THE
LETTER
Once I had given my word that I would have no contact with my kids for the rest of the weekend, I just started driving.
For hours.
Driving and thinking,
trying to solve a problem—any of the problems.
I texted a handful of staff trying to get Officer Sabattis’ number.
Okay. More than a handful.
But I was driving around with who knows what in the bag I’d grabbed when I left Pontoon’s house earlier. It was already borderline. And now that CPS was involved, I couldn’t risk anything that could be twisted into “evidence” of something I didn’t do.
Sabattis felt like the safest option. We’d talked before about testing items. If I needed to turn something over to someone, he was the person I trusted not to make it worse.
Thank God I never got his number.
At the time, I was frustrated—because it felt like one more dead end in a week made entirely of dead ends. But knowing what I know now…
Honestly, I don’t even have a better word for it than this: relief.
I looked down at my phone and—
AH!
Williams suddenly texts me out of nowhere.
The text is so thinly veiled, the pretentiousness was practically showing.
its borderline immodest
It might as well have been a straight up threat to back off and stay away.
-
You know, I keep looking at that text exchange and I can’t ignore the feeling of a good idea beginning to grow. Because… that thinly veiled text is just so similar to a text that was routed through the shadow carrier, Bandwith, which hosts a number of texting/VoIP-based apps and likely a came from a randomly generated number so that the person could threaten me and my family in secret like a coward. I am not saying who it was. I am saying I recieved the text less than two hours after the soft launch of this site in December and the sender demanded I take down the recordings in THE REPORT (the only Chapter published at the time...) and that the text message bears some resemblance to the one above. I am also saying that there are only two people’s voices captured in the recordings posted in THE REPORT. One of them is me and I am almost certain I did not use a random phone number generator to threaten me and my family over taking the recordings down…
-
TEXT THREAT
Stef texts read: “It’s so strange the stuff at the school”
“Schultz” — “Why haven’t you heard anything”
That’s one of only a few questions left that I can’t make sense of. So for real though… why hadn’t I heard from Dr. Schultz? Or anyone On Thursday night, after NPD left our porch at 11PM, I texted a couple of administrators about the false CPS call.
I texted both of the Doctors hoping they might help diagnose the problem.
FFS that’s bad.
Somebody call Stef and tell her to stop me.
Dr. Schultz got back to me right away with
silence.
(At the time, I thought maybe it was due to the investigation, some sort of protocol or whatever)
That seems unlikely now. I still haven’t heard anything from Dr. Schultz since she asked for my room number…
Damn. Dr. Jones blocked my number mid-thread… That’s an ice cold response to me
TRYING TO TELL HER SOMEONE CALLED CPS TO TRY TO DO US HARM
These streets is rough
It made less sense than Dr. Schultz’s response.
Dr. Jones has gone out of her way on multiple occasions to help us advocate for our three kids in the academic setting…
in a different school district even.
This is a letter I wrote her once thanking her.
I thought if I could still trust any administrator at the school, it would be her.
If nothing else, she would for sure care that someone tried to use my kids as collateral …right?
Nope.
Wrong again,
but look,
you know,
I’ve been wrong before…
but it’s usually not so damn often.
Not like people who enjoy Catcher in the Rye or The Beatles or pineapple on pizza
…those people are always wrong.
Not a word.
Dr. Jones or Turk or whatever blocked me mid-thread
and all I heard back from her was:
silence.
(although… Since then Dr. Jones/Turk has ⌁ emailed HR trying to permanently ban me from the building ⌁ caused actual panic among staff by treating me like I was at large and dangerous ⌁ testified against lied under oath about me in a school district hearing ⌁ and was (is?) planning to testify against me to help weaponize a private civil dispute…)
⌁
I NEED A TRANSITION
and an excuse to share something properly funny.
My good friend Dan sent me a voice message the other night:
-
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT - 05/16
THEN HE SENT ME THIS:
“Beautiful picture of you.”
“What that [CPS worker] sees”
⌁
Speaking of transitions…
This may surprise you but I’m shockingly adept in moments of crisis.
