PLEASE READ
If you know who I am in real life, or know my family, please do not tell my family about this post. I had that kind of situation happen once already, and would just like to open up. Please, don't be a jerk.
---------------------------------------------------
I'm going to make a long story as short as possible.
My older brother (who is 26), did a school project in high school when he was 17. The project was on child pornography.
Don't ask me how it was even approved of for a school project, because I was only 7 at the time.
2 years ago, my brother was wrongfully arrested for possession of the inappropriate content, and has since, been put on parole, as well as the sex offender lists, websites, etc.
They made him something he really isn't.
I would like to clear things up a bit though.
He was wrongfully arrested for a few reasons:
1. The police arrived at the door with no warrant. They had no right to enter.
2. My brother signed for a search and seizure of his possessions. This was wrong because he was living with my grandparents (and still is).
3. It should have never happened. (I'd rather not give too much away)
So, it's now 2 years later.
It's been about a year since I've been able to really be around my brother.
I still can be, but only under the supervision of other family members, according to the court.
But even now he doesn't feel safe. He's been brainwashed through group therapy and the lawyers against him.
Let me give you an example.
Today, I had to do work down at my grandparents house with my cousin and uncle.
I walk in to the house, and try to ask my brother a simple question.
His response was two words: "No, Rick", to which he proceeds to walk out of the kitchen and outside.
My brother is uncomfortable talking to me, despite the fact that I just turned 16. I thought 16 would be a big turning point, and him saying that to me just proved me wrong.
My current state of mind is to let things pass.
Our mother has power of attorney over everybody, and the case has been going on for 2 years now. It has to break at some point.
And when it does, I'll be glad to have my brother back.
I was thinking about making him a CD or casette of funny things, like comedy acts and YouTube videos for his birthday.
But other than that, I can't really be involved.
Am I in the right state of mind? I can't really do much since he's so paranoid.
