hi all ,

i never thought for one second id be here asking for any input ,

my brother was arressted about 2 years ago for indecent images but had no charges brought to him , he said he didnt do anything ,

fast forward to last friday night i get a call from the police asking if my brother can stay with me as him and my other brother had gotten into a fight and he had slit his wrists (i live 2 hours away) , they said he had been drinking ,

i thought it was down to him having to much drink and my mother is currently dieing at home and he has been looking after her as much as he can and lives with her and his dad , so i thought that was why he slit his wrists ,

anyway i picked him up at 11.30pm and he stayed the night and was crying saying he just wanted to die ,

in the morning i thought it would be like years before he would be sober and say sorry etc , but he was still a mess ,then he dropped the bombshell

he said i was arrested again and they took all my devices again , and i admitted i did look at indecent images (my heart was in bits i felt sick ,but in denial and said "dont worry we will get you help"

i took him straight away to the crisis team mental health in the hospital as hes diagnosed schizophrenia and aspergers , and they called me a few hours later saying that drinking alcohol lead to him doing it and that he swears he doesnt want to touch alcohol again ,

i took him back to my perants house ,

then i get a phone call from the police asking if he was staying at my house and i said no he stayed one night and i took him home , asked me if i had children here (which i dont have any as im not able to) ,

he said okay and that was that , but then i called to see my mother today and she looked awful ,

apparantly in the day the CID and a police officer called around and said he was no longer not able to see his daughter who is 11 years old and that he could now see her but not be left alone with her ! .

and then they knocked my perants house again that same night except at 3am in the morning (which is why my mother was so ill) and one of them said "i thought u were staying with your sister" and he said no that they all knew he was at home

i was livid so i rang them and said "i dont want you calling at my perants house at 3am as my mother was let out of hospital to die at home surely you could tell by looking at her shes a frail person and is ill"

they said an officer would ring me back but they didnt ,

just now had a message off my brother saying they called again at midnight today and said its in his bail conditions (he doesnt know what his bail conditions are) ,

hes got to go to the police station on june 19th , he told me there were 3 images on there and that he told them the truth ? he said he never sent them to anyone or spoke to anyone about it (it really makes my stomach churn) ,

will he go to jail ?

i think this would end my mothers life quicker ,



why did they tell him he was not allowed to see his daughter but then told he could , she was there today when i was visiting my mother ?

ive got to put aside my disgust by all of this because im worried about my mother ,

how serious is this ?

and why would his bail conditions be that they said they are allowed to call there anytime everyday to check on him ?



sorry about all the questions , but seeing my mother look so ill has scared me and i need to know how all this will penn out



any info i would gratefully appreciate it

sending hugs to those in similar situations to myself x