It’s really the only time my brain works linearly. It’s like everything snaps into focus and I can quickly evaluate and prioritize action steps.
So when the ground started shifting and everything was converging at once
I played it safe.
I left voluntarily.
I took off work
I didn’t rush to try and fix things
I spoke less, thought more
Not because of the story people were telling—
but because I had started to see what the story was becoming.
School.
Police.
CPS.
HR.
All of it converging at once.
Keep priorities straight. Triage one moment at a time.
Stef.
Shield the kids.
Stef stays front of mind, always.
Cooperate (or appear to)
Stef is how you orient yourself.
Stay calm, think things through.
Everything together with Stef.
NOTICE DETAILS, PAY ATTENTION.
Stef understands before you finish explaining.
Focus, make one decision at a time.
Do nothing apart from Stef.
Document everything.
Stef.
We hired two lawyers
on the same day.
I’ve never even hired one!
A Family-Law attorney for the CPS track
(because a five‑day hearing was already on the horizon).
&
Employment counsel for the situation at the school
(because what started as a safety report was being reframed as something else entirely).
The employment lawyer
—based on what we knew then—
gave me the instruction Stef and I already felt in our bones was the right call: “Don’t go back on Monday.”
Seriously though, Stef and I both independently shared that we just had the feeling if I went to work, I’d leave in handcuffs
So I didn’t.
I submitted sub plans.
Completed requisite teacher duties.
Waited for someone—anyone—to call.
Nothing.
Just more…
silence.
By Monday morning, the story had stopped moving through people and started moving through documents.
Monday, May 19, 2025
It didn’t arrive like a letter.
It arrived the way consequences arrive now:
“please see the attached PDF”
Inside a polite email with a clean subject line.
TIMELINE SO FAR ⌁ THROUGH THE HR LETTER
A reader orientation checkpoint — and the hinge where a student-safety report becomes a “fitness” narrative.
-
REPORTING
I report a student-safety concern inside the building.
At this point, the story is still (in my mind) a workplace safety issue: “identify risk → mitigate → document.”
-
REPORTING
I try to keep the concern in the proper channel — and then I’m out.
I leave campus and do not return. I’m trying to avoid inflaming anything while still pushing the concern to be treated as real.
-
ESCALATION RETALIATION HINGE
I report outside the building: DSSS / School Safety.
This is the moment the “official” system gets pulled in — and it’s also where the tone of the narrative begins to shift.
-
RESPONSE PAPERWORK
The internal narrative hardens and begins traveling across systems.
School-side messages and forwards begin; that night, CPS initiates a welfare-check pathway that carries highly specific descriptors.
-
ESCALATION
Police arrive at my home off a CPS-initiated call for service.
This is where the story stops being “about my classroom” and becomes “about my family.”
-
ESCALATION RESPONSE
CPS interviews my kids at school, then calls for police assistance for a home visit.
The sequence matters: school → children → police “assist” → doorstep. The momentum is already rolling before anyone calls us.
-
ESCALATION
Second CPS visit + third police contact in roughly 36 hours.
The “safety plan” posture functions like leverage: agree now, or the system escalates for you.
-
PAPERWORK RESPONSE
HR issues the Fitness-for-Duty letter.
This is the pivot from “what people said” into an official document that treats a safety report like a diagnosis.
-
PAPERWORK
HR’s follow-up responses reveal the “one-source” problem.
By this point, the question isn’t whether the story is dramatic — it’s whether the inputs were ever independently verified.
THE RETALIATION HINGE (IN PLAIN ENGLISH)
Based on the record trail and the published chapters so far, the most consequential “actions” do not appear until after I escalated the concern to DSSS / School Safety.
- Before DSSS: I report a student-safety concern inside the building.
- After DSSS: the system activates — internal forwards, police/CPS contact, and HR “fitness” paperwork.
- The argument: the “mental fitness” frame shows up after escalation, not before.
Reader note: This timeline is an orientation tool — it’s here to show sequence and causality, not to ask you to “trust me.” The receipts are below.
