In 2016, the Department of Children and families filed against me due to a false report from a former roommate. The report was vile and blatantly untrue.however DCF proceeded with it.
The judge saw how absurd the claims were, found me "not guilty," threw them out of court, and said that the State was wrong for pursuing this in the first place.
Now, 2019, DCF is filing a CHINS (Children In Need of care or Supervision) against me.
In the "history" section is full of blatant falsehoods. It says that I was substantiated in 2016 for child abuse (even though a court found me not guilty, and threw it out). It says that my child was at one point placed in State custody (simply not true).
There's court records of the case, and it being thrown out... but it is in juvenile court, so the records are sealed. How do I prove my innocence in old cases, when I can't get the records?
