Everything Southern Humboldt and more
A children’s book. It’s getting a lot of media discussion. But somebody needs to warn Bunny Dad that the phones at jail aren’t secure, so that he doesn’t inadvertently cough up a recorded confession.
Unfortunately, this is a book, if it isn’t too dorky, which may be of use around here. But it looks pretty dorky.

It was scary.
Daddy grows medicine, and the man who took him away, Officer Friendly, had always been nice in the past when he and daddy spent time together. They laughed a lot.
I visited daddy in this really ugly building. It smelled bad. Daddy told me everything would be OK, but mommy keeps crying. She pretends she’s not, but I can tell.
I don’t know why growing medicine is OK sometimes but not OK other times.
Daddy is meeting with an Ernie. The Ernie is telling daddy that he’s got to “give up some info.” Daddy asks the Ernie, you mean give up Mayor Jones? Ernie says, “shhhh.” Then the ernie looks around the room and makes some funny hand motions.

Daddy’s Gone
© Alison Henderson
How do you sit down and talk to your son
and tell him that his Daddy has gone
It’s easier explaining the meaning of death
and why people die and draw their last breath.
But Daddy, he’s gone to no peaceful heaven
Instead he’s in prison and serving a seven
so how do you sit down and tell your own son
the why’s and the reason’s his Daddy has gone?
” Listen my son, you’ll need to be strong
Daddy has done something terribly wrong
He’s gone in to prison for quite a long time
and this is what happens when you commit crime”
” Daddy still loves us, he’ll phone and he’ll write
ring you to wish you goodnight and sleep tight
we can sit down together and write him a letter
it’ll make Daddy smile and make him feel better”
” We can go and see Daddy perhaps once a week
to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek
you can draw Daddy pictures and paintings at school
to put on his wall which will look really cool ”
I tried telling my son with emotional tact
the truth of the matter, you can’t hide the fact
his Daddy has gone and has gone for a while
you can’t say it with flowers or manage a smile.
So how do you sit down and talk to your son
and answer his question’s why Daddy has gone
all you can do is just tell him your way…………
and pray to the lord he’ll be home soon one day.

Here’s how you tell your child his or her dad is in prison on pot charges.
Son/Daughter,
I love you very much. Daddy loves you very much, too. And we both know how much you love Daddy.
Some adults are nice, but not all of them. And sometimes even the nice adults act not so nice.
Remember how when Danny hit you we told you not to hit back? Even though you wanted to?
There are adults just like Danny. We try to avoid them, but sometimes we can’t. They caught daddy growing medicine. They tell people that growing medicine is wrong, and people believe them. So people sometimes decide to punish people like daddy even though he hasn’t done anything wrong. Be proud of daddy for doing what he believes in.
Someday, you’ll be big enough to put the grownups like Danny in their place, but not yet. So even though it sounds awful, for now you have to let the Danny’s have his way, because they’re such big, powerful bullies. So does Daddy, because he’s not big enough to fight the Dannies either.
But remember what people like Danny do. That’s really important, do you hear me? Remember what people like Danny do. Because as you grow up, you’ll hear a lot of people talking about how great Danny is, but that’s just because they’re scared of him. People like Danny force other people to do what they say — they force them to go to fight one another, and they force them to do bad things, and they force them to pretend that they like Danny.
Someday you’ll be a big boy/girl. Remember what people like Danny did to people like Daddy. Not so you do the same thing to them, that would be wrong. But so when people tell you how nice Danny is, you can secretly know that they’re either wrong or lying.
That’s really important, more important than anything they teach you in school. That’s the most important thing you need to learn growing up, ok, honey? OK.

For 95% of the people, marijuana is a recreational drug.
For 5% of the people it is a medical necessity.

I have found that most if not all children’s books about explaining things are dorky. There is nothing cool about going potty, or jail. I feel for any parent or child that has to deal with that situation, for whatever reason.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Sounds easy to me.

BTW, I’ve got three strikes to go. That was easy too.

I figure that one component of Eric’s decision to move North was to avoid having to worry he might have to explain to his children when their classmates/friends parents were arrested or incarcerated. Or worse, if his children were visiting when the busts came down. That might also have professional ramifications.
Raising children in fear of discovery of ongoing criminal enterprise happening in their household is irresponsible parenting and child abuse.

I am confused. Where is the Bad Bunny version of this thread?
Did all the different blogs get jungled up together or something? It seems like unless one is a daily user, you just get left in the tech dust.
Is there a simple explanation of how to follow what is going on, or just keep flipping around or give up entirely and leave it to y’all?
(Seems to me like kids like dorky book, and sometimes daddy has to go to jail.)

anonamayo – I was confused too. Apparently when you click twice on the the picture, it comes up and you can post comments to it alone. When I put the photo into the post, WordPress asks me to name it. “Bad Bunny” was just the first thing that came to mind.

What some kids need is a book about why Mommy ties Daddy up or how Uncle Joe rolls up a dollar bill and breathes in white powder.

Let’s have children’s books to eliminate the stigma of criminal behavior. That’s such a horrible quaint taboo!

Then there is the situation when both mommy and daddy go to jail.
