Is there a punishment to making False Charges against a single parent?

As a single parent, I attended college while bringing up my son. During my last semedter at a private university, a neighborhood woman of color decided that I should have been home, and not continuing to further my education. She scammed my son into believing this farce and charging me an an Unfit parent, 5 times; all charges UNFOUNDED, But in this process as a brittlr diabetic, these charges cause me to be blinded by the stress. Is there anything I can do to the Vicious woman that insisted that I need a new direction?Is there a punishment to making False Charges against a single parent?
First of all, I hope there is some sort of penalty for this kind of thing.





Second of all, why does it matter that she's ';a woman of color?'; Do you consider yourself racist? If not, maybe you should check again, because your question says so to me.Is there a punishment to making False Charges against a single parent?
Something tells me this might be a troll question, but oh well.


Yes, it's illegal to make false charges against someone. If you can prove that she knew that you weren't an unfit mother, you can have her arrested and possibly get a restraining order.


By the way, the law is for everyone, not just single parents. Being a single mother doesn't give you special protection. It's also very unlikely that you will be able to get your neighbor for causing you to go blind. It's your responsibility to manage your diabetes. Furthermore, the color of the woman's skin has nothing to do with the charges. Your racist attitude is not going to help your case.


*ETA* Erica, you're completely missing the point. The woman's race has nothing to do with the situation, so there was no reason to mention it.
I doubt it very much





You have to prove that your blindness was caused by stress, not by you not taking better care of your blood sugar.





Was somebody caring for your son whilst you were at college, if not the question could be raised as to why not, and should you not have tried to find some kind of child care rather than leaving him alone.





Im not saying that it is all your fault, its absolutely not. Im just saying that you probably would not have any claim to make against this interfering woman.





Oh and good for you too, furthering your education and being a single parent must have been VERY hard.
Yes.


Fraudulent accusations are punishable by law. You could always take the defamation route, and she was definitely tarnishing your image by making these heinous claims.


Consult your lawyer for more information.
Yes Valerie there most certainly is and that's if what you have written is correct so my advice call at the local C. A. B. and they will advise you
Its called deformation of character. Also, if she says anything else you can bring up the fact that you go to college to build a better life for your child. Legally the court can't do anything about it, unless it is found that you are a unfit parent. Keep your home clean get rid of any alcohol, and lock any weapons that you may have in a safe. Also, your child should be in either a very good daycare, with a really good babysitter, or with a family member that you trust. All of these things is what she has either tried or will try getting you in trouble for. As long as you show that you are a fit parent she can take you to court all she wants, she will just loose.





Edit: To comment on the ';women of color,'; remark. People: The lady this asker is referring to might be racists against her the asker. Did you ever think of that. Just because a white person says ';a women of color,'; doesn't mean they are racists. Just like most black people refer to me as white girl. Stop all the racist crap its already gotten out of hand!
I get into a lot of problems when I start to practice law and medicine.





Hiring a hit-man seems like it should be out of the question.





If there is any agency such as Legal Aid that would help you, I would direct you there. It seems to me that the person you need to make amends with is your son, who obviously believed that he had some basis for the complaint, or he would not have been susceptible to her influence.





I am not blaming the victim here, I am trying to look for a solution that doesn't involve depositions and court dates. You're going to be his mother all his life. If you don't repair that relationship now, you can lose it forever.





Make the changes that are possible, accept the things you cannot change. Find the serenity to know the difference. That's a prayer, Lord.
