An incident happened a week ago with my step-father, he was doing cocaine that the family didnt know about, he had a addiction problem. Wednesday night he did that and kinda flipped out. You MUST know that this man was not at all the way he truly is!!! He has never even raised his voice at ANY of us in the 8 yrs him and my mother have been married!! Well the cops were called and me, my mom and my sister didnt press charges... but the cops said that it is in their hands, they are pressing charges. My mom didnt get him out of jail until she got him into a INPATIENT rehab center which was 2 days later, she didnt bring him home, she took him staright there. She called the DA today and they said that there is nothing that they can do , they cant drop the charges bacause its in the states hands now. HE HAS NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW,NEVER BEEN IN JAIL AND HAS NO BACKGROUND!  But now he has 3 charges of assault on female looking at him! Will he spend jail time? Or what???

If the DA has enough to make his case without your testimony, there is little that you can do.\n\nYour step-father needs a lawyer as fast as possible.  That lawyer is probably going to tell him that continued treatment and staying clean are the best ways to keep out of jail.  There may even be a drug diversion program especially for people like him that dismisses criminal charges if a person closely follows a sobriety plan.  \n\nGet him a lawyer.

She is a sicko! My ex husband was like that. He had this terrible obsession with money and he was always hoping that I would get into a car accident so that he could collect the insurance money, he even threatened to poison me. He married me for a second income. \n\nOkay, so this guy beats your brother and you are aware of it. You need to contact 1-800-4achild 1-800-424-4553. It is totally anonymous. Tell them everything that you have reported here. They will then take action. You can also find out the number to the police department in that area. You need to get your little brother out of that situation before something happens to him as well. With the way your mother is and the way your stepfather is, CPS will yank him away. I am not trying to scare you, but you have to do what is best for your little brother right now. It sounds to me like he is in some serious danger.  Maybe there are some relatives that he can be turned over to. You need to get him out of that situation. I know that you want to see him and everything and there may be a way, but you need to help him FIRST.\n\nPlease let me know if you need anything or if you just need someone to talk to.

he's in jail now what can he do for you while he's in there. you need to think whats best for you & ecspecially this child. i know a couple guys that did the same thing to their girl so they had support while they were in jail than once they were out it was like screw you. You deserve better good luck!!

Sure the hell is .do you have a court order? let his P.O know if he is not living up to it get help from family services ,he should be getting"hits"which should sent his ass to jail or prison which is where he belongs if he wouldn't take care of his kids.

Do the whole world a favor and turn this person in to the proper authorities. It isn't fair to the folks who are going to rehab to end up with a counselor who isn't honest about THEIR sobriety. There are those who take all that as a joke, but it isn't a joke to ones who are serious about getting their lives back under control! Let this person find another line of work (preferrably one that is legal) and stop the fronting.

The other guy says police officers cant make any comments, but when u r a cops daughter u can......... Years ago my father was trying to catch this man who had been eluding police for quite some time.... see, he wife died 2 weeks before my dad and other officers caught him.  U may not find anything wrong with this story so far.  But when my dad finally arrested him, guess who was buckled up in the front seat???? The mans dead wife.

He obvioulsy did not do hard time for his accident.  I don't know what state you live in but in Texas, we take that very serious and doing some prison time for his DWI would change his mind.  Unfortunatley, his age has a lot to do with it and he thinks it just won't happen to him again.  If your son escaped probation and/or incarceration time, believe me its coming if his behavior has not changed.  If he is on probation and your are helping him with paying his fines, court costs, etc. stop. Let him deal with this on his own.  Let him be responsible for his mistake. ITs going to take jail/prison time for your son to realize what he is doing.  Then once he sees the punishment then will rehabilitation work for him. Basicly, like was said before, he has to hit rock bottom and hopefully that happens without him killing himself or another innocent person.  Having him visit the trauma unit a local hospital on a weekend is something that you may consider. A Victim Impact Panel offered by MADD or any other advocate agency in your area is also a good idea.  Find someone that is very ill with psorosis of the liver due to alcohol use, and let them explain to your son what excessive alcohol use does to your whole body, not just your liver.  Im an adult probation officer and I see this situation everyday. Both ends of the spectrum.  The young kid who says "not me" and the older individual whos body is breaking down that says, "I should have listened". Hope this helps.

