Boss Accused Me of Faking That I Have a Son & Got Me Arrested after I Asked For a Week off to Care For My Sick Kid

 “The Week That Changed Everything”

I just wanted a week off to care for my sick son. His fever wouldn’t break, and I needed to be there. But when I asked my boss, Mr. Hayes, he accused me of faking it. “You’ve never mentioned a son before,” he said, dismissing my request.

Before I knew it, HR was involved, and I was escorted out, with accusations of faking my child’s existence. They even had me arrested.

Hours later, after providing proof of my son’s illness, the charges were dropped, and I was released. But the damage was done. I quit the company, realizing that no job was worth the betrayal I felt.

That night, I held my son close, knowing I’d never let anyone question my love for him again.
