Arrested For Crime I Didn't Commit - GBH W/ Intent!
I recently moved up to my girlfriends after a few months of travelling to an from London (she lives in Newcastle) and thought that everything in my life was going to plan. I had a job interview this Tuesday and was looking forward to settling down with the woman I intended to marry and live with for the rest of my life.
She has 3 children, with whom I spent most of my time with when she was at work. I took them to and from school, fed them, cared for them, looked after them when they were poorly, played with them and watched cartoons / DVD's with.
In the last few weeks, her only son has been in the wars recently. He came home from school with a black eye after another boy poked him in it. An accident while sledging (during the heavy snow we got) whereupon another young lad crashed into him leaving him with another black eye which was witnessed by all the family.
Another incident when he decided to climb the fence in the garden to see what a neighbour was doing and unfortunately fell between the fence and trampoline leaving more brusing on his face and testicles. This was colloborated by his 2 sisters who told their mum.
On Wednesday last week, he took a tumble down the stairs while I was in me and my partners bedroom making the bed. After hearing the noise I ran out to find him at the bottom of the stairs with what looked like a broken arm. I called an ambulance and then my partner and she left work to meet us at hospital.
A few hours later social services and the police turn up, and hours later I was led from the waiting room (from which I had been waiting on my own for 4 hours) outside by 2 policemen and arrested for GBH with intent (s18).
I was kept in overnight and questioned twice with a duty solicitor present and remained calm during most of it, breaking down into tears every now and again when I was accused of child abuse.

Ctd...
After I was bailed, I turned my mobile back on to find a text message from my partner stating that she knows I haven't done anything, and it's just procedure. She loves me very much and the lad was asking after me. She gave me her dad's house number to call to get picked up. Before I could do that, I was escorted back to the house to pick up some belongings and told not to return or I'll be arrested again for interfering with their investigation. I was now homeless with no way to get home.
I was outside the closed train station for several hours before it reopened, and arrived in London with an added �133 fine for no ticket.
Since I've came back I've been blocked on Facebook and elsewhere and when I tried to contact her, it gets ignored. I called her mum who let rip down the phone saying she knows that I've had something to do with it.
Now the lad already gave a statement before I was arrested saying he fell down the stairs, and now this has happened. She knows I would NEVER harm her or her babies, I love them more than life itself. They're my world.
I feel so helpless and lonely I've thought about just ending it all - the pain is just too much.
I don't know what to do apart from see a solicitor tomorrow but do I have a leg to stand on as I don't want to get taken to court for something I haven't done - even if the lad has changed his story after being fed information from the police about me.
I have NEVER been arrested, cautioned or charged with anything before. My record is spotless.

Because there are too many children, (although one is too many) being abused, neglected, etc, the authorities take absolutely no chances these days. And rightly so. Who can blame them?
Child abusers are manipulative, lying, evasive, emotionally blackmailing, non-humans who bully the ones they abuse, as well as the rest of the family members to not tell anyone what's happening to them. So it can be very hard for the authorities to find out the truth.
I'm not going to comment on your situation. I don't know the authorities version, or the boys version or anyone else's version. Only yours.
If you are innocent, this whole "thing" will undoubtedly be an awful thing to have happened to you & yours.
But suffice to say, you cannot blame the authorities for erring on the side of caution.

Well I still haven't heard anything. I'm not due to return to the police station (answering my bail) until the end of next month.
Solicitors can't really give much advice as I haven't been charged, but this whole situation is making me depressed.
I haven't heard from the other half for a week now, and it's literally destroying me. I'm shutting myself away and just breaking down every couple of hours. I have never felt like this before, and even my parents (who I'm staying with at the moment) have admitted they've never seen me cry before... until recently.
My confidence is at an all time low, and I'm not eating / sleeping.
I've decided to write her a letter tonight, as it can't really be seen as harrassment but I pray each day she calls me but she doesn't.
Legally - I don't know what to do, and solicitors haven't been much help either. The distance is also another factor as they're not willing to travel so far.

Well that's either one of 3 reasons.
1. The police have told her not to contact me (but there's obviously ways and means around that if she really wanted to.
2. Family pressure. As soon as I was back in London, and found out I was deleted from Facebook etc... I called but only managed to speak to her mum for about a minute who was angry with me, whereas before she was fine and even said she knew I didn't do anything.
3. She really does believe I had something to do with it. This is the one that hurts so much, thinking that she thinks this way. The amount of times we laid in bed together and I told her how much I loved her and the children, she should know that I'd have done anything in the world for any of them.
I've put all that in the letter last night and posted it in the early hours last night. I'm hoping she gets it by the weekend but I've got to play the waiting game at the moment all over again =[
