Today, I was written up for bringing my son to work. For safety reasons, bringing kids to work is strictly prohibited. I don’t have any kids. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a child was choking in the store I work at. He was alone in the aisle, so I started the Heimlich without his parents' permission. After dislodging what was caught, his mother turned the corner and went screaming to my manager for touching her kid. I got a write up. FML
Today, I was told not to show up for work, after I showed up for work. FML
Today, I worked security by myself in an office, which meant I had to eat at the desk and wasn't allowed to leave. I got written up for my husband dropping off my lunch. FML
Today, I took my 6 year-old to work. A normally docile child, she chased me around with her toy - beating me with it while all my colleagues watched - not stopping despite me requesting her to. When she finally lost said toy, she threw a huge tantrum. Guess who's banned from my office. FML
Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML
Today, I took my wife and our 6 year-old son to a company party. Sometimes I take my son to work with me, so he knows my coworkers. One of them walked over and introduces herself to my wife, and my son says, "Yeah, they go to into the bathroom together all the time during break!"’ Thanks, son. FML
Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML
Today, my boss told me, and only me, to leave work before I was done because I'm a minor and he can't have me sticking around at work as long as I do. I'm not a minor. My coworkers are. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. FML

Even if OP signed it I think it's pretty easy to prove that they don't have kids so that this was a mistake...

I'd ask to see the video or call ghost hunters

If you don't have kids that's easily proven.

I need some back story here....do they know you don't have kids? whose kid was it?

So is one of your co-workers laughing to themselves that they set you up, or was there some random kid on site, and your boss thought it was yours? Also, did you not contest the write-up? If somebody accuses me of being/doing wrong, I ask for proof before I accept the consequences.