When I opened the email on my phone,
I was
not at home.
not with Stef.
not with my kids.
not even in my own car.
I was parked downtown,
behind Slover Library,
near where they knocked that statue over
in between Waterside and the World Trade Center
just west of Seldon Market
near the front doors of The Main
before you get to that awesome old bank building
like, if you pretend you’re standing dead center
under the bow of the USS Wisconsin with your back to the ship and look straight across, that’s Plume st.
I was in between there and town point park
You know what I’m talking about
I was parked right off of Main St. facing west
The sun was right in my eyes when I read the subject line.
CONFIDENTIAL
“RE: Fitness to Perform the Essential Functions of Your Position - Teacher”
Monday, May 19, 2025
It didn’t arrive like a letter.
It arrived the way consequences arrive now:
“please see the attached PDF”
Inside a polite email with a clean subject line.
Here, I’ll show you.
BUT FIRST
Not head first
If I am going to share
the document that functionally ended my career
with the entire internet,
out in front of God and everybody,
I might as well have a little fun.
And since I’m still (sort of) a teacher
I’m going to give you a quiz,
sort of
Ok, chill out.
It’s open notes.
and FFS please spare me the story of your reoccurring bad dream about the time you forgot to study once…
This is what I used to tell students before every test or quiz:
YO!
Listen up
Eyes up here
Fellas in the corner, can you stop shadow boxing while I spit straight fire rn?
Alright people remember:
in middle school we have what’s called a test-taking environment. That means you are quiet and focused. And when you finish, you stay quiet so others can focus.
IF
You bomb the quiz, it’s fine.
I mean it’s not great
but it happens.
If you don’t like your grade, come talk to me about it. Sit in the chair by my desk over there and if you’re willing to put the work in, I promise I’ll be willing work something out.
BUT IF YOU CHEAT,
I WILL WRECK YOUR SHOP.
I promise I will catch you and I’ll make sure your on punishment for like fifty-leven weeks. A quiz grade is not worth compromising the person you are becoming.
ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT?
Alright,
on your markers,
get crayons,
colored pencils!
(One time I had a student get up to go get school supplies from the back after I said that. Seriously. He and I laughed so hard about it any time we had a test or a quiz for like a month afterwards.)

How an institution writes a story the way they want it written
The letter does three things at once:
It freezes a narrative.
(This is what happened.)It medicalizes my reporting.
(This is about your mental fitness.)It weaponizes uncertainty.
(We’ve heard “concerning things,” now you have to prove you’re safe.)
Here’s what I didn’t understand yet—what I couldn’t fully understand yet—while reading that letter from a phone screen, parked downtown in a borrowed car:
The May 19 Fitness‑for‑Duty letter was a final draft,
a version of a story something that had already been
written,
revised,
forwarded,
and organized .
Even though the false narrative shows up in different places—
School Security.
Employee Relations.
Human Resources. CPD. CPS. NPD. NDHS.
It all flows from a single narrative source:
Williams.
That’s what the records show.
These narrative accounts should emerge independently, but they all sound the same. Every account of my behavior mentions the same absurd details phrased in the same bizarre ways. Statistically, that’s just not possible. And besides, the vast majority of things mentioned in the letter are twisted versions of things I only said to Williams… There’s no one else who could possibly have known about the items I took to my car or that I mentioned anything about glue sticks / pencils / etc.
Only Williams.
No one called me to ask what happened or for my side of the story.
So obviously in the HR Letter, they are descibing me as crazy. And yes all the stuff in that letter is absurd. Hell, even if they really did think I was having a mental breakdown, ain’t nobody gonna call and ask how I’m doing?
AND WHAT DOES ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH MY F*CKING KIDS?
I never received even a phone call from ANYONE this entire time.
MAY - NOVEMBER
No one even spoke to me. I had to get fired and appeal the decision before anyone at HR was forced to sit in a room with me to talk.
Although, the incentive structure is pretty smashed once the other person is fired…
No one would even meet with me. You know the sick part about only communicating via email and the postal service?
