Testimonies of Collateral Damage by Megan's Laws 
 
Military Wife and family being destroyed
My name is Darcy and my hubby's name is James. We were living in Germany last year when my husband was detained for receiving and possessing child pornography and indecent acts with a minor.  We have five children of our own and there I was- stuck in a small village in Germany with these kids, my husband was made to live in the barracks until his trial.  All of this started at the end of Sept and his trial wasn't until this March.  But he wasn't in custody at all until he was sent to Mannheim on the 19th.  So I was faced with figuring out how to get back to the States with my kids, where we were going to live and everything.  My husbands parents were going to help us find a place in Illinois and help me get on my feet.  But my ex husband decided to go to court and ask them not to let me leave Washington state because of what he's done.  I have to go back to court in May.  I have made the decision to stay with my husband and give him my support and love through this.  I have no doubt in my mind that he won't do anything like this again.  But he was convicted to 12 years and will be transferred to Leavenworth fairly soon.  He is supposed to be filing clemency paperwork here pretty soon but is so depressed and downhearted that he doesn't even want to try.  I want to help him in anyway I can but I have no idea how to start. 

Can anyone here help me?  Also is there any way that we will ever be able to live as a family again?  I want my husband home with me and the kids again.
