I am CP of 12 yo.
BM has visitation. She does the trasportations but we meet at nutral location. BM called the house to say she is waiting for us to bring son. SM tells her that son is not going there this weekend (another story in itself), and BM starts yelling that "I AM going to get my son!"
Minutes later BM is at our house. SM is there alone, calls police for assistance, does not go to door or answer phone. BM finally goes away. SM calls police to say its OK, no need to come.
An hour later SM get's in car to leave and finds that both back tires are flat. They have been cut. Police come out and do a report.
SM had BM arrested and court date has been set.
The policeman who came out for the report basically told us, yeah of course she did it, but no way you can win in court if no one saw it. The clerk who did the arrest warrant even tried to talk us out of it for the same reason. She even added that when BM is found not guilty, she can file charges against US for false arrest!
A side note...this is not the first incident we've had. BM was arrested in 2003 for disorderly conduct against us, and was given a no-contact order for 6 months.
Does anyone have suggestions on what would give us better chances in court?
It is true that no-one saw her, and she is claiming that her sister was with her and is her witness. On the phone, she actually laughed and said there is nothing we can do because no one saw her do it, and so we can't prove it was her!
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