I still only ever heard
silence.
Like I’m not a damn human being with a perspective and a memory or who might be able to offer some clarity if I was permitted to explain or communicate anything—
Instead, I’ve been typecast as a character in a file.
Erratic.
Rambling.
Pacing.
Manic.
Convinced.
It was a list of behaviors you can administratively process.
And once the letter exists, it doesn’t matter what I say happened.
Because now the system has a document that looks like certainty.
A letter like that doesn’t just describe events.
It creates them.
It doesn’t ask questions.
It doesn’t invite clarification.
It tells you what the system has decided your behavior means
…but they were never interested in any of that to begin with, it felt like the outcome was already determined
SO,
WHY?
RETALIATION TIMELINE ⌁ THE ACTIVATION SEQUENCE (POST‑DSSS)
This mini‑timeline isolates what happens after I escalate the concern outside the building to DSSS / School Safety. The argument is about sequence: escalation first, then cross‑system action.
-
ESCALATION POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
I escalate the concern to DSSS / School Safety.
This is the hinge: once I escalate outside the building, the system begins to move against me.
-
ADMIN / HR POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
The “descriptor bundle” gets written down (SRO → Principal).
Unusually specific claims appear in writing and become reusable across systems (Takis / “acting crazy” / pacing / residue kits).
-
ADMIN / HR POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
Williams forwards the statement into HR and safety leadership.
The narrative formally enters the HR lane — no longer “mitigate a student risk,” but “manage an employee risk.”
-
POLICE ADMIN / HR
A report number becomes the credibility “anchor.”
A report number functions like an authority stamp: it makes the story sound pre‑verified before anyone independently checks it.
-
ADMIN / HR POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
HR begins the “fitness” posture — after escalation.
This is the point where the story is treated as a personnel emergency: the “mental fitness” narrative begins here — after I escalated.
-
CPS POLICE POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
CPS calls 911 for a welfare check; police arrive late at night.
The first welfare check happens after the School Safety escalation — not before it.
-
CPS POLICE POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
CPS interviews my kids at school, then calls dispatch for police assistance for a home visit.
The “manic / foster parent” framing is repeated again, now as justification for coordinated escalation.
-
CPS POLICE
Second CPS visit + additional police contact; “safety plan” pressure increases.
The situation moves from “contact” to leverage: agree now, or escalation happens to you.
-
ADMIN / HR POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
HR issues the Fitness‑for‑Duty letter.
The narrative becomes an official artifact — and once it’s in writing, it starts determining reality instead of reflecting it.
-
ADMIN / HR POST‑DSSS ACTIVATION
HR later ties “official action” back to my complaint to School Safety.
In other words: the record itself connects the K‑9 request to my escalation — which means the system’s “action” is triggered by the report, not by a pre‑existing concern about me.
THE LINE THAT COLLAPSES THE TIMELINE INTO ONE FACT
“The K‑9 request came from the office of School Safety and was a result of your complaint.”
Sources reflected in this sequence include: CPS0024.pdf (SRO → Williams → HR forward), the CPS→911 transcript (AUDIO - TRANSCRIPTION - 911 CALL_ADMIN FALSE REPORT.pdf), NPD event report (P25051500653.pdf), the CPS “police assist” call transcript (05-16-25 @ 1242 P25051600322 ECCPH08.pdf), and HR correspondence (Copy of Email Thread - Chesapeake Public Schools HR Re Employment Status.pdf). Full documents appear in RECEIPTS.
This is the pivot point.
By May 19, the story in the letter isn’t just “concerns were raised.”
It’s a set of claims that can be tested.
And when you test them against what’s preserved — audio and texts — the storyline starts to fail in the simplest way possible:
it doesn’t match the record.
In the records produced so far, the first time‑stamped escalation in this chain is my report to DSSS / the CPS Report Line, early AM on May 15—and only after that escalation does the paper trail suddenly begin describing me as unstable or impaired.
