How To Write A Letter To The Judge On Behalf Of Sons Feeling After Assault

Dear Judge [Judge’s Last Name],

I am writing to you today regarding the case involving my son, [Son’s Name]. I want to express the profound impact the assault has had on his life. In the immediate aftermath, [Son’s Name] was deeply shaken. He experienced significant emotional distress, including panic attacks and bouts of crying. Sleep became a challenge; he suffered from nightmares and found it difficult to fall asleep.

We immediately sought professional help, and he is currently attending therapy sessions to address the trauma. The changes in his behavior are clear – he is now more cautious, hesitant, and withdrawn. The incident has cast a shadow over his once carefree personality.

Sincerely,

Dear Judge [Judge’s Last Name],

Following the assault, my son, [Son’s Name], has experienced a significant disruption to his daily life. Previously an active student, [Son’s Name] now struggles to focus in school, his grades have declined, and he has withdrawn from extracurricular activities. He often expresses feelings of fear and unease when leaving our home.

The simple act of attending school is now a challenge. The incident has left him feeling vulnerable and insecure. Before the assault, he enjoyed social activities, such as playing sports and hanging out with friends; now, he hesitates, and he declines many invitations. He finds it hard to concentrate on homework.

Thank you for considering these points.

Sincerely,

Dear Judge [Judge’s Last Name],

I am writing regarding my son, [Son’s Name], and the physical manifestations of the trauma he is enduring. Post-assault, he has experienced frequent headaches and stomach issues, which his doctor attributes to stress and anxiety. These symptoms are affecting his well-being and capacity to focus.

The physical impacts have been a constant reminder of the assault, adding to his trauma. Sleep disturbances have been ongoing. He has periods of insomnia, and nightmares have resulted in night sweats and a constant feeling of unease. These symptoms often seem to intensify when reminded of the events.

Thank you for your attention to his needs.
