I was getting my 3 kids ready for their baths. While I was undressing the littlest one, my oldest daughter (5 at the time), took it upon herself to start the water in the bathtub, and placed her sister into the water causing scalding on her feet. I had to rush her to E.R. And after that, my life became a living hell thanks to a lying cop who for some reason had it in for me. I had felt bad enough that I should have regulated the thermostat on the hot water heater to a lower temp in the first place. She accused me of being the one who placed my daughter in the hot water, she accused me of being abusive to my kids and wife, she just kept accusing me of all these outlandish crimes trying to make it look like I was some kind of animal or something. My kids were all taken away, my oldest daughte because she had worn jeans to school with a tear in them, and my baby because she was 2 weeks behind on her shots. We were at the burn center at that time, and her shots were the least of our concern, but of course, they had to find something to take my kids. I suffered very severe depression and PTSD and had to undergo lots of therapy and medication just to deal with everything. My wife had told her repeatedly that I had never laid a hand on her or any of my kids, this cops response "DON'T WORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROTECT HIM, WE CAN HELP YOU". And after my wife KEPT insisting it was the truth, all of a sudden she was like some kind of enabler. The entire system screwed us over, caused me to drop out of college, put us in the poor house, but most of all, destroyed the family I had always dreamed for years of having with that special someone. We have 2 more children now, but once, when my son was a baby, he got a piece of thread or something from a sock wrapped around one of his little toes while at the sitter, so we had to take him to the ER to get it removed.. This same cop harassed us about that as well. My wife is now a very paranoid person about our kids (8&10), they have never been at a baby sitters since, they do not stay over at friends houses, and both of us, have a somewhat irrational fear of police all because of this lying bitch. I don't hate all cops, I have a couple who are now actually pretty good friends of mine and helped me with the PTSD, insomnia, nightmares and depression and to break away from needing to medicate myself just to function.. So yeah, this thread will absolutely get a K&R from me.
