The other day while at work i reached out to the county jail for the purpose of taking care of some business on my sons' behalf. I was informed by the counselor that they had moved him and nobody woukd tell me where. He is my only son, my only child, and not knowing why or where they took him threw me into a terror. I called his parole officer, very helpful young lady, and she did not know they ove him but she told me where I could go and look him up and should locate the facility. I did as she instructed and found him, where I found him. I immediately went to their website for further information and learned that this is a facility for violent offenders. Well, my son does not have any violent charges in his history, drugs possession/sales yes, but no weapons, fighting, violent behaviors no! How do I know, I have been to every court appearance, I have met with attorneys and listened to al the charges as hard as it was. This is still hard, how could he gt into trouble again, WHILE ON PAROLE?????? ARE YOU SERIOUS?????? Well I tried calling the facility to let him know that i knew where h was, well, someone picked up the phone, she spoke incoherently to me and before I could say anything she said "hold on" and put me on hold, never came back; i would probably be on hold now, 48 hrs later. Thank God I set up our phones to receive calls from him!
This experience through me into a panic, I cloud not think, I could not function so I made an emergency appointment with my physician, by the time i got there I was a wreck. Well after prescribed a tranquiler i returned to work still distraught.
I was able to speak to hs parole officer again, shared with her and she explained where he is in the process!!!!
I have to tell you, if I had one Million dollars I would pay for the best attorney and bond him out, what am i saying, I would release him from his suffering!!!!! I'm his MOM.
But here i sit, I have to walk this out with him, stay on my face praying holding up not only my son, but holding up other Moms, sons and daughters before God!!!!!!
So, I researched for a support group and found M.I.S.S. and I do not believe in coincidental, I believe in God directed, appointed situations so here I am. My name is Miriam a member of M.I.S.S. and where I can support I will. I will continue to pray for the Moms and Dads who have children incarcerated, on parole on probation and pretrial!!!!! I will also be praying for those who may have children on he run and they may or may not know here they are, I pray Gods Intervention and their safety as they come to a divine decision.
God Bless you all!

So I am not calling I'm trying to hold onto the peace I have at this time and just enjoy the fact that I spoke with him!
Thank you Lord for MISS, thank you for all of these wonderful, understanding ladies. Keep us all, keep our sons! Father may they come into the true knowledge of who you are and will make the decision to follow you!

Many of us have had to deal with the unfeeling injustice system, see my blog. Please hold on and know you are not alone in your suffering, we can feel your pain and tears. This site is truly a blessing. Realizing others are or have been in similar situations and made it through can give you hope for light at the end of this dark tunnel. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions, never easy and often unappreciated efforts but it's our path and we must take it. My son is also an only child, I know your pain. Praying that you can find some peace.
