Being accused of something you didn't do

Funny thing Ive always had this topic bottled up inside my head for 6 years until Dollyholly brought it up, its feels kinda good to bring it out in the open.
Thanks guys.
 
Thanks Ameriscot! Davey, good you got that off your chest, it's not healthy to carry those things inside and not talk to anyone about them. Glad you're feeling better for it. :love_heart:
 

I did once quit a job because I was unfairly accused of wrongdoing. I still remember the look on the administrator's face when I quit. She quickly tried to backpedal but it was too late. I had no debt whatsoever and an emergency fund set aside for just such an occasion. I was without a job for about three months but was then hired by a better firm at a higher salary. All's well that ends well!

Oh yes kudos for that Glinda.. ..thank god you had enough money to survive on to enable you to tell admin precisely where she could shove her job..
 
My half sister who passed away almost 10 years ago had a habit of telling lies going from one sibling to another to stir the pot ..
She spent allot of time in prison as I have mentioned in past posts so I guess she learned a bad few habits while "doing time" however I overlooked a lot of her lies, as I believe most of the lies were attention seeking, due to the neglect and abuse we all suffered as children.
She is the sister I mention in a previous post ,had a child at 15 and she passed away without ever knowing what happened to the child as she was taken home from the hospital, but was taken from the home one day while she was out and was never reported as missing. Vicky, tried to trace the child on learning she had blood cancer , at 50 years old, and was given six months to live, however she just ran into brick walls as all the records were the child was taken " home" So I guess there were heaps of lies in my mother and step fathers home regarding wher the child went??????? I was still living in NSW at the time , this all happened in a small country town in SA ..So to this day a huge lie/ mystery has been covered up by someone ??for quite a number of years
if the child is still living she would be 44 years old ... as Vicky would be 60 in feburary in she was still living ..
 
That's real tragedy Kadee.. your whole family must wonder to this day what happened to that child, perhaps she was unofficially adopted and has grown up not even knowing she had another mother, how sad!!
 
I really felt for Vicky , she spoke to me about the child ,two days before she passed away and said she had checked the welfare to find out if the child had been adopted out but had no luck ,She had a parole officer who also helped her but they all came up blank ..
Some of the family still bring it up and others don't believe she ever had a child, ? I personally believe she did as my step father mentioned it, and said she had a child to an aboriginal man... ( lies) However I believe what Vicky told me .....The whole thing was all,covered up by some family because it was a case of family incest.
 
OMG Incest?...it gets worse...oh dear what a horrendous thing to have happen to her, sounds like your step sister had a rotten life, ( I know you all did tragically) but hardly surprising that she went completely off the rails. Poor girl :(
 
If the person responsible was still alive I would do my best to have them jailed, however complaints were made at the time against the person but the police didn't / would not believe Vicky that was long before she went off the rails ..
 
I got accused of a lot of things that I did not do. Quite a few times when I arrested drug dealers or addicts holding dope on their person, I would be accused of stealing their stash. I arrested a thief several years ago that had just robbed a gas station of $700.00. The thief put in his statement that he knew he had over a thousand dollars, so the cop must have stolen from him. Another time, I picked up a hitchhiker illegally thumbing a ride along the interstate. When I patted him down, he had a .38 inside his belt with no permit. He put in his statement that he did not have a weapon and I planted it on him.

Several others, but you get my drift.

I pity the officers in Arizona. It's the wild west here. You can legally carry concealed anywhere in the state, that coupled with our heavily tinted windows makes walking up on a vehicle on a stop a little eerie. We have police involved shootings every week some with fatal results for the officer.
 
Yes I know a person that was unjustly accused. arrested, tried and convicted of something I knew he did not do. Crime was a misdemeanor but I won't go into detail. he is still reminded every day how wrong the judicial system can be. I used to be a believer in our system but not anymore. Don't ask me to participate in jury duty....

Oh I'd forgotten about this thread...it's been a long time

Yes I understand you beachguy. I know someone who has a criminal conviction that has stayed with them all their life, prevented them travelling overseas with their family, and getting certain jobs, and I know for a fact they didn't commit the crime.. Just ruined their life in many ways
 
No one likes to be accused unfairly and, yes, it has happened to me, the consequence was a deep rooted mistrust in people and to this day, a reluctance to mix and socialise