In my recorded meeting with Principal Deirdre Williams, her posture is serious and procedural—she tells me to “start from the beginning” and acknowledges that “something has been off in that classroom,” not that I’m “erratic” or incapable of explaining myself.
Then, three days later later on May 15, new written narratives appear:
⌁ an email from SRO Jeremy Sabattis describes me as “erratic” and pacing
⌁ an Employee Relations email from Laurie Edgar (written that afternoon) characterizes my explanations as “rambling” and “unable to clearly articulate”—language that later gets recycled and formalized in the May 19 Fitness‑for‑Duty letter.
The timing matters because it means the “erratic / mental‑fitness” framing does not appear in writing until after I escalated beyond the building to DSSS;
Inference: the narrative shift was introduced as retaliation for escalating.
-
THE SRO EMAIL
SOURCE #1
THE SRO EMAIL
And then I hit the part that still feels surreal.
Because behind HR escalation, behind letterhead, behind official tone—
there’s an earlier document that reads like the first rough sketch of the story:
An email from the SRO.
The shock isn’t just the content.
It’s that it exists at all.
Because I hadn’t seen Officer Sabattis since early May.
And yet here was an email describing my behavior—pacing, “erratic” movements, “statements”—as if someone had been watching me all week with a clipboard.
The details are specific and weird in the way that makes a story stick:
Takis.
Drink packets.
Amazon kits.
The email preserves those bizarre details as if they’re evidence—and frames me as the unstable component.And then the part that matters most:
This email doesn’t become a “case” until it gets moved.
Williams moves it.
Williams forwards it up the chain—into district inboxes—into the part of the system where a message becomes a file.
That forward is where the narrative gains weight.
Not because anything new is proven.
But because it reaches the right audience.
-
THE EDGAR EMAILS
SOURCE #2
THE EDGAR EMAILS
Behind the letter, I find HR machinery already in motion.
Not a meeting.
Not a conversation.
Not an attempt to clear up confusion.
A summary.
A management escalation.
A version of me that can be forwarded without me.
Employee Relations:
Ms. Laurie Edgar.
When I read her emails after reading the letter, I recognize what they are immediately:
Absolutely batshit nuts.
But they are not just full of false “information,” they provide language that already starts to do the work the letter will later finish.
When you’re living through it, you don’t experience those phrases as “absurd” at first.
It felt straight up dangerous.
Because I know how institutions react to words like that
They don’t ask whether it’s real.
They ask what they’re allowed to do next.
And then comes the follow-up email—the update—where the stakes change.
Because that’s where the story crosses from workplace to home.
Ms. Edgar references Williams not as background, but as the active driver of escalation:
“Dee is contacting Norfolk CPS…”
That line is a bridge.
Not from “workplace concern” to “investigation.”
From school administration to my front door.
And it matters that it’s written as something Williams is doing, not something CPS discovered independently.
Because by then, I was already living the consequence of what happens when systems crash into a home with a false narrative and too much unchecked power
You don’t get due process first.
You get visited first.
And then you spend months proving you’re not the version of yourself that got forwarded.
This is what’s been so damn difficult to explain.
The
single
source
problem
When you see the same narrative in multiple documents, it feels like corroboration.
It feels like, well, surely if all these different people are saying it, it must be true.
But for me, the reality was much simpler—and much more dangerous:
A single upstream story gets routed through a single upstream source.
It gets repeated with minor edits and new adjectives.
It gets “supported” by references to other documents that came from the same pipeline.
It became a loop.
And that’s why the May 19 letter matters.
Not because it’s the first time the story is told.
Because it’s the first time the story becomes official.
It takes the earlier emails—the SRO language, the HR escalation, the forwarded summaries—
and converts them into a weapon that looks like procedure.
And I read it while I was still living in voluntary separation, still “on the run” in the uncinematic way that phrase means in real life:
Hotel rooms.
Parking lots.
Borrowed vehicles.
EVERYTHING WAS JUST A CONFUSING MESS AND UNCERTAIN.
That’s why the letter read like a warning.
A document that didn’t just describe me
it defined me and I didn’t get a damn say otherwise.
