Witness Protection Program

The biggest problem I would have would be leaving my family and friends. I don't know if I could spend the rest of my life and never talk to them, miss out on all the wonderful events that happen in their lives, always looking over my shoulder, being on gaurd. I would be a real rough way to live. I just don't know if I had it in me. I would worry about my kids safety constantly, that would also put major restrictions on thier lives too. I just don't think I could do it.

I would hate it, you have to move away from everyone and everything you know and love and I do not think you are even allowed to contact your family in case it puts them in danger. If that happened and I was not allowed to be in touch or see my children it would be heartbreaking, I would definately not be happy.

If it wasn't for my mum I would be only too happy to do it! Relocate, a new name and a new start in life, it's kinda what happened when I escaped my ex, my ex doesn't know where I live now, although I haven't changed my name. I think it would be exciting and for me starting afresh would have a lot of pros more than cons. I couldn't lose contact with my mum but everything else wouldn't matter. I would still be Wolfie to my friends. I don't own or rent and I am not currently working, so it would be absolutely NO hardship to me. Although you would have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your natural

I couldn't leave my family. That would be too painful for me. Of course I wouldn't want to put my family at risk either so what on earth would I do? I don't know and hope I never have to find out.

I am sure I wouldn't want to do this either--- but what if you were in danger anyways. I mean wouldn't they know that you had evidence against them-- in that case I would want protection. I can't imagine leaving my family though- not my parents. To start over.. that would be scary!

even though it would be very difficult to leave my family and my previous life behind i think i would be able to manage...always been looking for a fresh start..

If I had to testify and then later assume a new identity and be without my family and friends then they might as well lock me up with the criminal...as life would not be worth living to me. If I couldn't have as much contact with my children as I wanted then I wouldn't be 'free' anyway...I'd be as 'locked up' as the criminal! It would surely cause me to slowly wither and die. I wouldn't mind starting with a new house, job and city, but the loss of my friends and family is what would kill me.

I don't know if I could handle that either. I have always wanted to move away from here though so it may be a good thing for my husband and I. I think I may try it and see how it works out, but they would have to offer me a good incentive first.

I would not mind being in a program like this right now. I have my kids very near by, but they have their own lives, and talk to me when they feel like it, or in my daughters case " when she want's to vent" or needs money or a favor. So yes I would love to get away and possibly start a new life, that could take me anywhere. I'm not saying my life is bad, but a change of pace would sure be nice.

Right now I would not be able to leave my mom, she is 86 years old. But, if I can take my kids and hubby, I would change the way I live and where I live, I would do it. Now for my kids to do it and not run thier big mouths on the internet about it, that would be a WHOLE different story. My one son LOVES to be on the internet chatting with his friends. He doesn't have a lot of friends in this area though. I would love to start over, but having a son with special school needs and being bipolar, it would not be easy to do.

i am not sure about that. i seen people in movies who have done that. its looks like a hard thing. i am not sure if i could handle it if i was to ever be in that position.

It may be worth it if it gets rid of the scum that has acted so evil and has intimidated the innocent.

I've moved and started over so many times on my own, it isn't even funny. Probably wouldn't bother me at all.

If the case is personal or something importance to you it might be worth it .Otherwise i don't think it is of any use because you testimony is not going to change anything except your life and the life of the convict . with regards www.chocolatesavy.com

There are some days, where I feel I wouldn't mind starting over. However, I would want to be the one to make that choice to do so on my own, and not because I have to in order to be safe and keep my life. Also, I wouldn't have a problem in relocating to a new place, I have moved many of times in my life time. However, I could never cut all ties to my family, by not letting them know where I was, or how I was doing. My family means too much to me to do that.
