Subtitle: from the fields to the chief's office
Description: Ruben Archuleta belongs in prison for the crimes he committed against me when I was a child.

My name is Matt Myers. I am a victim of child abuse. Ruben Archuleta is responsible for protecting my mother from CPS while the abuse was ongoing. He was an officer with the Pueblo Police Department when he did this. When my mother got CPS called on her after threatening me with a gun, Ruben Archuleta helped my mother take me halfway across the country and put me in Cedar Springs Hospital, which is a for profit mental hospital in Colorado Springs. After I got out he forced me back into the abusive environment I was trapped in with my mother, Janet Myers. I spent the next six years being threatened and chased with knives when my mother would grab her head and scream that she was going to cut me, having my life threatened when I would be trapped in vehicles with my mother (she would threaten to swerve into oncoming traffic in order to kill us both), being the target of her constant screaming rage fits, as well as physical violence as I got older. Ruben Archuleta was her constant and steadfast protector as the abuse was ongoing, despite the fact that he was a police officer. Ruben Archuleta is directly responsible for me being trapped in that abusive environment, and he is directly responsible for my mother getting away with her crimes. He helped my mother force the blame onto me the entire time. If it had not been for Ruben Archuleta protecting my mother from CPS, the abuse would have been over when I was 12. Police corruption is inexcusable.
