My step son asked me to fix his tablet because it wasn’t loading his game .
After i updated it and reset the WiFi, I went to clear the search history because it still wasn’t loading.
When I did this I saw the previous search history, which was his mother researching how to break the law. At this point of course, I kept reading and saw even worse things searched. And i went down a long rabbit hole because the searches kept getting worse.
We recently had to submit financial info in court to get child support updated . We suspected some things were not matching because she kept claiming a lot of things we never saw with the children. But she always had receipts.
A few years ago during Covid , she also starting filing “ business income “ which was strange because we knew she didn’t work. She claimed “ babysitting “ . She even got a PIP loan. She gets $110K a year in child support and we pay all expense.
Now what I have learned is the business income was completely fake as we suspected. She researched how to prove income . She downloaded invoice and receipt maker . She faked income to get Covid benefits and file taxes. On top of that , most of the invoices and receipts she sent us are also fake . We have paid thousands of inflated or fake receipts.
She also researched how to manipulate court and what to say to get full custody. But she was also researching how to kill my unborn child. By putting stuff in food or drinks for her kids to bring it to us.
I asked the kids if that app was theirs and she said it was their moms , she uses it to get photos to earn money in apps for free items or food. She was searching how to claim abuse and how to coach kids for court without sounded coached.
I honestly don’t know what to do at this point. I feel bad for reading her search history but I am also angry, scared and frustrated now.
I took pictures of the results .
If I report her to the IRS , can I get in trouble