The part that matters isn’t just how the story traveled.
It’s what the story says.
Because once the Fitness‑for‑Duty letter exists, the argument is no longer “did I misunderstand you?”
It’s not difficult at all to disprove so much of the false narrative about me, I just was never given the chance.
I insisted that ALL of my students in ALL of my classes were in a Honduras “drug ring” and complained about a “cocaine ring” in my classroom.
- THE EDGAR EMAILS
The Edgar email treats this statement like an established premise:
“nothing was being done about the cocaine ring in his classrooms…”
“a Honduras drug ring…”
That’s the storyline as it’s written. It ends up all over the place… On my front porch, for example, when Officer Hunter repeats the narrative from dispatch.
But I recorded the meeting so…
You can just listen.
Williams is the one who introduces the “ring” framing as something she’s heard from other administrators.
And I literally say it would be ludicrous to think that.
I am also literally saying right now that no one has ever used the phrase “cocaine ring”
All of the phrases and repeated descriptors are just so damn akward. None of the words fit together.
I’d like to think the perpetuity of my vast lexicon alone ought to be sufficient exculpatory evidence for my vindication
I “accused students of cocaine”
- THE EDGAR EMAILS
First of all, I don’t think that’s even a sentence…
You can’t accuse someone of a noun…
This is one of the most consequential distortions in this fictional account about me — And, I mean, we’ve already been here
(see CHAPTER 1 - THE REPORT)
but its still kind of astounding to me that she tries this one.
So we already know, but whenever Williams says, I’m “accusing kids of cocaine.” I respond: I’m not.
I decided to see if I could find an audio clip from the transcript that isn’t one of the seven or eight I’ve already shared. It was a little tedious but I went back and found an example.
Schwelcome
PS: NOT ONE DAMN WORD ABOUT THE “STREET DRUGS” LINE. IVE NEVER SOUNDED SO CRINGY IN MY LIFE. ALSO, THERE GOES THE SELECTIVELY EDITED ACCUSSATIONS THAT WERE ENEVITABLY COMING…
“You are questioning my classroom management?”
- THE EDGAR EMAILS
The narrative repeatedly leans on the insinuation that this was really about me — not a safety process issue.
So the file frames my responses as evasive, combative, unstable.
But in the recording, when Williams tries to push the conversation back towards my classroom management, she says “you don’t think there’s anything wrong with your classroom management?!” and I calmly reply: that’s not what I’m saying.
I’m trying to talk about procedure, reporting, and what I believed I was required to do.
So the record contains a strange inversion:
It portrays me as the person refusing accountability…
…while the audio shows me repeatedly trying to clarify that I’m not making categorical accusations — I’m raising concerns and asking what the correct process is.
This one is almost too easy, listen.
“Carr reportedly tod Penny that it is a Honduras drug ring and it involves all of the students in all of his classes. He told Penny that he had taken evidence home for safekeeping - glue sticks and mechanical pencils - which he said were being used by the students for drugs. ”
- THE EDGAR EMAILS
So far we’ve had: “Hondurian” “Honduranian” and now “Honduras” drug ring.
Honduran. For the love of God, it’s HONDURAN.
I pointed it out in the quiz already,
if you were too triggered by having to take an assessment post-secondary school, you missed it
but I’ll say it again:
I never got the chance to tell Dr. Schultz about taking items out of the classroom. I tried to, it was one of the two things I tried to tell her after our phone conversation on May 14th but she dismissed me and asked for my room number instead.
I also never spoke about “glue sticks” or “mechanical pencils” to Dr. Schultz… I only referenced those things in the Williams meeting in passing and responding to being berated about names/behaviors. It wasn’t like I was convinced of some giant conspiracy and dead set on proving it.
I just realized thats what the school district is doing…
I’m weak.
“On Tuesday morning (May 13) Dee went by Carr's classroom and he was showing videos of deer. He was supposed to be assisting the students get ready for testing and Dee redirected him to do that.”
And then there’s this little detail:
Williams “went by Carr’s classroom and he was showing videos of deer.”
