Truthfully though, the number of parents who go through this kind of horror are very low compared to the number of parents in adult overall. It's good to be prepared, but not good to live in fear. Know what I mean?
The catch-22 is a real kicker. I've been sitting here for the past hour going back and forth about that very subject. The required sign-up info connects a person's full name with their site and company information, along with their town and state. Risky info to put into a site like this. But on the other hand, it's less info than what sponsors ask you to hand over and their databases can be subpeonead (sp?) as well.
I wish you guys hadn't had to go through this, and didn't have to continue going through this. I suppose at this point even moving to another state wouldn't help, it would just start the process all over with a new CPS team hearing your parents' allegations for the first time.  |
Thanks Carrie. Here is the thing...we think it happens less often than it does...the reality is we have recieved well over 500 emails since November one story after another.... being forced out of their neighborhood, children being kicked out of private schools..ex husbands / wives filing for custody based on the others involvement with the industry.
Also bear in mind that when I say industry I mean the entire industry..Book/novelty store owners, dancers and club owners, video producers and models etc etc.
I'm actually thankful we went through this. We hired the best attorneys,went to court and were vindicated. DSS found no cause for any of the allegations..the family was warned by the courts and the DA said we are so far on the right side of obscenity we would never be proscecuted.
And here is where I part ways with many in the industry..and I can live with that...I am absolutely willing to fight for what is right...even if it means jail. I have a hard time swallowing only one part of your message... (and that doesn't make us enemies just different
)
"Truthfully though, the number of parents who go through this kind of horror are very low compared to the number of parents in adult overall. It's good to be prepared, but not good to live in fear. Know what I mean?"
I believe this type of thinking will lead us down a dangerous path...apathy. and one parent is one too many.
