Its no easy way to ask but here goes. From 1999-2002 In my younger years (19-22 years old) I made some really bad decisions. I wrote bad checks and also have a few forgery charges as well as a violation of probation (original charge Breach of trust less than 5k). Yes I know really bad decisions but I can't change them. Well long story short I ran from the charges instead of facing them. No excuse but I was a single mom and in fear of losing my child. I have worked to better myself for the past 5 years, have gotten married and even had another child (might not have been the best thing to do but I am glad he is here.) I have lived straight for the past 5 years and I know what I did was wrong and the guilt is so heavy on me I am turning myself in come Monday. I am ashamed of who I once was but that is really not who I am. I made mistakes I admit but I want to try to make them right. About the probation. I got a YOA suppended to 5 years on probation I did 3.5 almost 4 years and paid ALL of my restitution before I left. Now with the new/old charges I will have to deal with them accordingly but as far as the probation violation goes do you think the Judge will take into consideration the good I have done and the way I have changed my life around as well as the fact I paid my victim back in full? I refuse to be a failure and menace to society. I am do intervention on young adults that are going down the path I once was on. All and all I am scared not only for me but mostly my family. I do not want my children to grow up without a parent, my lawyer is asking for probation (lets be honest I dont think I will get it) then he is going to request house arrest of which I am all for because I will not be involving myself in any wrong activity and they are welcomed to monitor my every move plus I work from home so I dont care about leaving, and lastly JAIL TIME. 9 months -a year I can handle but any more then that I dont know. I have no violent charges or drug they are all white collar. I don't want to die in jail but I have to face my responsiblities. I want to pay ALL my checks back and be active in paying my debt to society not be thrown in a cell.
PS: For all those who are fleeing there charges it is best to deal with them. You cannot run forever and the law is in place for a reason. We have to obide by it. Change occurs from within yourself remember the road of criminal activity is a dead end road so you cant go forever,
