Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you or a loved one has been falsely accused of child abuse your life has changed forever. This type of crime comes with a cloud of fear that will result in many people rushing to judge you with little or no information about the allegation. It can cause families to be ripped apart, long time friendships to disintegrate and countless others to side against you despite your innocence. You need to take steps to protect yourself and your family as soon as you learn about the allegation. It is highly unlikely everything will simply disappear and you can return to your life as before. Depending on how far your accusers have taken the accusation you may already be farther along in the system then you realize. This book is a candid first-hand account of my experience fighting false allegations of child sexual abuse against me. My goal is to help others who have been falsely accused understand what is ahead of them so they can properly prepare themselves and their families for the legal, emotional and financial challenges that lie ahead. I speak very openly about the emotional toll it took on me and my family, how the system operates and treats the accused and steps you can take to prove your innocence as I did. If you or a loved one has been accused, you are in for a battle for your life and I hope my story will help you understand what is ahead so you can win that battle.
Book Synopsis Don't Blame Me, Daddy by : Dean Tong
Download or read book Don't Blame Me, Daddy written by Dean Tong and published by Dean Tong. This book was released on 1992 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting the increase in false accusations of child sexual abuse where divorce and custody litigation is in progress, this book examines the consequences of such accusations for everyone involved and provides defensive strategies for those falsely accused. The book draws on four case studies, including a personal one, to illustrate the chronology and effects of false allegations brought by the mother against the father, noting commonalities among the cases, and personality traits of the accuser and of the accused. The effects of false allegations and subsequent proceedings on the child are also detailed. The book then explores this phenomenon as "Sexual Allegations in Divorce" or SAID Syndrome, and identifies "red flags" during proceedings that suggest this syndrome may be occurring. The book also examines how social service agencies and courts appear to work in concert to substantiate false allegations rather than investigating to determine the truth, and how therapeutic interventions, when no abuse occurred, can affect children. The dubious use of anatomically correct dolls as evidence of sexual abuse in such cases is also examined. Finally, the book summarizes the legal and social service problems inherent to such cases, offering solutions, and then presents legal and emotional strategies for fighting false allegations. Three appendices include a questionnaire for identifying SAID syndrome, guidelines for determining presence of abuse, and a court monitor checklist. A list of support organizations is included, along with state listings of the Vocal National Network and a 29-item bibliography. (HTH)
Book Synopsis True And False Allegations Of Child Sexual Abuse by : Tara Ney

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important for society that the backlash does not result in the reburial of the problem of child sexual abuse. ‘True and False Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse’ represents an important contribution to that effort. This book is about conducting evaluations of allegations of child sexual abuse that take into account research knowledge and practice wisdom. It is not a cookbook about how to do evaluations. Rather, it provides a great deal of food for thought and is aimed at child abuse professionals who can critically read and test the material against their experiences in the field. It includes a wide spectrum of information, approaches, and opinions about child sexual abuse evaluation.
Book Synopsis Lives Forever Changed by : Philip Kramer
Download or read book Lives Forever Changed written by Philip Kramer and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday, adults are falsely accused of abuse crimes that they did not commit. Many of these accusations come from children who have hidden agendas of their own, separated or divorced parents, or from mistaken interpretations from strangers. These allegations take away from the legitimate cases of abuse that have actually occurred, and cause needless suffering to those victimized by lies. While many cases of child abuse are real, this book shows the other side of the equation...where innocent adults are accused of horrendous crimes when they were completely innocent. The result is the incorrect prosecutions and convictions of thousands of adults who have faced the wrath of law enforcement and the judicial processes that contrary to belief at times, makes one guilty until proven innocent. Hundreds of child sexual abuse allegations are investigated by the authorities and social service agencies every day. Studies by both governmental agencies and professional experts show that up to 2/3 of the allegations turn out to be lies made against the innocent. What is more frightening is that an innocent adult that is charged with crimes against children has over a 90% chance that they will be convicted. The odds are greater that an adult will be investigated for a child abuse crime than the chance of the same adult being bitten by a strange dog or stung by a bee in their lifetime. If you do not think that you could face a false allegation, this book