False Allegations Support
http://www.protectourfamilies.com
Wally and Debby Hines have personally lived through the nightmare of false allegations. Their son was improperly diagnosed as an abused child and they were subsequently accused of child abuse. Their flight and pursuit for justice caught the attention of 20/20 and their story and follow-up were broadcast nationwide. Their story ends happily as their child was returned home thanks to the accurate diagnosis of Brittle Bone Disease.SBS Resource
