with adults. It is interesting. Our friends all loved him and knew him well. We all hung out together. That was how we had lived, but in retrospect, it was not enough. I feel very guilty about it. I still feel like, what could I have done? The next part of our story even made me feel more that way. Our son was home. He had finished serving the time with the ankle monitor. He found a job all on his own.
He found a job in a small business. He was doing well. He was making money. He bought himself a car. He was paying for his cell phone. He was occasionally hanging out with the people he was working with. We thought everything was going great. He would go in and check in with his PO. He was very responsible about it. This is my excuse that I’m about to explain. On every birthday, our son was required to register with the county because of the nature of his offense. This involves going in and signing some papers.
Normally, I am very organized. I am on top of things. I normally would have reminded him because one of his disabilities is being organized and making sure that he has things in order. It’s called executive function. It’s always been a problem for him. I had hurt my shoulder. I was having shoulder surgery. Other family emergencies were occurring. I missed the date, and so did he. He forgot to go in and register. This is a felony. He has a prior offense.
It’s a felony for someone with a prior sex offense. We were visiting friends. It was 3:00 in the morning. We were sound asleep. We were out of town. I heard my cell phone. I picked it up, and it said, “Prison/Jail.” For a minute, I looked at it, and I thought, “What is that? That’s a scam,” then, I thought, “No.” I did pick it up. It was our son. He was sobbing. He said, “I’ve been arrested. I forgot to register.” I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for the next two hours because it was 3:00 in the morning, and called the lawyer in the morning. This whole thing started over again.
This time, our son was in jail. We found out that the bail this time was $300,000, which we had no way of paying. The lawyer told us that it would be better not to try and post bail this time because it was better to stay in the county and figure out what was going on. There were two felony charges. One was failure to appear, and the other was failure to register. These are both punishable by state prison time. If I were ever going to have a nervous breakdown, as they used to say, that would have been the time. I have a blank about exactly what happened after that. Fast forward, our son stayed in jail.
It was in the newspaper with a photograph of him on the street that we lived on. I got to the point where I wouldn’t leave the house. People were calling me, texting me, and saying, “What happened?” I couldn’t even talk to anyone. I didn’t have the words. I completely isolated myself. We started down this path of trying to see what sentence he was going to have. We knew that he was going to have to be incarcerated in due time.
There’s no nuance to the laws. There’s no explaining when it’s a second time. Nobody cares that your son has disabilities or mental health problems. It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s about punishment. The DA wanted to make an example of us. She was very angry about how things had turned out the first time that he hadn’t been in jail. He’s been incarcerated for more than a year. We are about to accept a plea deal.
This is all for a parole violation. When we hear about recidivism and people going back, a lot of it is for these parole violations. I know in your heart that you’re thinking that you would have, could have, should have, that it’s something. However, it’s a group effort. He didn’t have the faculties to do that. You took on that responsibility. However, you’ve been doing everything you can. We’ve got to get to the point where we can forgive ourselves. When we go through this and something happens, we talk about the shame and the stigma, but the guilt that sticks with us. Is there something I could have done? Is there something I should have done? How could things have gone differently? We have to give ourselves grace and find a way to forgive ourselves.
We just have to give ourselves Grace and find a way to forgive ourselves. There's no other way. Share on XThere’s no other way because I do believe there is something I could have done. If I had reminded him, he would have gone and done what he needed to do. We wouldn’t have spent more than a year in this nightmare.
You are here now, and you’re doing the best that you can. For lack of a better word, it’s a shitty situation. I’m going to give some stronger words.
I think that captures it.
You’re waiting to see what’s going to happen, if he can be released with an ankle monitor, if he can spend the rest of his time in jail, or if he is going to go to prison. That’s something we spoke about. That’s scary.
Challenging The System: Advocacy, Reintegration, And The Registry’s Impact
It’s terrifying for everyone I know. One of the things this experience has made so clear to me is that our criminal justice system is not just. That’s not a big revelation, but if you’ve had any proximity to it, you know that it’s devastating to have a loved one incarcerated. It’s confusing, overwhelming, unfair, and dangerous. We don’t want to think about people in jail who have made bad mistakes. I include myself in this, but I’ve changed a lot. I would see a photograph of someone in the newspaper. They would have been charged with something, and they’d look shady.
My first thought was, “They probably did it. They deserve to go to jail.” I had a wake-up call. I’m now volunteering for several different organizations. I hope to have some effect on the registry. There’s no registry for murderers. You do your time, you get out, and you have a second chance, not if you are in any category that falls under a sex offense. No one wants to hear about it. No one wants to think about it. Nobody is on your side. There are no advocates for sexual offenders. I’m not making excuses for people who prey on children.
What my son did was wrong, but he’s still a human being. He still has a right to have a life, to get rehabilitation if he needs it, to have a job, and to come back and contribute to society. Anyone who finds out what he did is not going to want him anywhere near them. I talked to him on the phone. He gets very excited about things he wants to do when he’s back. He talks about having block parties or putting a speaker system outside and playing music on weekends. He loves to bake. He would bake for people. I don’t have the heart right now to tell him, “You will be lucky if anyone on our street talks to you.” If they find out that he’s on this registry, I can’t even think about that right now.
Let’s hope that people give grace because they knew him before. They know the person that he is. One of the things that we spoke about was the three different levels of sex crimes. If you could explain, like you did to me earlier, the one that he’s at, who’s in that category, and what range it is.
This is not true in every state. It’s true in my state. I’m certainly not a lawyer. People should look this up. For us, there are three tiers in our state. They’re supposedly based on the severity of the crime and the victims. What our son did, which was clicking on these links, is in the same category in our state as someone who raped a five-year-old. To me, that does not make any sense. I don’t mean to sound like I’m making excuses because I can imagine how that would sound to people, but there’s no nuance.
