| False Allegations of Abuse a site prepared and provided by Allen Cowling and Cowling Investigations, Inc., for educational purposes and was designed to assist anyone who is facing a false accusation, false allegation or false allegations of child abuse, sexual abuse, child molesting, incest, rape or who has been wrongfully convicted, because of a false allegation. None of the material provided in the individual links identified below, should ever be relied on as a replacement for qualified legal assistance under any circumstances. http://www.allencowling.com/falseacc.htm |
ABUSE-EXCUSE.COM provides resource information and more to parents and others unjustly accused of child abuse, physical child abuse (including Shaken Baby Syndrome), child neglect, sexual child abuse, child pornography via the Internet, "repressed" memories, sexual harassment, or domestic violence (spousal abuse). We aim to help the falsely and wrongly accused to articulate scientific facts to child protection investigators, teachers, attorneys and judges, urging them to exercise caution in their "rush to judge" abuse calls. About 2/3 of all child abuse reports turn out to be unfounded, as errors or mistakes in professional judgment. Don't forget to check this page on Tips if You've Been Wrongly Accused of Child Abuse. |

By "in state care" we mean foster care, group homes, residential treatment, and kinship care. Our child welfare system often does not serve families in the most efficient manner possible. |
Foster Parent Legal Solution Plan “None of us expects our house to burn down, and we cross our fingers we won’t be burglarized. While not expecting allegations of abuse to children to be made against them, it is vitally important that foster parents acknowledge the possibility.” — Gordon Evans, National Foster Parent Association |
