I'm falling to pieces

Hi simon...I personally think it unlikely he will get a prison sentence but also depends upon how the case is represented.

You will know the role, but witnesses of past run in's and the facebook comments might help...are the comments still there or have they been removed..?

And as already mentioned, him carrying the glass was a no no..

But also as whitebeam mentioned....please do talk to the doctor if you feel the pressure is too much...

Good luck and our thoughts are with you and your family..

I'm sorry to hear your troubles, and i hope everything tunrns out ok foryou, one thing though if this lad posted death threats on face book he could also be in serious trouble as its a criminal offence to do so, also there was a girl who got sent down for it, a couple of weeks ago.

Went magistrates court today, sent to crown court because he's been charged with 2 offences and one of them can only be heard there.

Barrister is happy there are no stictches ( not the same man we saw yesterday, this is the main man) all witness statements show my lad walking away only and not the actual assault , plus the lad he did it to says he started on my lad by hitting him first and pushing him, also admits in his statement he had been after my lad for weeks.

Basically, the barrister reckons my lad has a good chance of not going to prison, but watch this space.

Please don't get me wrong, I've told my lad, and his mates time and time again not to walk off from the pubs with the glasses or bottles, I'm in fact extremely angry with him, not only for myself, wife and family, but for him.

lets hope that the court sees it as "juvenile exuberance"

stay calm, he was carrying a glass, ok I will be the one that everyone says, " that diamond tiling has got a big gob", Fred lets face it, if you carry a knife you are asking for trouble, whats the difference? your boy as good as he may be had a glass, he might have had no intention of doing anything with it, thats tough, the court will look at that bad, too many kids get away with being out of control, your boy may be a good boy but forget that in the eyes of the law, If he goes to Jail then thats it there is nothing you can do about it except be there for him when he comes out. There are too many people in this world who think they know everything and dictate to others their point of view but they are mis-guided, I sincerely hope that everything turns out good for you and your family. I have been there Fred, Prison is not nice, it is hard because it is boring and you miss your family, you lose a lot of things that you thought were important but are in fact nothing. Many so called hard men fall to bits on the other side of the wall. PM me Fred and I will help you as much as I can, I run a training programme in 3 prisons, I know you do not want to hear my words but I would rather speak the truth.

Thanks Diamond for telling me the facts!
I know this is a hard time, but folks, its really helped me see the truth. We have a few pm's now, and its picking me up, thanks mate!

I know alot of you know I was old bill, but I came out seven years ago, and with the depression I suffer, I've forgot alot of the system.

I thank each and EVERY ONE of you, and I mean that, for your support.

My son is in trouble, I just wish he and my wife could see that.

Just to update all who remembered this post.

The pre & post photos of the lad my lad hit came in a few weeks ago. Thamk God he only had a few scratches on his face from the glass. He now has no scars, my wife and I are thankful for him that he is not scarred for life.

I met my son's solicitor a few weeks back with my lad and decussed the facts.

I did my Ex-Police officer bit etc............any way, the solicitor, seeing the photos of the other lad also agreed it was not GBH with intent nor without intent, and wrote to the crown prosecution service stating that etc...........

My lad got a letter today stating they were dropping the assault to ABH only............pow....am I relieved, my lass not going to prision.

He's also been accepted in the RAF on a 9 year apprenticip as an airframe fitter, providing he does not go under.

I do not like what he did, but he is still my son.

Thought some of you may like to know. I will tell you the out come of sentencing in a month or so. Fred.

Glad the other lad isn't scarred and your boy can still follow his dream in the RAF
