I wrote about a couple of weeks ago about the crackwhore and people living in my dads house, taking advantage of him because he is mentally disabled, well I couldn't take action fast enough to get him out of his situation, and the people who were living with him and the crackwhore, broke into the neighbours house, who recently passed away, and brung it into my dads house, My dad got the blame. The police took him into custody for something he didnt do. They also found a ton of cocaine and pot in my dads house and he is facing serious prison time. I feel terrible and depressed. I have cried all week because I know he's going to prison. He's mentally disabled and going to prison. I'm afraid for him very much...my whole family seems to be falling apart, and I just can't deal anymore... my brother is going to try to get the court to order him into an institution and is going to get minimal custody of him. isnt there anything more we could do, if my dad goes to prison he may not make it out

my dad is going to prison because of what they did, I know my father and know he would never steal anything. He thinks that everyone is his friend and he lets others take advantage of him. He didnt do this but because it was stashed in his house (aside from drugs because I know he does drugs) but he wouldnt steal especially not off of the friend that died that they stole off of... but my dad is going to prison because of them!!!

Find proof that he is mentally disabled. If you have the paperwork they would probably be placed in an institution and would probably be placed on treatment. Better yet, try to find proof that he didnt steal it. Was he at home when they brought the stuff over from the other house?? If so, why did he let them in his house with all of that stuff?? Even if he didnt steal it the police probably would think that he is an accessory because he kept the stolen goods on his property. Stay strong!! Hope it all works out.

Sounds like you need to find some kind of support. A counselor or someone who is in a position to find you help, like a police officer or social services. If your dad is unable to make decisions for himself then maybe someone needs to be put in the position to do that for him. I don't know how old you are but it sounds like you are too young to have to deal with all this.I would suggest, if you are living in that environment that you find somewhere else to stay. If your father is found to have a mentalo disability he would not go to a regular prison, he would be placed in a facility that would be specific to his needs-maybe where he could get some help with his drug problems and learn better ways to care for himself and how to make better decisions. Good Luck and take care of yourself.

So sorry that this is happening to you. I don't know whereabouts you are from but try contacting Samaritans for someone to talk to and perhaps they can even advise you. Your dad shouldn't go to prison. Could you possibly appeal on grounds of your dad's condition?
Wish I could help you more.
Best Wishes

If your father has been diagnosed with a mental illness by a medical doctor before this event happened, it is possible that he might not have to go to jail. If he was not declared to have a mental illness, he will have to go through court testing to see if he is mentally capable of understanding what he is being accused of and what the consequences are.

I am so sorry to hear about you and your family's misfortune. Were his fingerprints on the drugs? You should consult a lawyer. If you can't afford it, try getting a lawyer to do a pro-bono. Explain to them that he is mentally disabled. If you have proof, which you will need, show it to him/her. Best wishes to you and your family. Take care.

Get him a good lawyer to use his mental condition as a defense along with Any evidence you can get to prove he did not do it. Fight now because there is no future once he is gone.

You need help to deal with this.
If you Dad is truly mentally disabled that should be taken into consideration.

Stop worrying, worry is a lack of faith. Get out of the problem and into the solution quick. Seek legal help.
