In March of 2014, The Family Defense Center published a two-year research and writing project “Medical Ethics Concerns in Child Abuse Investigations.”
Here is the Executive Summary:
The Family Defense Center’s mission is to advocate justice for families in the child welfare system. In working on cases for wrongly-accused families who are targeted as a result of Hotline calls to child protective services, the Center handles many cases involving physical findings (typically bone fractures and/or bleeding on the brain or eyes) that are initially believed to give rise to suspicion of child abuse. In most of the Center’s cases, these medical findings eventually come to be seen as either the result of an accidental or medical condition or disease; in some cases, the findings that caused child protection investigations are determined not have to have been present at all.
