We are almost post three weeks since sentencing, however it feels a world away.
My son left court with a two year community order, SHPO and the usual five years on the register.
That first evening was relief it was finally over, however we waited for the local press to report their events. They did, the following day.
What followed, felt like hell. That evening the small town we live in got their claws out on social media. I don't have any accounts so had nothing to remove myself from, however my daughter read them.
And this is where it ended.
that was it.
since that evening our lives have slipped back to the very place we were before the knock almost three years ago.
We no longer live with the weight of court and even prison hanging over us. My son has had two very constructive meetings with the probation service, who have been incredibly supportive.
And today, after obtaining his CSCS card days before sentencing, he secured a full time job with a construction company today.
I really hope others have positives after this nightmare and can begin to rebuild xx

Well done to your son getting a job time to rebuild and put this behind you, I remember the media so well but like you say once it was out there that was it
Such a good positive story and I wish your son the best of luck . We are two weeks post sentence. Suspended. My person was reported in the media and social media. Similar to you . Lots of keyboard warriors. So far no repercussions. He's been able to go about his day and hasn't had any bother. Fingers crossed this continues. Xx
