Hello ABAGA and Everyone
I believe you are right about contacting an attorney. Eventually, we probably will hire an attorney. Before that point, I want to have as many facts as possible by utilizing assistance from sources and agencies to clarify and prove what happened.
Just the fact that the police and sheriff's depts. refuse to let my son file a complaint seems so fishy, but that both depts. deny any involvement is tremendously suspicious to me. A simple apology that horrible night would have been sufficient - we are not sue-happy people. But, I am not afraid to fight for the truth.
I appreciate your input about my son doing the investigating. I help my son because I want to and I am able. It is a privilege to be a parent.
My son worked in Utah and Nevada last week. He's on the road because he is a truck driver. My son took three days off work (without pay) to personally go to the police dept. and county sheriff's dept. and was told he could not file complaints.
Why should I not save my son time, energy, and stress, especially when I want to help, am capable, and doesn't even cost me anything? My son works very hard and deserves the help. Not that this is my motive, but perhaps my son will do me a favor someday when I am in need. I believe family ties are important.
ABAGA, regardless of our differences of opinions, I firmly believe that my son would hit the same dead-ends as I hit because the police and sheriffs depts. are both lying - there is a cover-up. If I thought my son could be more effective, he could probably make some of the calls himself on his cell from the truck. However, when we are being told lies, we have to work to uncover the truth. I have time and energy and want the truth to be revealed.
ABAGA, if you have more input, I would like to hear from you. I am open to suggestions.
