Stop the Courts, Clinics, and State from Erasing a Father Who’s Telling the Truth
Stop the Courts, Clinics, and State from Erasing a Father Who’s Telling the Truth
The Issue
My name is Jake Wilson. I’m a dad of three boys and I’m getting destroyed — not because I did something wrong, but because I refused to stay quiet.
This started as a basic custody motion I filed late last August 2024. All I asked for was to have my time with my boys recognized by the courts I was able to see them whenever I wanted but after four years of divorce... I no longer felt I needed to ask permission from my ex every time I wanted to see them. My ex-wife responded with an HRO citing behaviors that hadn't occurred in over three years and fabricating most of the rest of her petition
And from that moment on, everything blew up!
Over the last year, I’ve been lied about, shut out, and labeled “aggressive” by every person and system who was supposed to help. Not a single one of them could back it up — no reports, no documentation, nothing. But once the label sticks, you don’t get a say anymore. You’re just the bad guy.
And now there’s no one left to turn to. I’ve filed complaints with:
The U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services....The MN Board of Nursing....
The Guardian ad Litem Board (initial complaint denied, appeal pending)...
The Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility (first complaint and appeal was denied, second complaint is pending since I recently filed it after the HRO was filed against me). .... Dakota County District Court Administrator (against presiding judges personal court clerk for refusing to even acknowledge he's received my motions or correspondence.
Sent more than 12 letters to clinics demanding they release or correct my kids records.
One provider was told my son has "improved in all areas of mental health and therapy can be postponed"… Same kid very next day at a different provider..... they were told "he is isolating in his room.....unmotivated for school and not seeing friends"
Nobody acted. They all just passed it off to the next person, or flat-out ignored me. Nobody wants to be the one who admits they screwed up....or that the person they’ve been protecting lied.
When I started comparing records, I learned the intake at one provider reported my son had PTSD caused by my domestic abuse. Except it wasn’t true. The symptoms never happened. The diagnosis disappeared — but the lie stayed in the records. Every single medical file claims I’m violent. But not one record includes any of my kids saying that. They all said they felt safe with me. Missed me. Trusted me.
I never got a chance to speak. I just got shut out completely.
Meanwhile, my ex has broken court orders again and again. She terminated my Release of Information at one clinic and conveniently forgot to submit the one page in our entire parenting plan that gives me access to records at another provider. She refused to let me access insurance even though I have joint legal custody. She forgets medications or gives the wrong dose. Once, she threw them out her car window in a plastic bag while filming me.
She told therapists, teachers, and doctors I abused her and the kids — for years. No one verified anything. She used her position as a nurse to make it sound legit. And it worked.
The Guardian ad Litem ignored a literal audio recording of my ex-wife lunging at my middle son's neck with a knife... along with the police report from that night in which my oldest son says that in fact happened. . The GAL left it out of her report. Then she recommended I lose permanently lose all legal rights and only get supervised visits — pending enrollment in individual therapy, a psych eval, and two parenting classes.
When I notified the court I was preparing a motion to strike her report, the judge dismissed her from the case four days later before I was able to file my motion. No explanation. No accountability.
The attorney involved? She’s asked the court for $40,000 in conduct-based attorney fees — all while making false claims in filings, enabling her client to break court orders, and misrepresenting the law over and over. After I filed my second motion for sanctions, she filed an HRO on me. Said she’s “terrified I might show up at her home with a weapon.”
I don’t own a weapon. I don't have a gun permit. I have no assault or violent charges anywhere on my record
The judge? In one hearing, she stripped me of custody — even though custody wasn’t on the docket. She allowed in six-year-old video and audio clips against my objection and then cited them in her written ruling. That evidence was relevant but she denied my current exculpatory evidence that proved I was telling the truth
I’ve been working gig jobs. I’m four months behind on rent. I use public libraries to print documents. Meanwhile, the system that is designed to prioritize and protect the children at all cost is not only allowing or enabling the abuse to continue… They're almost encouraging it due to their absolute lack of action and investigation when undeniable evidence is right in front of them.
Instead they say I’m dangerous. That I’m unfit. That I don’t deserve a voice. All of this put together simply means my children are continuing to be abused..... manipulated and weaponized
The hearing for the HRO filed by opposing council is September 12. The evidence of unethical bad faith tactics is overwhelming. The email evidence she submitted are not full and true and have been altered to fit her narrative. Multiple times she omits entries from me being polite respectful and professional while only discussing aspects of the case Including her misrepresentation of the law and her misconduct. She also omitsher own entries that are full of prejudicial and inflammatory language and accusations.
with the current narrative being fed to The court and how this counselor will describe me as a person in her opening statements since she'll be the first one to speak to the court. Without representation I'm terrified that my voice will not only be not heard but it will be silenced from advocating for my sons.
if the HRO sticks and the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility declines to investigate for a second time....I could be in jeopardy of losing my kids forever!
This is a system that protects itself.... not the children who desperately need help....even if it means lying, covering up, and destroying the parent who dares to push back.
Please sign this if you believe:
False reports should be investigated
Medical records should reflect what kids actually say
Judges and attorneys should be held accountable
Fathers should have the right to fight for their kids without being vilified
I didn’t ask for this fight. But I’m in it now. And I refuse to give up. Please help me keep going.
Based on everything you have just read I am also financially exhausted and desperately need limited scope representation for this September 12 HRO hearing. If the nightmare my boys and I have been living in seems impossible to occur… I should tell you what you just read is only a fraction of the entire story. If you are in a position to allow me to keep fighting it would mean more than you can imagine.
