End of year recap

As many of you know, this journey of ours is extremely emotionally draining and damaging. We endure the strain as best we can for those we love and those we try to help. There have been times I have been consumed with this fight, and times I have hidden from it as well, just as you all do. I never begrudge someone who ‘falls off the radar’ when things get too real, scary, or painful. I get it, and I know that we all do what we can to help, heal, and attempt to thrive under this pressure.

This year I gave a speech at NARSOL and again at ACSOL. It is a very good speech with a LOT of information that none of us had going into our prospective nightmares. If we all had this information, before our plea deals or trials, I believe things might be different now. Alas, the police have a game plan that is very effective – namely encourage a manufactured, enticement ‘crime’, and then collect pleas from the embarrassed, isolated victims who are ignorant of why this is happening to them.

While my son and I did go to trial, which most will not, we had no clue the extent to which police would lie, manipulate, and pressure to get their funding. We were shocked, and saddened, when police lied on the stand. Know, that in these stings, police do not care about truth. There is money on the table and they will do whatever it takes to get all the funding and perks possible from these entrapments. It’s sick. It’s corrupt. It’s real.

I’ve also been on the Narsol podcast a few times this year. I entertain listener question both on the podcast, and from those who write me personally. I am here to help anyone who asks with information I have obtained through research and our personal experience.

Please, each of you, keep on fighting this injustice as best you can. Show up for others caught in these stings, and speak up with our truth in the hopes that someday soon these stings will change course. It is only through advocacy, legislation, and winning these entrapment cases that any change will occur.

Merry Christmas to all. May the new year bring you renewed strength, outspoken voices, and the love, support, and good fortune of those we cherish most.
