:) About a month ago, Jeff was released from prison for domestic violence. He did his time and after he signed his parole conditions he was stupid enough to call me from a PAY PHONE. I called his parole officer and they picked him the next morning. Some of you think this would not be enough evidence...I'm here to tell you that it WAS enough evidence. Board is different than court. You need evidence to prosecute, but in board it's more of your word against theirs and they pretty much listen to both sides and with his record and stupidity altogether they went with my side. Why would I go all the way to the prison if I were lying? His attorney was an idiot, didn't really have questions to make me intimidated and I had answers right away. Jeff had his family lie for him, and the commissioner saw right thru them. So you need to press charges, get that restraining order and parole condition, they will listen to your side. They were great to me. I'm glad they listened and took this parole condition seriously. Now I can move later on and him or his family won't know where we are.:thumbsup:

Hi Doria.. What you are saying is the truth. In the past when I had to get a restraining order against my ex when he would not leave me alone either. He called and threatened me when I refused to meet him. I reported it to the Police Dept., thinking that they would just keep it on record. I was shocked when they went right out and picked him up and locked him up. I thought that it was my word against his and that I couldn't prove that he called me, although where he called from was on the caller ID. I didn't even tell the police that though! Anyway, they take restraining orders very seriously. Believe me, he was shocked too, that they would lock him up just because I said that he did it! He found out the hard way!

woo hooo yippee...that is awesome....i wish more women had back bones like you do...keep your head up....your doing great.

I think this is awsome news and the system is protecting you! (I worry about them not when my time comes :eek: ) Congrats on another year being worry free! (hugs) sokie

Thanks for the support....ya, a parole condition is more serious than a restraining order, the comissioner was a tough guy! He intimidated me, but he was on my side. Jeff's public pretender was a joke...it's nice to know, tho, that Justice was served earlier this year for the domestic, and for this....I'm used to authority not listening to me, but then again I've never taken it this far before...that's why it's important to stick to your guns and get the R.O. and parole condition if they're on parole.

Well, that's one worry off your mind! Good for you!

Good for you, and congrats on being so strong to make that calll! Im so happy for you. So many people think that a violation on domestice violence needs to be severe, physical, etc... you did just what you were supposed to, he contacted, you called ( I know from experience this is not easy, but you were stong, he crossed the line that he understood very well and you called). Take care Dawn
