My son’s mother is a sociopath.
Here’s the story;
My son, during his junior year in high school, enlisted in the Army National Guard. During the summer break between his junior and senior year, he went off to basic training at Fort Knox in Kentucky (his first time away from home). Before leaving, he set up a savings account so that the military could wire him his pay via direct deposit.
While he was at basic, his mother called his bank and reported his ATM card lost, and requested that a new one be sent to her address. The card came about 10 days later, followed by the new PIN number in a separate mailing.
She then proceeded to steal every last dime of his military pay!! I’m talking about all of it…his basic training pay, his sign-on bonus… everything!
When he came home and discovered all his money gone (thousands of dollars), she suggested that it was either a bank mix-up, or a military mix-up. She sat back and allowed him to chase this lie for months, getting many people at the bank and the military involved in trying to track down his money. Naturally, they did not find any accounting errors.
It gets worse…
I suggest that he report it as a theft to the police (I suspect her, but don’t want to make any accusations about his mother for his sake). When he brings the forms home and asks his mother to help him fill them out, she gets scared and confesses. He is blown away!
She promises to pay him back, and writes him a couple of checks for about half the amount. He deposits them, then withdraws the cash immediately because he doesn’t trust her now.
She stops payment on the checks!!!
Now my son, 18 years old and just getting started, owes his bank several thousand dollars!
He is, understandably, furious, and expresses as much. She calls the police and tells them that he’s lost his mind…that she needs to be protected from him. He almost gets arrested!
Then she kicks him out of her house…throws all his stuff out into the driveway.
I want to **** this bitch!!
The police say that he cannot press charges because he has already accepted repayment terms. Unbelievable.
Everyone I’ve talked to, police included, agree that he has been greatly wronged. The psychological effects alone are devastating. But the kid cannot get any vindication…he’s got no one on his side, and that makes me so fucking angry.
Ironically, this bitch currently works as a home health aid (after eight years on welfare), and is in charge of the financial matters of several seniors who use her agency. One of them has already reported shortages in his bank account. She was investigated, but insisted that this particular senior had Alzheimer’s…and they believed her!!! She got away with that one too.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to see this nut get what she deserves. Forgive me, but I can honestly say that I would rejoice in her demise. I mean, it’s clear that I can’t stand her, but my son did nothing to deserve what she did to him.
Let the lawyer see what can be done about getting his money back etc. Good luck.