will change your belief. Should you be facing this nightmare, very little information is available on what you and your family will face during the sequence of events yet to transpire. Written by a parent who was falsely accused of child sex abuse, the author takes the reader through every part of the nightmarish ordeal of defending one's self in order to preserve their freedom. Written from the perspective of a person who actually successfully fought the false allegations made towards him, the reader will come to understand what would be in store for them should it become their turn in the future. The book was written as a guide, taking the reader through the initial arrest and police investigation process, all the way to the trial that determines their ultimate fate. In between, this book covers how to select the appropriate defense counsel, how to prepare one's case when no beneficial evidence seems to exist, and explains the inner workings of both the law enforcement and social service agencies...and how each always gives the benefit of the doubt to the accuser while disregarding what the accused knows to be proof that the accusations are lies. This guide has been written in an easy to follow manner; explaining the technical legal jargon and processes to be faced, so that the innocent reader can properly defend their self. This book was not written to cover the particular specifics of the author, but has been designed to be of assistance to any person facing unspeakable allegations. The author includes small "It Happened to Me" sections throughout the work, so that the reader can understand how the information presented actually related to the experience of the writer. Just as important, the author explains the different emotions that will be faced, along with how interactions with personal, work, and media relations once an allegation is made will forever change the accused's life. Thousands of innocent individuals have been falsely accused, prosecuted, and convicted. No one who is accused of horrendous crimes will be believed until possibly a trial occurs, and each person wrongly accused will be determined to be guilty from the start. Your friends, family, loved ones, and people you care about need to know this information now; before it is ever needed.

Download or read book My Lie written by Meredith Maran and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meredith Maran lived a daughter's nightmare: she accused her father of sexual abuse, then realized, nearly too late, that he was innocent. During the 1980s and 1990s, tens of thousands of Americans became convinced that they had repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse, and then, decades later, recovered those memories in therapy. Journalist, mother, and daughter Meredith Maran was one of them. Her accusation and estrangement from her father caused her sons to grow up without their only grandfather, divided her family into those who believed her and those who didn't, and led her to isolate herself on "Planet Incest," where "survivors" devoted their lives, and life savings, to recovering memories of events that had never occurred. Maran unveils her family's devastation and ultimate redemption against the backdrop of the sex-abuse scandals, beginning with the infamous McMartin preschool trial, that sent hundreds of innocents to jail—several of whom remain imprisoned today. Exploring the psychological, cultural, and neuroscientific causes of this modern American witch-hunt, My Lie asks: how could so many people come to believe the same lie at the same time? What has neuroscience discovered about the brain's capacity to create false memories and encode false beliefs? What are the "big lies" gaining traction in American culture today—and how can we keep them from taking hold? My Lie is a wrenchingly honest, unexpectedly witty, and profoundly human story that proves the personal is indeed political—and the political can become painfully personal.
Book Synopsis Catholic Priests Falsely Accused by : David F. Pierre
Download or read book Catholic Priests Falsely Accused written by David F. Pierre and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must continue to demand justice and compassion for victims of Catholic clergy abuse. This is not optional. Time and time again in recent years, Catholics and non-Catholics alike have been horrified by hideous stories of wretched abuse and betrayal. However, there is a side of the Catholic Church abuse narrative that is not getting the attention it warrants. Countless priests in the United States have been falsely accused of committing horrendous child abuse. Topics in this book include: ... how the most recent figures indicate that one third of accused priests have been accused falsely; ... the stunning court declaration with the opinion from a retired FBI investigator that "one half" of all accusations are "entirely false" or "greatly exaggerated"; ... the American cardinal who has been the target of two bogus abuse charges; ... how accusers have retained huge monetary settlements even though their allegations later proved to be false; ... the father of an accuser who appeared at the funeral of an accused priest and apologized for the false allegation that his son leveled; ... the Catholic archbishop who tells of being spat upon by a member of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests); ... the monsignor who waited five years to be exonerated of abuse charges even though his alleged victims denied that they were molested; plus much more.

This courageous book provides hope for establishing a deeper understanding of the broad system of child protection and consequently, enables professionals to better handle individual crises and cases.

