[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 737746, member: 22893"] All in all, I DO feel I made the right choice for EVERYONE involved. Yes, I still question myself, but when I think it completely through I truly believe I did the right thing. There are still a lot of unknowns... SS has a lot of work to do and I don’t know if he will ever overcome this. BUT we are giving him the opportunity to do it. Whether he was charged or not, it is still up to him. I did consult with an attorney that has a long history of working with CYS. She felt very strongly that given the circumstances SS would have only seen probation and we would be in the same boat we are in now. The only difference being that my children and I would not be in our home. And I would not be able to provide the therapists with my prospective on the situation. And I would not be privy to the day to day happenings to help get the truth to them. No, I will not make calls to area parents about my SS. Right or wrong, I will not subject him to that. I am not defending him, but I will not bullying him either. It is our job as his parents to protect ALL around him as much as possible and limit the situations that could compromise someone’s safety. We are and will do that. He is not allow to have visits to friends homes, he does not have access to recording devices, etc. when it comes down to it, it is a matter of free will and there is only so much we can do. The rest is up to him. [/QUOTE]
