My Story

---

This page shares my story with documentation, not speculation.

It exists to show how quickly narratives can form, how slowly facts are reviewed, and how evidence—when preserved—can contradict assumptions that carry life-altering consequences.

This is not a request for sympathy. It is a record.

• This story is presented chronologically
• Claims are supported by screenshots or records where available
• Interpretations are clearly labeled as interpretation
• Children’s privacy is protected

Readers are encouraged to examine the documentation and reach their own conclusions.

I am a father. Prior to the events described below, I had no history of violence, abuse, or criminal behavior. I believed that cooperation, transparency, and documentation would be sufficient safeguards.

That belief proved incorrect.

What was alleged:
My former spouse alleged that I bit our 1.5‑month‑old son on the shoulder and reported this allegation to law enforcement.

Immediate impact:

• Law‑enforcement involvement
• Child‑services scrutiny
• Suspension or restriction of parenting time
• Reputational damage

At this stage, the allegation itself carried consequences before evidence was reviewed.

Context (fact‑based):
Prior to this allegation, I had been the primary day‑to‑day caregiver for all three of my children for approximately three years without any history of abuse, violence, or safety concerns.

Despite the documentation above, restrictions remained in place.

This section describes process failures, not personal attacks:

• Evidence reviewed late
• Narrative momentum outweighing correction
• Risk‑avoidance overriding verification

Delayed acknowledgments
Procedural notices

Even when allegations are unsupported, the impact can be severe:

• Loss of time with children
• Financial strain
• Psychological stress
• Long‑term reputational harm

Corrections do not always undo consequences.

Interpretation: The system prioritized accusation over verification and struggled to correct course once a narrative was established.

This interpretation is based on the timeline and documentation above.

Because silence allows distortion to persist.

This page exists so others can:

• See how evidence can be overlooked
• Learn how documentation protects truth
• Recognize patterns before harm compounds

• Names and identifying details may be altered
• Screenshots are presented with context
• No content is intended to harass or target
• Children’s privacy is protected at all times

Accusations move fast. Evidence moves slower.
When systems fail to wait for facts, innocent people can lose years trying to recover what rumors took in days.

This page exists to document—not exaggerate—that reality.

• Roughly 4 out of 5 child abuse investigations are ultimately found to be unfounded.
   
• When including hotline reports dismissed early, up to 92% of child abuse accusations are deemed false or unsubstantiated.
   
• Federal research found child-protection workers were 2 to 6 times more likely to wrongly label an innocent family than to miss an abusive one.
   

• Studies show that once an accusation is made, confirmation bias can cause investigators and observers to favor information that supports the allegation and dismiss contradictory evidence.
   
• This bias explains why evidence of innocence is often ignored after a narrative forms.
   

• Psychological research on the illusory truth effect shows that when a false statement is repeated often enough, people begin to believe it is true.
   
• This explains how rumors can harden into “facts” even when evidence contradicts them.
   

• The Innocence Project reports 200+ DNA exonerations of wrongfully convicted individuals as of 2025.
   
• 63% of wrongful convictions involved mistaken eyewitness identification.
   
• These cases demonstrate how sincere accusations can still be wrong.
   

• Data from Project Implicit shows approximately 75% of people demonstrate unconscious bias on standardized tests.
   
• These biases influence real-world decisions in law enforcement, child welfare, and courts.
   

• A major hiring study found identical résumés received 50% more callbacks when associated with traditionally white-sounding names.
   
• Classroom experiments show how quickly authority and social cues can create perceived guilt or innocence.
