Q: I was an Art teacher and added names to my attendance list of people that wasn't taking the classes.
I was an Art teacher in a senior center, which made me chase for students, so in my frustration I added names to my attendance list of people that wasn't taking the classes, that's it. They got angry and fired me, but this people are so crazy that I fear that they can charge me with forgery charges on a court and cause me problems. I have reasons to fear? Or they are just bragging.
A: I'm not sure I understand your question or what it is you are being accused of having done. You made a list of people that were not attending? Or did you add to an attendance list the names of people who did not attend to make it look like they did attend? Or are you being accused of forging signatures on an attendance list? I can think of a few scenarios where forging signatures on an attendance list could be problematic (maybe in the event you were being paid per attendee). You should probably reach out to an attorney in a private setting for a consultation to discuss this further and not post anymore about this incident online (do not follow up my question with any answers) because this is a public forum, and what you say here could theoretically be seen by the attorneys for your former employer - who might try to use what you've said here against you. Your fact pattern seems fairly unique and it would not be hard to imagine. If you do not have an attorney already start your search here: https://www.justia.com/lawyers
