When I was 20, I met a girl at a party. With alcohol being illegally consumed by everyone there. Had no idea who she was. Tattoos, piercings, drinking at a post high school party, had to be atleast 18. I was wrong. She was 15. I talked to her mom about everything and they agreed to let us actually be together. Six months later she got pregnant. I was floored. I decided to go to the military to better my new coming family. Turns out her step dad didn’t agree with my decision of bettering my family. I was arrested, charged with lewd and lascivious battery on 12-15. Did 3 years in prison and lost all access to my son. I was forced to sign my parental rights away or face trial and 15 years. Since then, my life has been in shambles. Tough time finding housing, finding my self asking the courts for something new too often, and even attempted suicide. My poor family who supports me 100 percent suffers knowing I’m suffering inside without my son or any livelihood left inside of me. I am in therapy for what I’ve seen, gone through, and am going through. Now medicated, I am trying to fix my life. What happened to me isn’t fair. And there are so many like me it kills me to consider how bad we have been treated. Please, this is my cry for help. Someone, anyone. Just listen to us.

Someone called the police when I lived in Pennsylvania saying I was giving candy to children . When they arrived they found that it was My wife and I was recovering from knee surgery and could only get to the door with a walker. The police at least apologized and left.
