Drugs, threats, identity theft, and a man who moved in uninvited. Her story sounds like a movie—but this terrifying tale is all too real.
A desperate woman turned to deputies with an explosive claim: she was forced to make false statements—under threat of losing her children. But that was just the beginning.
What unfolded was a chaotic tangle of abuse, coercion, stolen identity, and fear, all allegedly happening while she tried to care for others as a home health worker.
🗣️ According to the woman’s statement:
While working in a client’s home, she encountered illegal substances and claims she was coerced into staying silent—or risk losing her kids.
She says a man moved into her home without consent, abused her physically, and forced drugs on her.
She reported a July 17 assault, which involved law enforcement, claiming the incident included rape and violence inside her own home.
But the horror didn’t end there.
🕵️♀️ The woman told deputies another individual—a woman—stole her identity, used it for employment and communication, and stalked her to a shelter, demanding they live together.
She says this woman has used threats and harassment to control her movements and isolate her from her children.
📲 She also reported that her social media accounts were hacked, her belongings were stolen, and both the man and woman involved have cut off her contact with her children, despite her active protection order against her husband.
💔 She told investigators she’s been living in constant fear, afraid to speak out until now.
This case was reported in Lawrence County, and though no arrests have been made yet, an investigation is underway. Deputies provided her with information on support services and next steps.
⚠️ If you or someone you know is trapped in a situation involving coercion, abuse, or identity theft—don’t wait. Here’s what to do:
🚨 1. Call law enforcement immediately
Report any threats, physical abuse, or illegal activity—especially if children are involved.
🛑 2. Document everything
Save texts, photos, emails, and anything that could support your claims. This evidence is critical.
🧾 3. File for a protection order
This legal tool can help keep abusers away and document a history of harassment.
🧠 4. Get help from local advocates
Contact a domestic violence shelter or legal aid service. Many have emergency housing, counseling, and legal support available 24/7.
👶 5. Protect your kids and identity
Notify schools and caregivers about custody concerns, and take steps to secure your identity—such as freezing your credit and changing passwords.
If something feels wrong, it probably is. Whether it’s threats, manipulation, or fear of losing your kids—you don’t have to go through it alone. Call. Report. Get help.