I just wanted to share that because, man, Stef and I have laughed so hard at the thought of a teacher refusing to prep for state testing because he’s so insistent that students pay attention to these dang deer videos!
(but no, its not a joke. It’s for real in there)
The phrase copy
Here’s one of the strangest parts of reading Ms. Edgar’s emails after reading the May 19 letter:
It isn’t just “similar.”
It’s foundational.
It contains the motifs that later reappear in the formal letter like they’ve matured into consensus:
the “ring” framing
“evidence” language
the need for escalation
the oddities that signal “concern”
the leap from work behavior to family implications
This is how it works:
A person at the center receives information.
They interpret it.
They forward it.
They summarize it.
They frame it.
Then, downstream—
Employee Relations restates it as “reported behavior”
files are created, folders are made
HR formalizes it into a requirement you can’t refuse without consequences
And suddenly, the narrative exists in so many places that it looks independently confirmed—
even when it all traveled through the same mouth.
One source.
Many documents.

Why it matters: It’s an unusually specific, stigmatizing phrase that recurs across systems — a strong single‑stream “script” tell.

If you really want to nerd out about the Williams meeting and what was going on, check out the document below.
(you’ll see that in the meeting, Williams VERY MUCH takes my concerns seriously, there is never a time where she treats me like I am acting “erratic” or think that I am “unable to articulate” anything)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - WILLIAMS MEETING
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - WILLIAMS MEETING
The audit log is the system’s timestamped workflow history for the police report. Here, it shows the supplement was Work‑In‑Progress on May 15, then submitted/rejected on May 16, resubmitted May 19, and accepted/merged May 20—meaning the record was still being processed after the date printed on the report.
Turns out—and this may come as a complete shock to you— but the audit log shows that Officer Sabattis edited the
BACKDATED
POLICE
REPORT
after the fact.
Later, I tracked down this police report.
A formal narrative.
An official voice.
A document that looks, on its face, like it was always part of the record.
And what’s jarring isn’t just that it exists.
It’s how familiar it sounds.
The same odd phrases.
The same bizarre wording
The same narrative
The grammar is also super jarring…
It reads less like an independent, contemporaneous police report and more like a translation of the same narrative and edited to sound more like it belongs in a police report.
Which, by the way, is why the police report doesn’t function like a new witness, it sounds the same as the other narratives.
What it does do is function like an official seal.
A stamp that makes the very existence of the police report prove the story is true—
When what it really proves is that the story was repeated.
You know, Stef is always noticing shit.
When people ask me about dates or details or any sort of step-by-step process, I say this all the time: “Stef keeps the books, she’s the boss. If you want to know big picture vision for our family and theologically/metaphysically/philosophically valuable to our lives, I’m your guy. But I live at 30,000 feet and can’t land the plane.”
Stef is always noticing shit
and over the last 6 months, she did this type of thing a lot:
When I first opened the attachment with Officer Sabattis’ police report narrative on my computer, it had barely finished loading when Stef said:
“John-look-the-report-is-dated-May-15-but-it-references-things-that-hadnt-even-happened-yet.”
Huh?
“No-seriously-the-report-references-events-that-take-place-late-at-night-on-May-15-and-describes-actions-taken-the-next-day-on-May-16”
“I don’t believe this!”
“I-KNOW-THATS-WHY-I-WAS-"the grammar in this report is an effing nightmare! Do we not require police officers to graduate high school?! We give them guns FFS”
Sabattis’ report that doesn’t just summarize the week…
its an embarrassment to the American public education system and a blight on the standards set for law enforcement recruitment AND
It predicts the future.
Which I thought was pretty wild.
Actually, it was so interesting to me,
I went looking for the RMS audit log for that report...

SRO NARRATIVE
-
An audit log is the record‑management system’s time‑stamped history of what happened to a report after it was created—specifically, the report’s workflow “status” changes (and often who touched it).
