Crazy Day Pt 1

Today while at job number two i got a call from the District Attorney http://www.26thda.org/ and i was like hmmm. Well if you guys remember per my previous post, i work extensively in the inner city as a casemanager and im known throughout the Southwest US quite well for my work. Well he called and he told me that he had a case that he wanted to me to look at and see if i could help this guy. I said sure and he gave me the demographics of the case, and well i told him that i could help the guy, but i could only help him from a distance because he was a sex offender and the place that i work for doesnt accept sex offenders because they have a daycare and all of the liability. He thanked me for this and about 20 minutes later i get a call from the Public Defenders office and she proceeds to tell me about the case even more. So she tells me that there was a mother who had 7 kids and one day she just got tired for caring for all of her kids, and she plotted a way to get "rid" of her kids. Well after careful planning on her part she decided to convince her younger son to say that her older son sexually abused her. Well as procedure calls, the police were called and so was CPS. The guy was arrested while the investigation was ongoing and they kid said that the brother sexually abused him . Well there was a rape kit done on the kid, and nothing was found. No penetration, no brusies, no cuts, nothing. There was no physical evidence, no dna..nothing. Well the kid was given a Public defender and the case was assigned to the District Attorney. So the Public Defender told me that the D.A. told her that this was out of his hands and that the guy who was 17 at the time needed to take a plea of sexual batter by incest which would make him a sex offender for life, or get the life in prison at Angola State Pen. Well i asked the Public Defender why she chose to take the plea instead of going to trial because there was no evidence, and she stated that the kid was black and would most definately get life in prison because of the area and the parish that he was in, and that she couldnt get a hold to the victim who was in custody by the state and the mother would not appear in court and by law she didnt have to talk to the defender because she had a son who was the victim and the alleged offender. So i asked the denfender what happened. She said that the kid got a year in jail and probation and he gets out sometime next month. He also has to register as a sex offender for a crime that they know he didnt commit, and he needs an address to go to if he wants to get out on his release date. Well i make a few calls and noone in this area takes sex offenders. I am at odds over this. Here we have a kid who is 18, doesnt have anyone in the world to go to, no car, no job and within the first 21 days of his release he must register as a sex offender and pay the 200.00 fee but he doesnt have the money. If he doesnt come up with the money he goes back to jail for revoking his probation. Damn... for a mother to set her own son up like that is just plain cruel. Also now the mother has decided that she wants her kids back, and the state of louisiana is giving her the option to go through parenting classes and life skills classes to get her kis back. WOW! After all of this she still gets all 7 of her kids back if she keeps herself free from trouble...Today was a hard day..I still never found a place for the kid.....Sometimes you just cant help everyone...See ya I will post later about my trip to TX with cap which has been rather exciting. When i have time and my wireless connection stays up for more than 10 minutes i will post about the trip with the kids.
