I just had the most loveliest hour conversation with Ruth form SIN. I never engaged with this service until last month when the CPS decided to prosicute my son. The last year has been terrible, worrying about all of this and I lost my Mum in June too (My son's 2nd Mum, so this was terrible for him and me as well as moy other children)
It was so nice to speak openly and freely about the things I'm angry about, like the fact my husband refuses to read the CPS report but I had too (our son was just over 18 when arrested and has autism) So I have had to be in every meeting and hear everything. (being in a safeguarding job for 10 years, some of it was really hard as I really understand the other side)
We have been to magistrates (they let me sit in the dock with him, again something I raged at my husband about yesterday, he never offered) and we are awaiting a crown court date (Hopefully before xmas) and I can sit in the dock again with him then.
I just wanted to say anyone that is reading this and wondering if they should contact, do so. I wish I had done it 11 months ago.
I'm hoping to go on the informers course to support my Son but would like to do it with other Mums if there are any waiting.
Wishing you all lots of strengh.

Hello just want an end to it.
Thank you for sharing your post, I am very pleased you have found someone you can talk to about how you are feeling. I am not sure who SIN actually are, are you able to reply back with details of who there are?
You are incredibly strong supporting your son during this journey and through the court process by sitting next to him and being there for him. I can relate somewhat to this as the young person in our family,who was convicted, is also on the autistic spectrum. I was the person who supported him through the whole process with other family members not coping particularly well at all. I am so please that SIN can continue to support you through this process, so that you can continue to give the best support you are giving to your son.
I am thinking of you and your son and wishing you all the best. Remember to take care of yourself the best you can as it is so easy to neglect yourself during this process.

Thank you for replying Alison, thats so kind of you. It felt quite lonely there for a while. Sometimes there is no choice but to be strong. I am lucky with wonderful family, It breals my heart that others might not have this
Sorry i just acronymed Stop it now to SIN haha.
It sounds like your Autistic person was lucky to have you too. Its such a worry and trying to get the balance right of taking responcibility, but knowing how and why it hsppened which I and the solcitor feel there was grooming/explotation. I supoose this is up to our solicitor and barrister to express in court.
Can I ask how your case turned out? Please feel free to message me as I know it can be hard putting details on her. Thanks for your time.

Hello Again
It made me smile, of course SIN is Stop It Now, I have just never seen that as an acroynym before!
As a family we did use SIN a lot. The young person in our family did their young person inform course which was good for them to do, so that they could process and understand how they had managed to go down this wrong path.
I will send you a private message with the outcome we had.
