When the Bridgeton Police Detective and Lieutenant gave me our son “Abuser” Personal Identifiable Information on September 1, 2020. I made the choice too…

Accountability or Justification”

I had no idea meeting with Detective Paxton and Lieutenant Martin at the Bridgeton Police Department on September 1, 2020 in St. Louis County, Missouri would be the day I would leave with information so personal of the perpetrators who plotted a scheme against our son. The meeting with the officers was violative ,combative and intense.

They attempted to misrepresent video footage of April 17, 2018 by staging another version of the traumatic day our son being assaulted by his teacher. The SRO and Officer of the Bridgeton police department had already fabricated his version on May 24, 2018 and alleged to have corroborated surveillance footage that no assault occurred. This was another story.

Evidently they didn’t know I had already seen several doctored April 17th, versions. It was humiliating and degrading that two sworn officers who jobs were to investigate crimes were committing one right in front of me.

They chose to stray away from their official duties by continuing to conceal a assault, and tamper with evidence to cover for the original author of the fabricated report.

After leaving the Bridgeton Police Department hysterical because of the tricks of the officers and them attempting to deceive me about our son being “inaccurate” as the Detective. The alleged assault never happened. This was unreal, I had to get out of there.

When I made it to my car, holding the police report given to me. I didn’t bother to look at it because I had my original copy since May 8, 2018. Once I made it home with my daughter that drove me. I decided to review their copy of the police report given to me.

Unbeknownst to me, another narrative of the original report and personal information of the abuser (teacher), (former SSD coordinator) who helped in planning of the cover up and other staff members was included.

Knowing that our son is described in the officer report on May 24, 2018, as violent , kicking a door , screaming and cursing over a key to the elevator , swinging a red bag at her and pointing his finger knowing it was a deliberate attempt to cast our son as the abuser and not the teacher, was hate and racism.

She was the innocent teacher and our son was the violent hardened black student.

“Our family had to cope with the false characterizations of our son.”

Going through every page of the report on top of every feeling of aggression that I had inside of me. I wanted to reveal all their information even though this wasn’t who I was as a person. I could have crushed their souls as they did to me and my family. I could have sold all of there social security numbers to people who do nothing but steal other people identities. I could have went to their homes or sent ruthless letters to them.

I also would be wrong and judge if I had that kind of hateful intent in me. I would never do anything to purposely hurt another even though they hurt me. I always thought to myself , “Let the justice system handle them.”

I didn’t want our children destroyed or alone because of vengeance. It’s a hard pill to swallow keeping your cool year after year knowing lies are floating from one crooked hand to another..

I’m staying as always on the right side of the law. There will come a day and time when all their secrets will come to light. You can’t kill off mental and physical abuse of a child and expect it to go away. Our son is still tormented daily with flashbacks and nightmares. He paces the floor afraid to go to bed because he knows what coming in his dreams. He stills see a therapist and psychiatrist. He still takes five medications daily for all his newfound illnesses that are a result of the assault.

CJ is living in my mind in a locked jail cell wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and I have to free him. Until justice is served, I will continue to advocate for him and keep his incarceration in my mind.

This is why I chose to share our sons journey and story because newspapers were afraid too. I can prove my allegations as I tell CJ story. He is a real life human being that didn’t deserve so many people of authority shoving him under the rug and stepping on his violated Constitutional and Civil Rights.

We will continue to share CJ journey so that other special needs children can be taken seriously. It’s just not sexual abuse that victims experience, it’s physical, domestic, and verbal abuse also. Survivors of any assault are warriors in their own right.
