NSW Lie about husband mental health

[Pue]

Hi, I rang lifeline lie to them that my husband was about to hang himself, so they sent help, but I didn't expect the policemen. I thought only emergency service or ambulance would come. The police and 000 came and took my husband to assess him under mental health act. My husband refuse to give them any details so they spoke to me. I told them that he suffered from stress for a period of time, and try to kill himself many times. I did even put the rope in the shed, so they could believe me. He then got sent to hospital, locked away to be assess by the specialist. He didn't tell them anything so the nurse rang me and try to find out what happened. I then again lied to her that my husband was yelling and shouting all the time and try to hang himself. However they can't find any ground to hold him under mental health act, because he was acting normal during the assessment. I lied because I want my husband to be put away in the mental health unit the fact that he wouldn't allow my kids to go to Thailand with me. Now I feel really bad about it all I want to come clean but not sure how to go about it. I want to clear my husband name and record. I want to know who should i contact; police department; hospital. Am I going to face any fines or pernalty for lying to those officers and created a big episode?
I'm looking forward to your reply and thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Pue

They have assessed him as normal, yes?
Where is your husband now?

 

[Pue]

Yes, they did assess him, took him to hospital under police guards. He is at home now.

So is there actually anything on record that could affect him in some way, now or in the future?

What doe's your husband want you to do about it?

 

[Pue]

Not really sure, the police and hospital took his details from me, I told them he need help, try to hang himself and he has mental issue. They took my words. My husband doesn't want any records at all, having mental health or anything to do with authority. They hold him for around 4-5 hours. I am thinking of going to police station, wanting to clear everything but not sure of the pernalty. Can u please help me?

If you have signed your name to any statements, statutory declarations, affidavits or the like the police can charge you. Doesn’t mean they will & They probably won’t.

Hope you’ve learnt from this. A woman crying wolf can get a man into a lot of trouble these days. Sometimes the damage can’t be undone even when the woman confesses to it being a lie because unless they are satisfied otherwise, the police & courts hold the view that the woman is being coerced into changing their story

If he is willing to forgive you for this then the deciding factor shouldn’t be whatever consequence may flow to you from you clearing his name & character. You should just go to the police & tell them the truth.

Maybe in the future if he doesn’t agree to something you want regarding the kids you could try reminding yourself that they are HIS kids as well. As such HE gets a legal & moral right to an opinion.

Thanks, I'll go to the police and tell them the truth.

 

[Pue]

I didn't sign anything, police have taken names and personal details of me my husband and my kids.
