🚨 OCFS Lied to Police—And I Now Have the Body Cam to Prove It

On March 11, 2025, Amy Cilley, an official with Maine’s Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS), made false and defamatory claims about me to a Biddeford police officer. At the time, I had my own full-length video and audio recording of the encounter. I knew the truth. I lived it. But what I didn’t have—until recently—was their version of the event captured on police body cam.

That footage changed everything.

Once I obtained the body cam footage through a formal request, it confirmed exactly what I suspected: Amy Cilley lied. And not just in passing—she deliberately misrepresented the events, which I can now conclusively disprove by comparing her statements to both the police footage and my own full recording of the same event.

That’s when I reached out to Chief JoAnne Fiske of the Biddeford Police Department. I didn’t go to her right after the March 11th incident—I went to her after I had the undeniable proof in hand.

But instead of doing something about it, or even acknowledging the contradiction, Chief Fiske told me I would need to take the matter to the Maine Attorney General’s Office.

The problem with that? I’ve already been doing exactly that. For over six months.

🔁 Deflection: The Most Consistent Response I Get

This is the pattern that keeps repeating. Every time I escalate the issue through the proper channels—armed with evidence, with documentation, with recordings—I’m told to take it somewhere else.

• DHHS says it’s a police issue.

• The police say it’s a DHHS issue.

• The Attorney General never replies.

• The Governor’s Office ignores me.
  

Every agency passes the buck. Every official relies on the word of the one before. And not one of them takes responsibility when that chain of trust leads directly back to a fabricated lie.

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies—including Berwick, Sanford, and Biddeford—continue to act on these false claims. Not because they’ve seen the proof for themselves, but because they simply accept OCFS’s word as fact.

No investigation. No accountability. Just blind obedience to false authority.

📩 How the Email Chain Grew

Once I realized I had definitive proof—Amy Cilley’s false claims on record, matched against verifiable evidence—I forwarded everything. I cc’d the Governor’s Office, legislators, York County prosecutors, the child welfare ombudsman, and others. I included links to recordings, transcripts, and body cam footage.

I laid out how the system is not just broken—it’s being weaponized against me for speaking up.

Let’s be clear: these are not baseless accusations. They are backed by:

• 🔊 My own recordings

• 🎥 Police body cam footage

• 📄 Transcripts and complaints

• 🗣️ Recorded admissions by OCFS and law enforcement personnel

• 🧾 Email and phone logs showing months of outreach and silence The System Just Doesn’t Want to Look.
  

I’m a 100% disabled veteran. I’ve never been charged with a crime. There is no substantiated risk. And yet, I haven’t seen my sons in over a year. Not because of something I did—but because of what others falsely said I did.

This is what happens when lies go unchecked, when agencies protect themselves instead of the public, and when no one has the courage to say, “We got it wrong.”

OCFS doesn’t just hold unchecked power—they hold it without fear of accountability.

👥 I Am Not Alone

I’ve spoken to other families across Maine living the same nightmare: false claims, ignored evidence, and agencies reinforcing each other’s lies instead of challenging them. It’s not just mismanagement—it’s a culture of institutional gaslighting and systemic retaliation.

What happened to me is part of a pattern. And the more I speak out, the more retaliation I face.

🔗 You Don’t Have to Take Their Word for It. You Can See It Yourself.

I’ve published everything publicly—my recordings, the body cam footage, and the documentation that proves how far this cover-up goes.
