A child I was babysitting for was in my care for the duration of the day, at 4:55 the mother picked the child up. The mother does not have a medical marijuana license, and has said to other neighbors in the neighborhood that she believes I smoke marijuana because she believes she has smelt it faintly in the morning during one drop off. After picking the child up at 4:55, she then started writing me around 6:15 asking if her child was acting strange that day, in response my answer was no. She insisted that since she picked him up from my care that he was limp, and lathargic, and not himself. She took him to the urgent care around 6:15 and it was discovered he had THC in his system. The mother is known to buy THC gummies from another person in our neighborhood that has a medical marijuana card, and she even disclosed this information to Department of Children and Families. The police and DCF came out to my house and did investigations, and I was not arrested, or found to be at fault.
I am confused. If DCF and law enforcement found no violation and no charges were filed, WHO is suing you? If its the mother, this would certainly be a case, where based on your statements, she would have a "set of stones" to actually file a lawsuit where you would have the ability to put her under oath and subpoena records related her THC use. At the same time, if you DO smoke weed or have THC products at your property, that equally applies to you. If an actual lawsuit was filed, you will need to spend the money to retain a lawyer to defend the lawsuit so that you don't end up with a bad result out of self lawyering or inadvertently botching things up. Many plaintiffs file lawsuits hoping the defendant will default so they can "win" the case.
