Re: possesion

Punishments could include prison time and loss of child custody. You'll get 'legal support' by hiring an Oregon attorney to defend you. Other than that, tips and hints from here aren't going to be of any value to you.

Did this actually happen in Oregon or in California? I am a bit confused.
