Documentation — The Records Behind My Story

I am telling my story in my own words. Some of the experiences I describe are supported by documents, messages, photographs, medical records, recordings, and correspondence. I believe it is important to distinguish what I remember, what records show, and what questions remain unanswered.

This section is being developed. It is a guide to how supporting material may be presented alongside my story—not a public dump of original evidence. There are no downloadable case documents here at this time.

Read the story first

My accounts appear as chapters so that evidence can be understood in context. Read the chapter guide or begin with Part One: Before All of This.

How documentation will be organized

Timeline: Chronological accounts with references to approved material.

Communications: Selected, redacted excerpts from texts, emails, and related correspondence, with dates and context.

Photographs and recordings: Only those carefully reviewed for legal restrictions, privacy, consent, and personal safety.

Medical and official records: Limited excerpts or descriptions rather than private identifying medical records or complete case files.

Seeking help: Correspondence and lessons from navigating advocacy and legal processes, while respecting confidential communications.

Why the original files are not posted

Publishing entire records can expose children, witnesses, private addresses, account details, health information, and people who did not consent to public identification. It can also complicate unresolved legal matters. Original files are preserved separately, and any future public examples will be reviewed and redacted before publication.

Understanding what you read

This is a first-person survivor account. My recollections are my own; documents will be identified for what they are, with dates and sources when appropriate. The existence of a document or a report is not by itself a court finding, and some proceedings remain unresolved.

For other survivors

You do not need to publish your records, photographs, or experiences to deserve support. If you are trying to preserve evidence, consider asking a qualified advocate or attorney about safe storage and legal considerations. Find an advocate or visit Resources & Support.

I want Please Hear Me to be a place for voices and accountability, without putting anyone’s safety or privacy at risk.
