Cabarrus county arrests

Help I feel like I am living in a parents nightmare! There are a lot of issues here so bare with me...
First of all, The most important part of this is my son told me a couple days ago that his dad and step mom both spank him and lock him in his room when he is in trouble and his dad threatened him by saying that next time he hits someone he better hope the cops get to him before his dad does because he is going to whoop his ass. I have asked my son before if his dad hits him and he has always told me no. but a couple weeks ago I saw a large bruise on his butt. I did ask him and he told me he didn't remember what it was from. I realize that I should probably call DHS or CPS but I know my son will not tell on his father and my son is currently at his fathers house and I don't want to cause him to get hit more if that is what is happening. I can see that he is scared of him and desperately wants his approval. Do I wait until my son is back in my care or will it look bad that I didn't report right away?
Secondly I need advice on the best course of action for proving that my ex is alienating me and trying to gain control of everything to make himself look like the more responsible parent.. Since getting divorced in 2022 I have had several issues with my ex husband regarding our child. First off our divorce hearing went not so well for me.. He had not seen our child except some weekends here and there over the course of a year and a half before we went to court but was hell bent on not paying me any child support so when it came time to discuss custody he asked for 50/50 and joint decision making and he got it. He made it seem to the judge that I had been purposely keeping our child away from him over that time and she bought it despite him having no evidence. I had no idea he was going to lie on the stand so I was unprepared and neither of us had lawyers. He still had to pay me some child support since I was paying for daycare but shortly after our divorce was final he enrolled our son in a different daycare and put him on his wife's medical insurance without telling me. I only found out because he took me to mediation to have his child support reassessed and he now pays me no child support. At first I thought that was his goal was so I was agreeable now I believe his goal is to get full custody of our son and remove me from his life as much as possible.
Since getting 50/50 custody his wife has been the one caring for my son. She picks him up and drops him off everywhere he goes except for exchanges at my house. She fills out any paperwork needed for my son including medical paperwork. They also repeatedly decide where he is going to go to after-school care, summer care, and sports without including me. I have reminded him repeatedly that even though he is paying he is still supposed to include me in these decisions and he always has an excuse why he thinks its ok that he doesn't. His wife signs consent on my sons paperwork as if she is his mother and leaves me off the paperwork completely. She doesn't even include me as a emergency contact. I also discovered that she has used my SS# on my sons dental paperwork under her name. The problem is because she is putting her info on the paperwork I cannot get copies of anything to prove it since it would be a hippa violation for anyone to give it to me. Can she really be giving consent for him as a step parent? especially for medical appointments. What can I do about it?
Over the last couple years my son has had behavior issues at school and is acting out aggressively towards teachers and the school counselor. My ex took this as an opportunity to enroll our son into a school in his district. (he was in mine initially). However was against our son going to therapy. I finally got him to agree to therapy after quite some time but demanded that our son go to one very specific place that does family therapy where my ex can be in the room with our son while he is there. He also demanded that our son go on Saturdays so that we can both take him separately since we alternate weekends. I got the referrals for therapists and chose a different one. My son loves her and he had major improvements in behavior until recently. She does not have weekends available but I welcomed my ex to come to therapy any time he wants and shared the therapists info and gave her his info as well. He is not happy and is still demanding I take our son to the place he wants and has been sending mean emails to the therapist questioning her ethics and telling our son that he is going to have her arrested. She is ready to quit because she is so uncomfortable.
Its worth noting that my ex also rarely allows me to have contact with my son while he is at his house. Does not allow me to pick my son up from his house for exchanges and will not share info about sports or activities that my son is enrolled in so that I cannot attend them.
They have both said things to my son to try to turn him against me. They have told him that he and I are not a family because I am not remarried or have a father figure for my son in my household. They have told him that I am mean to his stepmom and I don't want her around. They have even gone so far as to tell my son that his step mom is his actual mom and that he should not trust me. They also seem to be telling him that they are going to move away to the mountains at some point. Neither his dad or I are allowed to move out of our current county without going back to court first. I think this is why he wants full custody.
We only speak through talking parents so most of this is documented on there. I am unsure if resources like CASA or TESSA would be helpful to me? My ex was aggressive towards me while we were together but never hit me so I never reported him. I do not have tons of money to spend on a lawyer but I will take out a loan if I have to. I did hire a lawyer previously and they were not much help and I ended up firing them before any action was taken. They told me that it was unlikely that custody would be changed and that it is very hard to prove parental alienation or emotional abuse of a child. Someone has also suggested that I get an attorney ad litem.. Surely the things that he and his wife are doing are not allowed but is a judge really just going to give him a slap on the wrist and let things keep going the way they are? I really feel at this point that my son needs to be in my custody or at the very least I should have full decision making to stop his father from alienating me. What would be the best thing for me to do?

