A world where families are restored, truth is revealed and faith opens every door.

Families across the country are being torn apart, not by abuse, but by child-abuse pediatricians whose conclusions can override parents, specialists, and even basic common sense. Their decisions often determine whether a child is removed, whether a parent is criminally charged, and whether a family survives.

 

​There are many documented medical conditions — genetic, metabolic, bone-fragility, clotting/vascular, skin, neurological — that mimic injuries child-abuse pediatricians often interpret as signs of abuse.

Some of these conditions (for example, mild forms of bone-fragility disorders) have resulted in misdiagnoses of abuse — causing wrongful separation of children from innocent parents.

 

In many states — including under certain child-welfare investigation policies — records related to medical history, diagnostics, mental-health evaluations, and hospital reports are declared confidential or heavily restricted. This makes it nearly impossible for families to obtain full medical records.

Because of this, many parents cannot access the documentation needed to challenge accusations, request independent medical evaluations, or present alternate medical explanations.

 

​When child-abuse pediatricians trigger investigations or accusations, families are often forced to hire expensive legal representation, pay for repeated medical evaluations, and seek second (or third) opinions from specialists — geneticists, metabolic doctors, bone-disease experts, hematologists, vascular specialists — in an attempt to prove innocence.

 

Here’s what that means in real terms:

 

• Expert-witnesses and specialized medical professionals (in cases involving child abuse & neglect) typically charge hundreds of dollars per hour for reviews, depositions, and court appearances.  

• Custody and child-welfare cases often come with hidden costs beyond just attorneys filing fees, expert-witness fees, medical specialists, travel, repeated evaluations, and long court battles.  

• Some contested custody/abuse-allegation cases especially high-conflict ones or those needing deep forensic or medical reviews can easily cost families tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.  

 

Meanwhile child-abuse pediatricians are paid to stamp “abuse” on a medical chart and to testify in court. The burden of proof, the burden of cost, and the burden of emotional trauma all fall on the families.

 

But the system is exists to help, right?

In juvenile and child-welfare courts:

• Cases may proceed without jury trials.

• Hearings may be closed to the public.

• Parents may be denied full access to medical records or evidence.

• The burden to prove innocence often rests on the family not the state.

 

That means a parent can lose their children based largely on a medical opinion, with no guarantee of transparency, fairness, or real opportunity for defense.

​

• Loving, innocent parents losing custody.

• Children torn from safe homes, traumatized.

• Families crushed by overwhelming legal and medical debt.

• Lives destroyed over misdiagnosed medical conditions — not abuse.

• A system that shields its “experts” (Child Abuse Pediatricians) from accountability.

 

This foundation doesn’t just fight medical misinformation or biased expert testimony. We fight the financial injustice that comes when innocent families are forced to pay the highest price — in money, in time, in emotional damage — just to survive.

 

Your donations help us make changes so:

• That families receive full access to medical records when investigations begin; no more secrecy.

• That families have the right to independent second (and third) medical opinions without needing to choose between their child and financial ruin.

• That child-abuse pediatrician testimony be treated as one piece of evidence, not the final verdict.

• That juvenile and child-welfare courts guarantee due process, with public hearings, legal representation, fair standard of proof, open access to evidence.

• That when mistakes happen; when innocent families are torn apart there is accountability and financial support to rebuild lives.
