Long story
Notifications OFF
He told us he'd dl 3 photos and had been arrested because they were underage. We had no reason to disbelieve him. He lied. He went to court alone as he didn't want me or our mum there, as he left he said "see you later". He never came home. Mum got a call from him later that evening. He got 2 years. We were in shock. How dare they make him a scapegoat.
The next day we read it in the papers. 3 turned into thousands, my brother is a monster.
My mums house was smashed up late one night and she moved in with us. We cut him off. I messaged him a couple time when he came out but didn't mention it. I messaged him a few days ago and got no reply. He's been recalled back to prison. What does that mean? He's broken his parole or caught trying to do it again. He's not the type to break his parole.
I don't know how to feel. I now thinking cutting him off wasn't the right thing to do as he has nothing more to lose. I don't know where to go from here.

Dexbo,
I'm so sorry you find yourself here and yourself and Mum have been dragged into this. It's hard enough to deal with everything that comes with this journey when there's honesty but lies make it worse. In regards to the media, they do sensationalise and make everything sound 10x worse than it is. Being recalled could be a breach of conditions and doesn't necessarily mean he has downloaded images again.
Unfortunately, the answers you need are with the person in question. How did he get here? Why? How is he going to address and change the issues?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with washing your hands and moving on but if you did want to support him he will need to be totally honest with you x