depending on time of death i'd say he could be charged w/ some sort of reckless neglect. mabey even 2nd 3rd degree murder[ but it wouldnt stick unless he fourced the drugs on her.   my god if this is your daughter , i'm so sorry for you . i dont know how you will find any peace other than through forgivness.  the courts / police will only continue to "boil" your blood. as hard as it may be seek justice and solis in the lord not the system

well if she just got the order it probaly an emergency order. he should recieve his day in court in about a week.however these usually are civil matter which means she may have got the judge to grant her this on emotional abuse sounds like he doesn't need her anyway .However make sure he does not contact her in any way she can prove. in ohio the first time you violate it you can recieve 180 days second time it turns into a felony. so what state do you live in ?e-mail me if you like I actually have a cpo against someone and know a little bit about this stuff. What she has done is really cruel and ultimately makes it harder for people who really needs protection.

I was going to answer this but the first respondent took the words right out of my mouth. If he has the audacity to hit you, please have him arrested immediately. If you have family, let them know you are living in fear and need help. Best wishes.

FIRST LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I'M SORRY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU. NOW EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU TO LEAVE HIM. IT'S EASIER TO SAY THAN TO DO. YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 8 YEARS I SHOULD KNOW AND I'M ONLY 25 HE'S 40. I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE ALONE ALL OF THE TIME. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO TAKE HIM TO A REHAB CUZ THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT HIM IF HE IS NOT WILLING TO GO. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO CALL THE COP'S ON HIM OR THE DRUG DEALER CUZ YOUR HUSBAND CAN FIND DRUGS IN JAIL AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DRUGS ON THE STREETS. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS HIS DRUG IS HIS WIFE NOW HE HAS TO SUPPORT HER AND BE DEVOTED TO HER. THIS MAY BE THE HARDIEST THING TO DO BUT IF YOU LEAVE AND COME BACK YOU MIGHT COME BACK TO A EMPTY HOME. WHAT YOU CAN DO IS THIS EITHER TAKE HIM ON A TALK SHOW AND LET THEM HELP HIM OR SIGN HIM IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL IT WILL BE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT IF YOU WANT TO SAVE HIM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TOBE DONE YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE HIS LEGAL WIFE. BECAUSE HE IS COMMTING SUICIDE BUT IT'S JUST SLOWLY.

I think you should talk to the local authorities and tell them what's going on. He sounds abusive; if nothing else controlling. You may even be able to get an interpreter, if necessary, depending on your location. They will likely direct to to your local social services office. They can tell you if you need to and are able to file a protective order (i.e. restraining order).\nIt certainly doesn't sound as if you or your Mother have done anything illegal, and if he is your step father and a U.S citizen, your Mother probably went through INS for a permanent residence card (meaning she's here legally). I hope you two are able to work it out.

from my experience, he is in contempt of court by not following the judges orders.  this is pretty devious but it was done to me and it worked wonders...have an order of protection put on him and request custody of your daughter.  order of protection are much more than a restraining order.  police action will be taken anytime you request.  of course all you have to do is tell your lawyer or just go to the special victims unit and that you feel your life is in danger or has been threatened.  he will be screwed.  it still haunts me.  police used to call my cell phone and ask we i was at the moment.  all because she said i drove by the house.  none of what she told the police was true, and it didn't matter.  that order of protection sucks.  anytime he violates it, automatic 10 days in jail.  its dirty but its one way to stick it to him.  good luck.  oh, and there was no investigation to see if she was even telling the truth.  they just issued it and enforced it.

He's CRAZY you cant expect him to be logical.  Hes in jail and cant do anything about it, but still has the right to be upset you did something you didnt want him to do.  Get the rest of the $$ and be more responsible next time.

absolutely the most ridiculous instance of police abuse/brutality that i can recall in many years.....i am appalled...i sent this link to my dad as he and i discuss these issues daily and he says believe it or not it happens everyday all over.....just so happens someone caught this...i cannot believe they expected that guy to just get up...i wonder how easy it would have been for them to get up after being tazed...and to threaten him with tazing again? OUTRAGEOUS!...he was obviously incapacitated if he couldnt even get up so where was the threat to them that would have caused them to do it again!?!...i'd have probably been still puking my guts up too much to get off my knees!...can you say lawsuit?...i hope they get what they deserve...this was totally senseless....thank you for opening my eyes today
