OPENING

Hello. My name is kayla hofer, and I am creating this documentary series for one reason above all others: to protect my daughter.

What you are about to hear is not easy to share, and it may not be easy to hear. But it must be documented. It must be preserved. Because truth, when carefully recorded, becomes protection. And protection is what my daughter and I desperately need.

THE PURPOSE

This documentary series exists to:

First and foremost - to protect my daughter and to reunite with her. She has been illegally stolen from me through the courts. We have been separated, segregated by family and authorities who have used my disability as a weapon to tear us apart.

Second - to hold every person, organization, institution, and government entity involved accountable to the highest standards. What has been done to us is not just wrong—it is a violation of my rights as a citizen, as a disabled person, and as a human being. My God-given rights have been violated.

Third - to secure protection for us moving forward. This record is being created so that the abuse stops, so that we can be safe, and so that what has happened to us cannot happen again—not to us, and not to others.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED

My daughter and I have been subjected to abuse and harassment. We have been separated and segregated. These people have used my disability—something that should afford me protection and accommodation—to tear us apart instead.

I have been violated in ways that are difficult to put into words:

- My rights as a citizen have been violated

- My rights as a disabled person have been violated

- My human rights—my God-given rights—have been violated

And here is what makes this even more devastating: The help I seek does not exist.

I have been refused help from everyone I have asked. The more I ask for help, the more we get abused or punished. When I seek help or try to stop the abuse, they institutionalize me—by hospital or jail. They drug me against my will into stupidity.

This is a flawed system designed to keep victims in the cycle of abuse, to keep them trapped and trafficked.

MY DESIRED OUTCOME

I am creating this documentary to achieve several critical outcomes:

1. To reunite with my daughter

She has been taken from me illegally. I want her back. I want her safe. I want her to wake up to the truth and to be free from the negative influencers and mind control that have affected her life.

2. To find advocacy, legal support, and resources

I am documenting this publicly because I need help. Real help. Help that actually protects us instead of punishing us. I am seeking advocates, attorneys, organizations, and individuals who will stand with us and fight for justice.

3. To hold people and institutions accountable

Everyone involved—individuals, organizations, institutions, government entities—must be held to the highest standards of accountability. What has been done to us cannot go unanswered.

4. To secure protection moving forward

This is not just about the past. This is about ensuring that my daughter and I are protected from further harm. That we can live freely, safely, and with dignity.

5. To expose a broken system

What has happened to us is not an isolated incident. It is the result of a flawed system that traps victims in cycles of abuse, that punishes people for seeking help, that uses institutionalization and forced medication as tools of control. This system must be exposed and reformed.

WHY I AM SPEAKING OUT NOW

You might wonder why I’m doing this publicly. Why create a documentary? Why not work quietly through the system?

The answer is simple: The system has failed us.

Every time I have asked for help, I have been refused, punished, or institutionalized. Every door I have knocked on has been closed. Every authority I have turned to has turned against me.

So I am turning to you—to anyone who will listen, to anyone who cares about truth and justice, to anyone who believes that a mother and child deserve protection.

This documentary is my last resort and my best hope. It is a record that cannot be erased, a truth that cannot be hidden, a call for help that cannot be silenced.

WHAT THIS SERIES WILL DO

In the episodes that follow, I will document:

- The specific harms inflicted upon my daughter and me

- The individuals, institutions, and systems involved

- The ways my disability has been weaponized against us

- The pattern of abuse, punishment, and institutionalization

- The violations of our rights—civil, disability, and human rights

- The barriers to help and the refusal of support

- The truth about what has happened, preserved with clarity and precision

This is not speculation. This is not exaggeration. This is documentation—facts, experiences, evidence, and truth.

A CALL FOR HELP

If you are watching this, I am asking for your help.

If you are an attorney who handles civil rights, disability rights, or family law—I need you.

If you work with an advocacy organization that fights for the rights of disabled people or families torn apart by the system—I need you.

If you have resources, connections, or knowledge that could help me reunite with my daughter and secure our safety—I need you.

If you simply care about truth and justice—I need you to share this, to amplify this, to help make sure this record is seen and heard.

THE MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of A Record They Tried to Erase: Protecting Her Through Truth is to preserve an accurate and comprehensive record of the experiences, actions, and systemic failures that impacted a mother and her child.

This series exists to document truth with clarity, logic, and care—including facts, lived experiences, emotional realities, and thoughtful analysis—so that nothing essential is lost, distorted, or erased.

The purpose is not retaliation or spectacle, but preservation, understanding, and protection. This mission is grounded in the belief that truth, when carefully documented and responsibly presented, is a safeguard against further harm and a foundation for justice, healing, and reform.

This record is created in good faith, with integrity, and with the conviction that what is documented cannot be dismissed.

My name is kayla Hofer. I am a mother fighting to protect and reunite with my daughter. I am a disabled person whose rights have been violated. I am a human being seeking justice and accountability.

This is my record. This is my truth. This is my call for help.

And this is just the beginning.

Thank you for listening. Please stay with me as this story unfolds.

Because memory fades, records disappear, and silence enables harm.

But truth, when carefully documented, protects.
