I previously showed up for a review of our case. Christopher came with me. We requested a visit with our children in court and they told us we could have a visit at 3:00 pm at the CASA center. As we left court we were on our way to go see the children. But as we left the court house Investigator Fagler put handcuffs on Christopher and I. We were immediately taken to Emanuel County Jail and we were told that we were arrested on cruelty to children charges. This was the point that I realized that we could not fight the system anymore. We were good parents, we had a good life with our children and the system took it all away. DFAC’s has ruined my life. They have taken everything I care about. My fiance is still in Emanuel County jail suffering because DFAC’s pushed charges on us. Luckily I had family to bail me out but Christopher will remain there until I can come up with the recources to bail him out also. It is expensive. This is also very confusing for us. I feel as if the system has failed me. That our government is way out of control. My babies were taken, my fiance was taken, and my freedom was taken. We can face up to 5-20 years in prison for a crime we never commit.
Luckily the judge gave custody to Chris’ parents when we were arrested. The judge told Chris’ mother that she would have never given the children to her if we weren’t incarcerated. I have some comfort knowing my children are with family.
Meanwhile all I can do is hope and pray. Maybe God will get me through this. I hope I can withstand all of this pain and suffering. My children are in another state and my fiance is in jail. I am trying to raise money for and attorney but they want 10,000 dollars just to take on our case. My public defender never returns my calls and I feel lost in a loop of madness. I just pray there is someone out there who can help me.

I am so sorry for your situation. I know exactly how you feel. I am going through the same thing myself. Luckily we were given probation. My blog is called “our worst nightmare” It is god to know that we are not alone.
