BAKER — A 31-year-old Pensacola woman accused of making false child abuse reports is due in court Dec. 2.
Since May 14, 2013, Krystal Lynn Godwin made the following claims, according to an arrest report:
•Thata woman’s “paramour” was “drunk in the presence of the kids.”
•The paramour — who was “admitted to a mental facility for 72 hours” and was returning to the home — hit the mother in front of the children and had been arrested for domestic violence against other people.
•There was a loaded gun in the home within the children's reach.
•The child was allowed “to walk home alone from school.”
A Department of Children and Families investigator found that the report was false and there was no indicator of abuse, according to authorities. The investigator noted that the mother showed her “hundreds of text messages” from Godwin, including threats that Godwin was “going to make her life hell and call HRS,” according to the report.
Deputies spoke to Godwin on March 20, and she said she had made the false accusation, the report said.
She said she “could promise that she won’t make the calls again.”
She was arrested Oct. 23 and charged with making a false report of child abuse.