Download or read book Accused written by Tonya Craft and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of a woman who prevailed against the most heinous accusations imaginable. Tonya Craft, a Georgia kindergarten teacher and loving mother of two, never expected a knock on her door to change her life forever. But in May 2008, false accusations of child molestation turned her world upside down. The trial that followed dragged her reputation through the mud and lent nationwide notoriety to her name. Tonya's life spiraled into a witch-trial nightmare in which she was deemed guilty before her innocence could be determined by a jury. Her children were taken away without even a goodbye, and her own daughter was forced to take the stand against her in a courtroom. The situation seemed hopeless, and Tonya was shell-shocked and heartbroken. But that didn't keep her from finding the strength to fight. Over the course of two terrifying years, Tonya rallied to take charge of her own defense, flying across the country and knocking on doors on a desperate quest for answers, and defying her own lawyers on more than one occasion. Tonya's goal was not only to avoid conviction; it was to clear her name, and, most of all, regain custody of her children. Accused is about more than Tonya's shocking trial and fight for justice. It is the story of a mother's extraordinary love, the faith that sees her through it all, and the forgiveness that sets her free.
Book Synopsis The Witch-Hunt Narrative by : Ross E. Cheit
Download or read book The Witch-Hunt Narrative written by Ross E. Cheit and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980s, a series of child sex abuse cases rocked the United States. The most famous case was the 1984 McMartin preschool case, but there were a number of others as well. By the latter part of the decade, the assumption was widespread that child sex abuse had become a serious problem in America. Yet within a few years, the concern about it died down considerably. The failure to convict anyone in the McMartin case and a widely publicized appellate decision in New Jersey that freed an accused molester had turned the dominant narrative on its head. In the early 1990s, a new narrative with remarkable staying power emerged: the child sex abuse cases were symptomatic of a 'moral panic' that had produced a witch hunt. A central claim in this new witch hunt narrative was that the children who testified were not reliable and easily swayed by prosecutorial suggestion. In time, the notion that child sex abuse was a product of sensationalized over-reporting and far less endemic than originally thought became the new common sense. But did the new witch hunt narrative accurately represent reality? As Ross Cheit demonstrates in his exhaustive account of child sex abuse cases in the past two and a half decades, purveyors of the witch hunt narrative never did the hard work of examining court records in the many cases that reached the courts throughout the nation. Instead, they treated a couple of cases as representative and concluded that the issue was blown far out of proportion. Drawing on years of research into cases in a number of states, Cheit shows that the issue had not been blown out of proportion at all. In fact, child sex abuse convictions were regular occurrences, and the crime occurred far more frequently than conventional wisdom would have us believe. Cheit's aim is not to simply prove the narrative wrong, however. He also shows how a narrative based on empirically thin evidence became a theory with real social force, and how that theory stood at odds with a far more grim reality. The belief that the charge of child sex abuse was typically a hoax also left us unprepared to deal with the far greater scandal of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church, which, incidentally, has served to substantiate Cheit's thesis about the pervasiveness of the problem. In sum, The Witch-Hunt Narrative is a magisterial and empirically powerful account of the social dynamics that led to the denial of widespread human tragedy.
Book Synopsis The Conspiracy by : Monsignor William McCarthy
Download or read book The Conspiracy written by Monsignor William McCarthy and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conspiracy chronicles the monumental struggles of an innocent priest, Monsignor William McCarthy, falsely accused in 2003 of molesting two young sisters more than 23 years earlier. On the eve of his retirement from a stellar career as a priest and pastor, for the next five tortuous years, he was the victim of an anonymous complaint that was accepted as true by his bishop and friend of 40 years. Share his travails and see how ones faith can overcome the worst injustices that man can heap on a holy and totally innocent person." -- Jack Kraft, Esq. Monsignor William McCarthy paints a picture embracing a situation that is almost impossible to comprehend. Had I not stood by him throughout the years of pure hell he experienced, I would not have believed the outright calumny by a detective, and how the subsequent action of his bishop and diocesan staff could have occurred. Child abuse is a terrible thing, but equally horrible is when innocent priests are unjustly condemned and destroyed by the hierarchy of their church. -- Arthur N. Hoagland, M.D. This book is a must read for any Catholic who loves their Church but is concerned about its often self-destructive response to the tragedy of clerical pedophilia. It is story about tragedy and triumph. The tragedy of the Church that Monsignor McCarthy loves deeply, and into which he has selflessly devoted his entire life, but is sometimes governed by people who have lost all sense of justice. It is a Church that betrayed him. In its attempt to protect the victims of child abuse, it established a new category of victims: its faithful priests. The triumph of Monsignor McCarthy is his faith and love of Jesus, which saw him through his terrible ordeal in spite of the evil that was perpetrated against him. -- Deacon Joseph Keenan
