My last post was my son was in jail.
Today was the first day he called me , his girlfriend paid money for him to be able to make calls. I don’t think he’s in general population yet & he still hasn’t seen a judge or got appointed a public defender yet but that’s not what this post is about .
I knew one of his charges was battery but I didn’t know what happened . Today my son asked me to call the halfway house he got kicked out of & have me ask them if they could not throw away his clothes & let them know his last paycheck was getting mailed there & if they could hold it. I called & the office guy knew my son was locked up & seemed very angry I was calling . He said he would call the police if my son trespassed again & there would be a bigger problem if he seen him . I didn’t understand & apologized for sons behavior still not knowing what he did.
He told me my son came back to the halfway house & beat a guy there with a “intellectual disability “ said he practically left him for dead , that there was blood all over the room . The mental picture of this was unbearable. I started crying not for my son but for this poor guy & apologized over & over to the office guy on the phone , I told him I didn’t know any of this , he told me it was not my fault & that this is what the drugs did to him . I found out he was doing meth . Right now there is no words..
All I could think of is this person he beat & almost left for dead .I also wonder if my son knew what he was doing , if he remembers any of this . How could he have me call the center knowing what he did .
