just before christmas i had a fight with two of my at the time best friends my mum was there and everything one of my friends called my6 month pregnant mum a f*****n fat mole and i whent off my head at her like any daughter would about 3 days after that we came back from our x-mas holidays to find a notice in our letter box asking either me or my mum to ring the police station. the next day my mum rang the police and a cop came to talk to us the bitches had put out a report on me saying that i said i was going to kill them and i was going to stab them which i DID NOT say the cops let it be and said that she is just trying to get attention. now they have gone around telling other people that my mum said she was going to stab them, but she told the police it was me so they are lying to everyone trying to press charges on me so i really need some advice on what to do here please
OneMan answered Saturday January 3 2004, 12:36 pm: well, the cops are going to let it be, so I would suggest that you do the same. Even if you DID say it, there's nothing really that the cops can do until you make an ATTEMPT. So, consider those two no longer on your list of friends, move on, and after awhile, their attempts to get attention and the lies will move on, too. Juding by your verbage, I would guess you to be in England, maybe around the Midlands area. It has nothing to do with your question, I just thought I'd ask. Anyway, let it...and THEM go.

Lizzy answered Tuesday December 30 2003, 1:20 pm: If you did not say anything, the best you have is their word against yours. Go around telling your neighbors that you are sorry for your friends actions but it is not true or just try your best to pretend it never happened. This is probably not going to go to court because you are probably just a teen, right, so it'll probably get to a counseler or something, just tell the truth, sooner or later the lyers will crack, what goes around comes around, remember that.
Good Luck

If you even must, take a lie detector test or have your so called "Friends" take one and that'll prove that you're innocent. If that's the way your "friends" treat you then ditch them, get new friends that won't press false charges against you. Tell their parents what they did, or actually stab them(I'M KIDDING! lol).

Girlwithamansname answered Tuesday December 30 2003, 9:17 am: They don't have any proof that you said it so you shouldn't worry too much. Are you in the USA or Britain or where? The police have already said that they're not going to follow through so you mainly need to think about how it would affect your reputation.Is it likely enough that people would believe it of you?
I think the best advice I can give is to talk to a lawyer if you're worried about the legal repercussions and to ignore people who side with you two ex-friends. Oh, and don't try to be friends with them.
What those two are doing is slander and defamation of character so you could threaten them with a court charge.