My mother (52f) and I (27f) got into an argument because I was drinking alcohol. She took my phone from me and claimed I scratched heshoved her. The police came, and she refused to give a statement and did not wish to press charges. Police noticed & wrote in police report that there were no visible injuries on either of us. I was arrested and I have court coming soon. I do not have any money for an attorney, so I was wondering if I plead not guilty, will the charges get dropped? Or will I have to do probation, classes & community service? She is also willingly wanting to write a letter to the court stating that there were no injuries and we are ok. (We live together) This took place in Orange County, FL.

I just received a call from 720-913-3642, with the caller ID showing "Denver County Jail." The caller claimed I had a 'federal warrant' for failing to appear for a federal grand jury summons. Initially, I was suspicious, but it started to seem more real until they said I needed to go to Walmart.
I asked a few more questions, and the caller threatened to send an officer to arrest me. When I asked if I could record the call, they hung up. I immediately called the number back, and a nice lady confirmed it was a scam.
Please be aware!! I am not easily fooled, and I didn't fall for it this time, but it came pretty close.

First of all, The most important part of this is my son has been in trouble recently for hitting his school counselor. Well, He told me a couple days ago that his dad and step mom both spank him and lock him in his room when he is in trouble and his dad threatened him by saying that next time my son hits someone he better hope the cops get to him before his dad does because he is going to whoop his ass.

(Ohio) So a police officer contacted my mother the other day asking to speak to me saying that a warrant has been issued for a DUI that happened in 2013. I called the officer and spoke with her and she said I'm not arresting you on this because this should be a dead warrant. So I called the courthouse in the county it allegedly happened in and the secretary said that basically the paperwork had got lost for 11 years and they had just found it and that the only way for me to clear it up was turn myself into the jail and go in front of the judge. She also said that I had an original court date in 2011 and failed to appear for it. I don't ever recall having a DUI in 2011, with that said I also suffered a pretty bad TBI in 2021 so I guess its possible I could've forgot and maybe I did but I'm pretty sure I didn't. How is any of this legal for them to wait 11 years to try and prosecute this and what should I do now?

I'm an adult disabled child and have had a representative payee until the beginning of this year. Currently living in Montana but unable to receive the level of assistance I require from local groups due to the age and jurisdiction. This is regarding misappropriation of funds and identity theft with one of my previous payees from 2017-2021. As an adult disabled child with a representative payee I was informed that I could have no direct access to any form of money myself both by SSA when I received my award and by both of the representative payees I previously had. They would either give me cash without me having knowledge of available balance or directly give me a credit or debit card with instructions on what I was authorized to purchase that I would then surrender once I returned. Sometime during 2017 I made my then girlfriend Jennifer Jackson my payee. She recommended building credit for me and I authorized her to open two credit accounts on my behalf which she would manage with my social Security funds. The two accounts were PayPal and Capital One. The only updates that I ever received were verbal confirmation that they were paid and at some time in 2018 or early 2019 she showed me a printout of my credit report which listed my credit as over 700. Approximately 2-21, I was experiencing a panic attack and mental disturbance while being harassed by Miss Jackson while she was driving my vehicle. I wanted to go home. She refused and continued to harass me while attempting to force me to contact associates about procuring opioids for her because she was in withdrawals. I struck her twice in the arm. At that time she took me home. The police were called and I was arrested. A restraining order was placed in which she told the judge that she was completely dependent on my home, my vehicles and my income as her only form of support. This was unfactual as she also received roughly the same amount as me in SSI whereas I receive SSDI, and all bills were split between her myself my father and my stepmother. Each of our shares were approximately $350 a month as can be attested to on the financial reports supplied to social Security and the Georgia welfare programs. I was not allowed access to any monies from social Security from that date until my father was made my payee approx 7-22. I had no access to my family lawyer for several months due to this. Upon release I discovered that she had sold the vehicle that she was awarded use of by the restraining order. Her ex husband informed me of this via Facebook messenger which I received upon release. During the conversation to him I threatened legal repercussions and asked him to talk to her regarding where my car was and the money she had received and was arrested for harassment/stalking. The beginning of this year I was awarded control of my own finances for the first time. Upon doing so I discovered a total of three items in collections on my credit report totaling approximately $2,600. Portfolio recovery services (Capital One): $694 Midland credit management (Synchrony Bank): $1028 LVNV Funding LLC (Credit One Bank): $880 They will be removed from my report approximately the beginning of 2026. I am unsure how much money she collected on my behalf as social Security has been extremely difficult to work with me in any way regarding this matter. The original SSA office I spoke to, Barrow County, informed me that because we "lived together as man and wife" that she had full rights to any SSA funds even though we were not married and she was my payee. Several organizations have expressed outrage at the "blunt lie" of that statement as Georgia has not have any form of common law in many many years. I have spoken with social Security Representatives regarding this since I moved to Montana and was informed that it was at minimum inappropriate but likely illegal for her to attain credit on my behalf even with my knowledge as she was only authorized to manage social Security funds. This is a drastically different statement from when I was first awarded disability with a payee. I have also filed 2 reports with social Security regarding the misappropriation of funds but have thus far gotten no response. The first verbally when I was released from prison approximately 7-22 in person at the Barrow county social Security office. The second at the behest of my therapist, local social workers, and Disability Rights Montana was filed electronically approximately 2 months ago. I have contacted the Barrow county Police and filed a report. I have also contacted the three credit reporting agencies about this but no changes were made except to update with "customer disputes: meets Fair Credit reporting standards". I added a consumer statement to explain the situation of the debt reflected on my credit report as well. My previous lawyer, Macklin Smith (Deceased), informed me that any contact with her would likely end with more charges even if it was a lawsuit(because of the previous contact with her ex husband regarding the car and money and threat of lawsuit) and advised me to wait until the restraining order had expired to proceed. I would be satisfied with these items removed from my credit history. If the only way to do that is through civil or criminal litigation then I am comfortable doing so now that the restraining order is expired. I have sent letters to both the original creditors and the collection agencies that has since acquired the debt as well stating the same information as this post and stating that it is not an admission of debt ownership or permission to contact me regarding collections. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