There’s no compassion. There’s no looking at these different possible offenses and trying to figure out who can be rehabilitated and who should be allowed to go back out and have a life and work. In my opinion, everyone who did their time and got help should. We approach this whole problem first by not talking about it, by stigmatizing it, and by attaching so much shame. We were hitting it with a club instead of looking at how we can change this. How can we fix this?
I appreciate that because I thought it was important for people to realize that when it’s in the paper, you can look up who’s on the registry and who lives in your neighborhood, and to realize that there are different levels. Jane’s son clicked on a link. We’re not saying it’s right. We’re not saying that he shouldn’t be punished. Unfortunately, because he didn’t read or register on a certain date, that’s a felony. Who knew that a lot of people are back in prison because they committed a parole violation? I thought that was important.
You did touch on this because we want to let people know how it affects the family and all the things that you’ve been through. You were not convicted of a crime. However, you’re serving the time on the outside. The family is serving the hidden sentence. Your son is going to come home. We talked about some plans. We say that re-entry starts at day one. You guys are already planning where he should be home within the next year?
Re-entry And Hope: Building A Future After Incarceration
Yes. That’s what we hope. I have learned not to count on anything until it happens. My husband and I have been seeing a therapist throughout this. Luckily, it’s someone who has dealt with families in this situation. He’s someone who has counseled young men accused of this crime before. He’s been extremely helpful to us. What we’re doing right now is figuring out how we’re going to reintegrate as a family. At least for some period of time, our son will need to live with us. He certainly doesn’t have any money. He doesn’t have a job. He doesn’t have someone to stay with. One of the things we’re doing is putting together a family contract, which I have to admit we have done in our past. The smiley faces and the whole thing fell apart.
You’ve got to stick to it.
We’re very serious about it. He will have to sign it, and we will, too. It will be a privilege for him to come back and live with us. He’s already talked about how he wants to find a job that’s going to be hard for him, given his background. Anybody can Google him.
You said he bakes. He could be baking something. I like baked goods.
I do, too. Thinking outside the box is crucial to his getting back on his feet. We will put a contract in place that will be a list of agreements that we are all going to have to stick to.
You talked about programs. There are programs out there. Some might be mandated, but there are programs.
Yes. He will be required to attend a group therapy program. We are going to have to pay for everything because he doesn’t have any income for now. I’ve already started looking for a therapist. Part of the trick is not letting myself be completely consumed by this and still trying to be who I am and do things that are meaningful to me out in the world. It’s a struggle.
Once you have someone who you love who’s incarcerated, it crashes in on everything you’ve thought and felt about yourself and everything that you do every day. It is not as if you just go on as you did before. I don’t think we will ever recover from the trauma of this. I don’t think it will happen, but we’re doing the things that we can. We’re putting one foot in front of the other, trying to look for support systems and places where our son can still contribute to the community, which we want to do.
Once you love someone incarcerated, it just crashes in on everything you thought and felt about yourself. Share on XI think you will. It does get easier. It’s never easy, but it does get easier. I can tell you that. There’s a lot of proof of that. Having a good therapist is important. Wherever you are, if somebody does need it, there are a lot of social services available in different states and cities. That’s something important. Also, the Prison Families Alliance support group has all kinds of online support and in-person support in different states.
Finding a support group is important to be around other people who understand. Jane, you’ve done everything you can. I wanted to touch quickly on the financial impact that people don’t realize. Luckily, the investment that you made helped your son. There are situations where people have mortgaged their houses and have not had a good attorney. I want to put out there to everybody that getting an attorney is important, but it’s got to be the right attorney. You can interview them.
Make sure that if you’re putting the money out there, it’s somebody who is going to work with you because that’s important. I wish the best for you, your son, and your family. To me, it’s mind-blowing that people are getting so many years, especially a lot of young men, for doing this. I am not condoning any crimes. It’s not like young men are out there looking for childhood porn. A lot of times, they stumble upon it. It’s unfortunate.
We need to educate people. That’s why I thought this talk was so important for people to hear. It does happen out there to families. I don’t know if there’s anything else that you want to add. I like to leave with something that you can share. We did talk about reentry. Prison: The Hidden Sentence does have a reentry workshop for families. We’ll talk about that because that’ll be helpful. For our audience, what do you want to leave them with? What have you learned? What will help them? What has helped you?
I will say that finding the Prison Families Alliance was a complete lifesaver for me. Julia did not make me say this. It truly was. I spent a long time looking for a place where there would be other people who had been through what I was going through. As I mentioned, my friends and anyone I know are all very sorry. They keep saying, “I’m so sorry,” but no one knows what to say. This group, being able to listen to other people’s stories, ask questions, feel heard and seen, and not judged, it’s huge.
I hope everyone who goes through this has that support. I also wanted to mention that some of the images that are online are AI-generated. They’re not even real, but they look real. They are certainly illegal. That was one of the things that we learned. They weren’t real children. They were images that someone created and loaded out there. That’s not something we ever knew to look out for or to warn our son about.
I didn’t know that. Thank you.
The AI Deception: Unmasking The Invisible Threat
I guess the last thing I would say, and I don’t mean to be a pessimist, but this can happen to anyone. We went to good colleges. We had a house that we had to sell and leave because of this. We tried to be great parents. We read all the books. We had all the talks. There’s a lot to be said for educating kids about the dangers out there. Now, I know, and everyone should know. This can happen to anyone.
We’ve got to get this in the schools. We’ll figure that out. Jane, thank you so much. For our audience, I hope this has been helpful, that you’re a little bit more educated, that you talk to your kids, and that you’re a little bit more compassionate about what you hear in the news.
