Legal procedures required to defend false allegations of child abuse
Legal procedures required to defend false allegations of child abuse
Crime like ‘child abuse' is always considered as serious crime under US criminal law. It is a serious offense where a child has been abused physically, mentally or sexually by his or her parents or someone elder who is close to him or her. It is often seen that the abuse has been carried out by the suspect either purposely or out of negligence towards the child. Such cases are often carried out either in family law court or juvenile court.
However, it is often seen that the suspect who has been held for child abuse may not commit the crime in actual. The suspect has been falsely accused of such crime so that his or her reputation in the society gets hampered. In such situation, the suspect needs to be very careful.
How to defend yourself if you face such serious allegation?
Have you faced false accusation for abusing your child? If so, you need to be very careful about the legal steps you decide to take. Knowing about these effective measures can actually help you to prove your innocence. Otherwise, you may fall into a more complicated situation instead of getting out of it. Hence, if you face such accuse while going through other legal proceedings like divorce, you will be denied from getting custodial right for your child.
Stay calm in such situation:–
Hearing the accusation on one fine day, you may react adversely. Such reaction won't help you to save yourself. Instead, you may fall into more complex problems. To avoid such situations, it is better to stay calm. You can just claim that the accusation is false. Other than this, it is better not to take any drastic step. Instead, try to find out who the actual accuser is.
Be careful when you plan to visit your child after facing such accusation:–
Visit your child in the presence of another trustworthy individual. This individual should be reliable enough who will not pass any fake statement against you in front of the court. If you notice any bruises on your child's body, inform it to the Department of Family and Child Services. As the department to check out whether any other individual is responsible for the bruises or the child has received such injury while playing.
Take legal assistance for better guidance: –
Just by claiming that you have not committed the crime won't prove your innocence. Hence, you need to take legal assistance. Who can provide you such assistance? An experienced criminal lawyer specialized in handling such cases is the most suitable person to do so. The appointed lawyer can explain you about the legal steps required in such case in details. In fact, he can even suggest you about the best time to file petition for claiming your innocence.
Hence, adopting such measures can help you to prove yourself innocent in front of the court.

‘Secrecy’ in the Court of Protection
‘Secrecy’ in the Court of Protection
The Court of Protection hears cases relating to some of the most morally and politically contentious issues of our day and about some of the most excluded and silenced people in our society. It is surely a good sign that the media, MPs and campaigners are sufficiently concerned about their plight that they take such an interest in this court’s new jurisdiction under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA). Yet there is a difficult balance to be drawn between protecting the privacy of the individuals and families at the heart of these cases, and ensuring that the wider democratic objective of transparency in our justice system is met. The Court of Protection is frequently described in the media as ‘secretive’, yet according to its judges this is an ‘old shibboleth’ which should be laid to rest. Despite judicial efforts to permit greater media access and reporting, the reality is that the Court of Protection does not function like other courts, and information about its activities is still relatively limited.

Late last month, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law two bills – AB2015 and SB1064 – which address the nightmare scenarios that can befall parents and their children caught up in the immigration system.

At 18 months, his mother scalded his hands so severely that they would be permanently deformed. Years of horrific abuse, including daily beatings by his father, followed before Child Protective Services stepped in. His childhood became a blur of dozens of foster home placements, which ended only when he turned 18. Then he was on his own. At one point, he ended up living under the Gulf Freeway overpass next to the Greyhound station in downtown Houston.

Danielle's Story
My three daughters have been gone for three and a half years. I've fought and still haven't got anywhere. They want to come home. They are in separate preadoptive homes. I don't know why they were placed there. I have been misrepresented and falsely accused. They want to adopt my girls real bad. I don't have much support not even for court. I go to trial November 27. I'm scared. I desperately need help! I can't lose my Kids!
From Irina
The following was submitted via the Content Submission form above.
-----------------
My name is Irina Viktorovna Vinogradova. I was born in Russia on 11 March 1969, I am only Russian citIzen. I live in New Caledonia from September 2007 and I am married here with a french from 07 November 2007. I born our son Alexandre G. on 17 June 2008 in Noumea, New Caledonia, where we still live, he is French and Russian sitizen.
In March 2010 I noticed a change in my son's behavior. He was very disturbed and sick for 2 months. At the end of May 2010, my son was sick again and on May 23, 2010, sperm flowed from his anus on his shorts. May 25, 2010, I made a statement (REF: PV: 10/3869/SU - RP: A) in the national police in Noumea New Caledonia, against the person Х. And let a prove - red shorts of my son with trace of sperm. But prosecutor refused with an expertise 4,5 months later and police closed our case. I was refused by laboratory to give son's shorts back for an independent expertise But a week later I was called by menadger of this laboratory and he said what court has to do all in order to the child has never alone with his father. And in the end, the sorts were lost.
In December 2010, I complained to the gendarme office because of the sexual abuse of our son and domestic violence. My husband spent two days in custody. And we didn't have any investigations about violance against the son.But in March 2011 the court gave son to his father for all time and I had to leave the house during 1 months as mother paranoid but I was at home as long as possible to protect my son from his father.
In the end of April 2011 I had to go to Australia to Sydney to change my passport. I couldn't take my son with me because the husband refused child went with me for one week. And I let my son with my mother-in-law that is with his grandmother. When I came back in the afternoon 30 April I found my son totally ill. Two times I went with son to the urgency for the medical examine of the child. One of examinations was done in presence of social worker from APEJ. After that doctor asked who gave the child to the father and he sent a fax to the prosecutor at the same day, but it was no reaction from the court.
3 months later on 12 July 2011, the son was taken from his father because of the letter from another doctor who did the medical observation of the child as well. But before June 28, 2011 I was get rid from home by my husband. After I lived with a girlfriend in her house during one month but my son was placed in foster care. After all of the little suffered, suddenly my son was among strangers. What a nightmare!
Later, this doctor wrote a letter to the police to investigate the application against child abuse. The police sent me with this letter to the prosecutor, but she refused to complete the survey.
The first of August 2011 I moved into my 2 rommed apartment where I prepared all very well for my son at the same time and I live alone, but the Judge decided to leave my son in the foster care, even when all examens about myself were very good. Only a psychiatrist says I'm paranoid after meeting with me an hour with a translator. He didn't any test. But another psychiatrist, which made very intense and specific test, said that I am normal. This was not accepted by the judge. The son has not even conducted a psychiatric examination normal. And from July 2011 antill November 2011 I had right to meet my son only 1 hour a week.
From November 2011 I have right to meet my child 2 times a month by 4 hours, the same was for his father just on another time, but the Court of Apeal in April 2012 gave more rights to his father and now he can meet son each week and to be alone with him, even now the Court of Noumea make practic to give son to his father with nights even with out informing me and my lawyer. As for me, I was refused to meet my son even for mothers day. And there is a risk what child can be given back to his father in November 2012. My mother's rights are violated! there is nothin against me, but my son lives as if he has no mother. And by husband I was introduced as the nurce, made and surrogate mother for own son. I have no contact with the husband or with his family.
Also the husband robbed 2 french passports of the son and these documents are never come back to my child and my son let the territory of New Caledonia just once in November 2008 for 2 weeks. I dared to stand up to protect my child and now my mothers rights are under violance. Also I was illegally denied with a residence permit for 10 years in November 2011. Being looking for the help everywhere I still have one hope to bring my defenseless little boy back to me, is to address this petition to all not indifferent people of our planet and asking to sign it. Please help, kind people!