My previous lawyer, Macklin Smith (Deceased), informed me that any contact with her would likely end with more charges even if it was a lawsuit(because of the previous contact with her ex husband regarding the car and money and threat of lawsuit) and advised me to wait until the restraining order had expired to proceed. I would be satisfied with these items removed from my credit history. If the only way to do that is through civil or criminal litigation then I am comfortable doing so now that the restraining order is expired. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

As someone that lives on the edge of the panhandle in AL. I am aware of many things that go on, & one of them I followed very closely was the targeting, and downfall of spring break in Panama City Beach which other beach cities have taken the same approach since including Miami Beach.
However Sol fest is turning out to look as if it's being targeted in a VERY similar way, if not the exact way Panama city beach was targeted to eliminate the spring break service industry. The media, and town councils/special committees/law enforcement/select residents who are pissed off will be a big thing they use to their advantage to cook up the appearance of the area becoming a hotbed for criminal activity and heinous crimes with an entire local area being outraged even when really they aren't much concerned as long as theres no chaos, or shootings, and anyone that disturbs the peace be arrested. Which news medias wmbb, and mypanhandlenews are just a couple of the outlets that an along with "freedom loving", fake conservative fox news that completely degraded an entire city's reputation & visitors in PCB which I see the same patterns happening with in nearby holmes county from everything to the news media (except fox). the local government, and the law enforcements standpoint. Take notes from the PCB situation (2014 to present) because it is looking they are going to use the media and local governments to their best advantage to slander the name of Sol fest and it's patrons to the point it's driven out, & being in touch with victim businesses and promoters of the PCB targeting may take you a long way. (Bar industry staff, scooter rental places that were shut down, promoters, former club la Vela staff). The city council in PCB, the mayor at the time, and select locals to persuade the public that there was complete outrage were the first to blame other than the actual people themselves who deserved to be in jail anyways for committing these crimes out there that the incidents were used to the citys advantage. They banned alcohol on the beach, have had law enforcement from 5+ jurisdictions flood the area years after 2015 (the year they decided to go to bat against the sb industry after slandering it on national news the year before). Cut off alcohol sales and club permits to operate after 2 am, eliminate rentals of moped scooters, target promoters themselves like the Panamaniac card company, and arrest known promoters on spot for petty violations, and a lot more. Just a few examples along with refusing to renew the permits for club la Vela to become operational again after hurricane Michael. Good luck and give them a run for their $$. They should not be allowed to dictate who can and can't have entertainment events and which crowd gets to and doesn't get to do business there, and there are ignorant ) bad people in every crowd regardless of what it's based on, and as long as these people are being rightfully arrested when making stupid actions there's no reason to be targeting the entire event itself. Unfortunately if sol fest continues throughout a large increase of law enforcement will more than likely be a thing except the fact the owners of vortex can probably take a stance on limiting that since the propertycis privately owned if I'm not mistaken.

the cops took her, the 13 yro walked to his uncles, and the 17 yro was at his cousins till the next day.
we took them to our rented house in the next county. previous tenants tore down all the doors, left holes in the walls, took off some outlet covers? working with landlord to fix but between our jobs and his jobs its a long term project.
we are prepared to take them long term if needed (mom arrested over the weekend, no updates besides what they got her for) since uncle couldnt help much beyond feeding 13yro and taking him to his brother. they have a full house rn so they couldnt keep him for long, and the moms brother has been MIA for months.
at this point we dgaf about mom, i just wanna know what we need to get custody of it comes to that besides a less trappy house. we both are employed and had already planned to take the 17yro for the summer so he could find a summer job. were working on getting my boyfriends insurance back so were going to social services this week anyways. gonns try again for food stamps but their mom has the 17 and 13 yro claimed on her EBT and we dont have custody so idk what we can do w that?
mom also wasnt happy when she called and we told her we were taking the boys but we cant find any other family to take them (17 yro doesnt know his dad, 13yros dad is an older man who walked out and has cancer. no ones heard from him) so it really is just us that could take them. the only other person we know we didnt try bc its their retiree great aunt who also has cancer.
do we need to do anything to mitigate possible legal issues on our side or should we just take them to social services with us?
