Talking to the Police

During the time I was in the emergency room I was asking for my dad and my sister. I remember the San Jose Police officer saying no they can't come in right now because I don't want to hear their story of what happened, I need your story. I could not remember much and I was feeling really scared. He would not let me have my sister come in..How can he be asking things I don't remember? I did say I want to press charges but with my head and neck trauma would I have been able to tell them what happened? I really think the police should let you have a family member with you. I knew I was hurt and I thought my wrist was broken. I lied on the back board with a neck brace for over 1 hour and I was in this pain that made me want to jump out of my skin. The guys from the emergency room said OK lets go to get a CT scan and xrays however the police office said I didn't take pictures yet.. they said I could not come off the neck brace or board until I have the CT and xrays so they said they would come back. The police officer took a couple of pictures and said when you get home take more pictures and sent them in. My sister was finally allowed in and now I was on the board for around 2 plus hours. They told my sister that I missed my spot and they had to put me back on a rotation so it will be awhile. The pain was almost too much to handle.
Monday I took the day off to get a restraining order at the Rocklin Police Department just like the police officer told me to do in San Jose. Well, I have one wrist in a splint and I'm all bruised up. I walk into the new Rocklin Police Department and speak to this elderly lady at the window.
She tells me to sit down and she will find out how I should proceed. I am sitting in the waiting room and I start to cry because I'm in disbelief that I am sitting in a police department. The woman tells me that I am in the wrong place. She gives me an address in Auburn, CA and says you need to go here on B Street. I am now on my way to Auburn I find the place and it's a vacant building. A man outside says go to the end of the street their is a new justice building and they will help you. I do that and they tell me I am also in the wrong place I need to go to Roseville, CA to the court house. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I just spent over 4 hours doing this so far. I then go to the Court house in Roseville, try to fill out all the paper work and get another number. I must say the 2 ladies that helped me at the Court house in Roseville were fantastic. I told them I had never done this before and I was not sure what or how to do it. I wish I could remember their names. They tagged the pages for me and helped me with everything I needed. I actually felt pretty good when I left. A couple of days later I called and the restraining order was ready to be picked up so my daughter picked it up after school for me. I get off work late and I take light rail from Sacramento. OK, since Monday the day I took off work I had been calling so many different phone numbers trying to find out how to serve my ex boyfriend since he was sitting in jail. A lady at the San Jose police station after hearing my story said, when you get the order fax it to this number. I had my daughter go to our townhouse office and see if they would help us out. They did. My daughter received a phone call asking why we just faxed it. I told her that I was instructed to do that. Well they said they were throwing it because they are not able to serve it. This is no lie, I called 23 different phone numbers asking how to do get the order served to someone in jail again saying this is new to me. I have never experienced this and I have no idea how this works please help me. Every number I called lead me no where. I sat home each night and just cried because I felt like I am the victim I NEED THE HELP! I NEED ASSISTANCE! I decided to drive to Elmwood this past Saturday which is 2 plus hours to deliver the order to a police officer. The police officer was very nice and asked where was the Notice of Service.. I said everything the court gave me is in this folder. He said wait for a deputy and we will try to help you. Finally a deputy came and looked through every paper I had and luckily I have 4 copies of the restraining order because they took 3 of them. The deputy signed and dated the form and gave it back to me. Could it be that it was finally handled!!!!
Tuesday the 28th my daughter went to the Court house in Rocklin to turn the paper in.. IT WAS THE WRONG FORM! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. The order is not valid! are you kidding me!
I am now back at square one.
