What is the name of your state? New Mexico
in october of '02 my boss laid me off but had me go do some private work for a couple to help them learn how to use their computer and that she would rehire me in the summer. at first i said no, but my boss made it sound like that it was the only way she would rehire me. i went to work for these people and intended to quit in one week because it was free work and i wasnt getting paid. after the week was up i kept getting notes from the office at school from the couple asking me to come over. i didnt want to upset my boss so reluctantly i did. this went on untill febuary. the couple had bought a video camera some years ago and asked if i could take it, learn how to use it and teach them, again i didnt want to upset my boss so i did, that night i had to go back to the school for drama practice and when i went to my car i found that things had been moved around and some cds various things and the camera had been stolen i immediatly made a police report and contacted the couple to tell them what happened. i did just about everything i could to find the missing camera (posters, reward offered, filed on schools and my moms insurance) but to no avail. after i informed the couple that my efforts had failed they threatened to sue. I was only 17 at the time. after being harrased by them which included more notes at school (the wife even pulled me out of class to yell at me) calls to my mother where they were so mean they brought her to tears. they offered me to work out the price of the camera. feeling that all that would happen was more abuse i declined. then i got my summons less than a month later.
I feel like ive been bulied into the whole situation. the reason that i couldnt afford to pay them back was because i make no money and my mom has a hard enough time paying the bills already. im just 18 and i need some help. i go to court on halloween.
