Update on Chad

We found out on Thursday that Chad has a warrant out for his arrest. The way we found this out is we got several letters from lawyers stating it had come to their attention that he had a warrant and they would like to represent him. We still haven't received anything from the courts. We have retained a lawyer and he told us about a program that Chad can hopefully be accepted into in and he wouldn't have to pay bail. As of now we are looking at a $10,000 bail. He is being charged with a Class A misdemeanor for Child Abuse with Physical Injury. We were able to finally speak to someone from this agency today and if he is accepted into the program he will be required to take an anger management class and he will have to move out of the home with no contact with Jared at all. The lawyer can ask the judge to drop that but until that happened he would have to go live at his mom's house. This whole thing is just ridiculous. Basically he is guilty until proven innocent. I'll keep everyone updated as we learn more. All your prayers would be really helpful right now.

Wish I had something helpful to say but in my experience the court system stinks and that is putting it very mildly!!!
