Q: Hello, I’m creating a documentary about my life and I want to know if I can be sued for defamation of character.

This will be throughly detailed and I will mainly discuss the mistreatment/negligence I endured from DCF, former foster care parents, medical centers, etc. I’m going to state their full names, locations, etc. I just would like to make sure that I can’t be sued afterwards.

I am not sure what the question is. Are they charging you criminally? Did you lose your job? Does or will the camera footage show any theft? Good luck.

Q: Is it illegal for me to walk around or text everyone I see that I love a specific person?
