I got tattled on and I want to know what is going to happen next

so this punk kid that i've smoked with maybe a couple of times ended up admiting to his foster parent (wtf?) that i SELL DRUGS
Let me interupt real quick and just add that I have NEVER dealt drugs before, nor have I ever let on, implied, or told this kid that I have. And I am currently on probation.
Apperently this foster parent has alerted the police about me "selling drugs".
This upsets me greatly, I want to know how to further protect myself, and what I can do to clear me name, and/or what legal action they can and will take against me.
He told me today and I completely blew up on him, I was very angry and kept trying to figure out why he told them, and he just kept saying "i dont know". I fear that he might go and tell more lies.
I really just don't know what to do, im really scared that this is going to interfere with my probation.

i would kick his ass and make him tell them the truth. the answer "I don't know" don't fix anything. he better go tell the truth that you don't do that shit.

well yeh if i try to i can for sure, but thats not the problem me and my probation officer are good with eachother and she trusts me, and I don't want this to fuck that relationship over. And I'm supposed to get off of probation in less than a month
BTW I want to add that no one besides the guy has approached me about it. As in the cops haven't come and talked to me or anything, and my probation officer hasn't said anything either.

Yeah but if you can pass a test they can't really due much else to you since there's not really any proof of anything. Besides it will just up your credibility and make that kid look like a liar if they give you one and you pass. But definitely pay that kid a visit and make sure he knows what he did isn't cool. They might not have actually even told anybody though. How long ago did it happen?

simple.
Don't hang out w/ idiot juvenials... trouble, parents can't believe their darling wants to get high... its PEER PRESSURE!
Then, stop consuming detectable drugs till off probation.
Refuse to talk to him or anyone, especially police, about the incident.
Don't sell drugs.

Well if you can prove you're innocent and want to get back at em I guess you could try to sue him for slander.

Get rid of anything incriminating and lay low for a while. And, like johnm214 suggested, stop hanging around underage kids. That's a sure way to get busted.

I think it'd be tough. You'd have to sue the parents in place of the juvenile for the kid telling his parents something. What are the damages? Unless the parents blab all over town.
The communication with the police is most likely covered under a state witness immunity law.

Yeah well if it goes bad with his probation officer and whatnot and it gets worse than I'd suggest considering the issue of slander but for now cap him in the knee.

I'm not saying you shouldn't sue... I'm just saying you may have an uphill battle... It's only slander if their was some publicization of the false statements. Doesn't count from child to parent. Now if the kid blabbed all over town, or the mother did, then its actionable.
Or you could claim that the kid made up a story for the purpose of demonizing you, intending for it to spread vis a vis his parents. Still probably more of an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim...
That shit is always tough, but if you've got about a hundred dolllars you can cost them a few thousand in lawyer's fees by smart pleading.

He has no case. It would be his word against a kid who's going to keep lying about it. Nothing good could come of trying to push a frivolous lawsuit against a minor.
Without any percipient knowledge of any crime this guy's just talking shit like a retard and getting himself into trouble. Cops probably aren't going to hassle you over it unless they're really bored, and no judge is going to sign a search warrant over it. Just don't get yourself busted in the last month of probation....

dude you're good as long as you clean your system and get every shred of incriminating evidence out of your house. i would call your probation officer to talk about it and iron it out before they hear from someone else.
call these people and record the conversation they have with you to get proof that they called the police and filed fallacious claims against you.

No worries brother, if you were really in the game and you live in a town with no real crime, they would already have their eyes on you. It doesn't matter what you did, the most important thing is your state of mind so just take it as a lesson learned, we all need to be careful. No use getting angry, the problem today is snitches and the only way to get around them is to stop associating with them.

If you don't sell drugs then you don't have anything to worry about.. passing a piss test will not matter, they don't just test your piss when they think you sell drugs lol.

He may have plenty to worry about if the kid doesn't recant, but I really doubt anyone will take his ass seriously.
People are convicted of much more serious crimes on he-said-she-said evidence. Cuz this is such small potatos, I really doubt anyone will give a shit, but who knows, in small communities a bitchy mother can carry alot of weight w/ the right prosecutor.

You can't get charged for hearsay, the cops won't even waste their time. And if you don't sell drugs then it doesn't matter anyway, what are you afraid of?

I agree they will very likely not care.
But 1) It seems you don't understand what hearsay is
2) You can be charged for whatever reason they want. If you insist on indictment then the standard rules of evidence don't apply. Even if the case at present is hearsay (which its not) it would still be admissable in grandjury proceedings in most states

Do you have any idea how many of these phone calls the cops get a day? Now maybe if it was "my son has 10 grams of pure heroine and I know where he gets it from" it would be a little different. Dilute next time you meet your PO and thats about it.
