I was informed today, 10May16, by my Officer of Supervised Probation that the State is no longer allowed to issue  “out-of-state”  travel permits. I was told I had to go to court, before the judge, and petition to get a “out-of-state” travel permit. I was told this has been in effect since February 2016. Does anyone have any factual truth about this “rule”?  

Free And Happy Little by little, each day, my little light grows dimmer. One day my little light will just simply go out. On that day weep not tears of despair, instead weep tears of joy. For on that day I will be set free from all the lies, and will truly be free. For on that glorious day those who have hurt me and sought to justify their crimes, will indeed weep tears of sadness for I will no longer be here to be punished for their crimes, and they can no longer revel in their crimes against me. Free to be me with no perverse laws that disguise themselves as justice, holding me back from being me. Free from all the hate and misguided souls who have been caught up in their web of lies. I truly will be free and vindicated, for they will be left here with nothing more than their lies to gain sympathy from….

A law, be it just or unjust, is only words. A law only becomes a real law when someone enforces it. If the people that are enforcing laws that they believe to be a waste of time stop enforcing them then those laws would become just words. Anyone in law enforcement can stop this abuse, IF they wanted to.

First of all, let me tell you my story so you know exactly where I’m coming from.  My punishment for my crime and my conviction are well deserved, but many of the trials I’ve had to overcome since my release are not.  After I tell you my story, I will tell you my views and beliefs concerning the registry and how it will destroy America. I had a decent career in the US Marines quite a few years back, but I also had an addiction that eventually destroyed that career.  I was addicted to pornography. Over the course of my adult life, my addiction grew into an obsession and while using file sharing program such as Limewire, Kazaa, and Morpheus, I discovered child pornography. I knew I had a problem.  I was afraid to go tell anyone though because for one I was ashamed.  For two, I was afraid of being turned in and going to jail.  The only “help”…

My son was convicted in Ohio of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and sentenced to (among other things) 160 hours of community service. When my son asked his PO for suggestions where to volunteer, his PO basically said “Good luck, no one wants an SO, you’ll have to work for the police or fire department.” Isn’t his PO supposed to give him a list of qualified community service opportunities? We have checked with the Salvation Army, and they don’t accept SO’s; I searched online for volunteer opportunities in our area and most are either working with minors (prohibited by the terms of probation) or include a background check. Any ideas?

In 1997 I was living in Fort Lauderdale when I was arrested for downloading 28 CP pictures. For the record I knew what I was doing and admit to what I did. I won’t go into detail about the hell I experienced through jail, courts, losing my job, etc. After serving 53 days in jail I found a job, and was able to further my career, eventually starting my own company in 2003. The condo I lived in with my girlfriend was close to an elementary school. I was able, on two occasions, to petition the local court and got the residential distance reduced to 250 feet. This was on the county level. I wasn’t aware at the time that cities have their own separate proximity laws. Two years ago I landed a great apartment within the permissible area. Recently the complex was sold and I was forced to move. This is when I found out just how small the area is in…

Here is my contribution to “Tales From The Registry.” I love the concept and hope you promote it more. In anticipation of my pending release of the results from the Once Fallen Job & Welfare Survey, my article concerns a story I should have shared four years ago. “They are absolutely allowed their voice, but they are not allowed to use our platform for that voice.” By Derek W. Logue of OnceFallen.com February 29, 2016 If you are a registered citizen and you have ever conducted a job search, chances are you have at least one job search horror story. My first job interview after my stint in prison was with OfficeTeam, a “temp-to-hire” company. I had lots of clerical experience, had easily passed their aptitude tests, and was invited to come in to fill out the final paperwork to be added to the jolly crew of office mercenaries. Just as I was about to sign the papers, a woman…

I have a question that I seem not to be able to get a clear sense of what I can expect if my SO boyfriend moves into the home we purchased together last year. His offense occurred in PA but he has since transferred to CT in October at his mothers residence along the NY border. We had purchased a house prior to he being sent off to jail in PA for 3 mo. Our home is in central CT. I am a director of a large school readies community based program and live within the community in which I work. Ion my role I work with community members, BOE, DCF, etc. my concern is how will this affect my employment? Will I lose my job? If I lose my job, we lose the house. My organization also houses a Sexual assault crisis center and works closely with ConnSACs. He has 4 years probation, attending SO classes, and has poly…

My son was a young college freshman, 18 years and 9 months old. She was 14, fresh and flirty and anxious to pursue a relationship with an older boy. He was sad and lonely, so they began talking online. This eventually led to pictures, and finally, oral sex. Twice. Little did he know this was the beginning of the end of his life. A detective came to his college dorm asking questions. We hired a lawyer, who told him not to talk to anyone. So he didn’t. The lawyer promised he would have an opportunity to tell his side of the story. He didn’t. The lawyer promised we could bring his phone and laptop to the detective. Instead, the detective served a search warrant at our home during summer break. Our 16 year old son was the only one home at the time, and let them in, even though he didn’t have to. He sat there with the detective and…

I’ve always felt hopeless, but this is insane. My problems began when I started using drugs at the age of 14 or 15. I smoked a lot of weed, and when I got to 16, I started using a lot of other drugs. Promethazine and Codeine, Xanax, Lorazepam, Acid,  Alcohol, Hyrdrocodone, Oxycodone, Dextramethamorphan, Adderal, Tobacco, Shrooms, I even went to school on a lot of these. I used these a lot more than the average teenager growing up in a middle class family. I’m also an extrovert with social anxiety, and never had many friends. When I say I never had many friends, I’m talking loneliness that makes you insane. I’m 17, and they were 13. I have two years probation, and a review for getting put on the registry. I’m honestly terrified. Suicide doesn’t sound so bad compared to being put on the registry. Yea, I know what I did was wrong. At the time, I didn’t care, but…