In the screenshot shown here, the system returns six status‑history entries for the Incident Supplement 2025‑00059563‑15_28_53, with these timestamps and statuses:
05/15/2025 15:29:20 — “Work In Progress”
05/16/2025 09:06:09 — “Submitted”
05/16/2025 09:34:56 — “Rejected”
05/19/2025 16:02:00 — “Submitted”
05/20/2025 06:55:08 — “Accepted”
05/20/2025 09:30:42 — “Merged”
(Source: audit‑log status history screenshot.)
Why this matters
Readers naturally assume a police report dated May 15 was fully written and finalized on May 15. But this log shows the supplement was still moving through a workflow after May 15—submitted on May 16, rejected the same day, submitted again on May 19, then accepted/merged on May 20.
Inference (clearly labeled):
This makes it plausible that report content was still being revised or supplemented after May 15, which is especially important when the narrative contains details tied to May 16. The audit log is the key record for evaluating when the narrative reached its “final” form.What this does NOT prove
This status log does not, by itself, tell you which sentences were changed or why—and it doesn’t prove intent. Status changes can be routine. What it does provide is a reliable timeline showing the report was not “one‑and‑done” on May 15.
Note on redactions
Part of the screen is redacted, and the redaction cites Va. Code § 2.2‑3705.2(2) (Security System). Even with that redaction, the timestamps and statuses visible above still establish the report’s workflow timeline.
So… Lemme get this straight, you’re saying he can’t actually predict the future?
He can only f*ck with people’s lives by editing the past?
Way less cool, for sure.
If I had to guess,
oh I don’t know,
If I had to guess, I’d say the reason he MIGHT do that has something to do with making sure it matches the false narrative that flows downhill from a single source.
You know, the one that describes all these concerns, and accusations and behaviors that I supposedly exhibited?
And,
get this,
as if by magic,
when Sabattis finally submits his report, his narrative uses the same bizarre phases that match all the other false narratives that describe my behavior,
*GASP
EXCEPT BY THEN IT HAD BEEN 11 DAYS SINCE I SAW HIM LAST
How could he describe my actions and characterize my behavior confidently enough to put it in a police report, without any contact with me for 11 days?
The same goes for any time Williams mentions her concern about my “erratic behavior”
How could she have described my current behavior?
(and be “concerned” about my “foster” children)
She hadn’t seen me for two and a half days…
And before I forget to clearly mention what I hope is obvious to everyone:
ALL OF IT IS BULLSHIT.
Seriously, nearly all of the things in that letter are untrue.
But again, the people who wrote those accounts already knew that. That’s the point. Make Carr sound crazy, avoid blowback and liability. Bury him beneath a pile of records that describe him that way. Get CPS involved, that’ll keep him busy…
SO,
If a law-enforcement officer was willing to backdate and edit a report to include false information* so that his story matched the principal’s,
Inference*
That would make the report
FALSIFIED
as well as back dated.
Which might mean these laws are relevant to Officer Sabattis’ report.
Forgery/Falsifying Records (§ 18.2-168): Forging or uttering a public record is a Class 4 felony.
False Statement to Law Enforcement (§ 19.2-152.16): A Class 1 misdemeanor for knowingly making materially false statements to an officer during an investigation.
Falsely Summoning/Giving False Reports (§ 18.2-461): A Class 1 misdemeanor for knowingly giving false information to police with intent to mislead.
Perjury (§ 18.2-434): If the officer swore to the truthfulness of the report (e.g., in an affidavit), they could be charged with willfully swearing falsely about a material matter.
Obstruction of Justice (§ 18.2-460): If they concealed evidence (like video) to obstruct the investigation.
Which the Chesapeake Police Department might not be thrilled about. They also might tolerate a crooked cop and look out for their own… Both seem equally possible.
But I know for a fact
A Virginia State Police detective would be pretty concerned.
Which sorta makes you wonder… if they already have all these reports with the same false narrative and false information, why do they need a police report to say it?
Which sorta makes you wonder… does the police report accomplishes something that internal HR emails don't or can’t accomplish?
Which sorta makes you wonder…
what else in that report isn’t true?
