    On Parole from Illinois in Florida
    Excon,
    I am on parole from Illinois (Interstate Compact) in Florida. I received 5 years in Illinois for theft, I served 2 years and got out on parole, I have completed a year of parole in Florida. My father recently passed away and I had to watch him die on hospice at my parents home, my mother called on me to do everything... she didn't help take care of my dad or anything, stayed in the her bedroom and never came out. Before he died I had a loan with my dad to pay off some things, he agreed as long as I paid him back, not knowing he was going to die... well after his death my mother received his credit card statements and on one was a check he sent me for the loan, she is now seeking to prosecute me so that she isn't liable for the bill, he left her with no life insurance money and nothing to live on other than his social security and he was a retired vet (so she'll have about 2 grand a month) but she says that's not enough to live on... ugh. In any case , can I be prosecuted? Should I contact my p.o? Im scared and do not want to spend anymore time in Prison. It was scary and hard the first time around. Will they send me back to Illinois? Keep me in Florida? Im not sure how this all works.
    My mother was cheating on my father when he died, I found out and accused her and well it didn't go so well and that is why she is doing this to me... plus , SHE used his bank account and cc's to pay for his cremation etc and WAS NOT on his accounts. What should I do? What can I do?

    Thanks so much
    Valerie

    Hello V:

    Based upon what you said above, you broke no law and didn't violate your parole. YES, you absolutely SHOULD tell your PO.

    However, I recall a very similar post not long ago where the OP had a BIGGER hand in the transference of the money than YOU say YOU did. If that WASN'T you, you're cool. If it WAS, you need to worry.

    Hello again, V:

    Ok, I see that wasn't you... Freaky, though, isn't it?

    The money came from my father's paypal account in the form of a check before he passed away. I have no way to get into his accounts, so I didn't send the check to myself. But this is what is being said by my mother. She has enlisted the help of my Uncle, who is an ex cop in Florida and called me and threatened me and told me to leave the state or I was going to Prison for a long time, lol, I am not leaving my home. She on the other hand, who is NOT on any of my father's accounts, because he was smart, has used his cc's , his bank accounts to pay for things both before and after he died, without his permission. She wrote his checks and signed his name to them,
    To deposit money into HER checking account. She also used his debit card and withdrew money everyday while he was alive on hospice and after he died. Is there anything I can do? The bank called the house one day and said they were putting a hold on my dad's account due to excessive use of his atm card.

    My uncle stepped in and said he was taking her to probate court to file papers to make her my dad;s beneficiary..
    Some sort of paper you file when there is no will. When I called the courthouse they said there has been nothing filed for my dad.
    I'm a parolee from a different state and just afraid that an investigation will violate me and send me packing.. just don't know what to do is all...
    Thanks for your replies

    Hello again, V:

    Unless somebody LIES, or the investigator is an absolute DUNCE, the investigation will show that you did nothing wrong. If you feel like you're being ganged up on, hire a lawyer. But, if you DON'T tell you PO IMMEDIATELY, it will LOOK like you're guilty... They don't need much more than somebody LOOKING guilty...
