Couple wrongly accused of abusing their baby cannot have their children back because it is 'too late', court rules
A judge yesterday ruled that a couple will never see three of their children again even though he accepted they may have been wrongly accused of abusing them.
Mark and Nicky Webster's three eldest children were taken into care in 2004 after doctors claimed that six tiny fractures found on the middle child had been inflicted deliberately. All three were adopted.
Yesterday, in a failed attempt to have the adoption order overturned, the couple were told that even though they could be victims of a miscarriage of justice it was 'too late' for them to be reunited with their daughter and two sons.
Oh, my gosh: Talk about miscarriage of justice! Imagine: The stigma in being falsely accused of a crime against a child AND to lose one's own children because of an error in judgement!?!
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happens in America. Both my daughters were told the same thing, by the same Judge. He said it didn't matter that the kids were taken illegally. They were not allowed to bring in new evidence. Hidden medical records from the same hospital, in both cases and Lawyers who refused to file appeal's. Because the appeals weren't filed, the Judge claimed in was too late after ajudication.
ReplyDeleteI'm too am being falsely accused of child abuse/neglect of my beloved daughter. It hurts each day to try to live without her. I had no idea this could be done. What an atrocity not only to me, but my child who can't do for herself due to being disabled. She must wonder where the mother is that took care of her every need. I have no idea where to turn.
