I am in a child protection situation too. What has taken place is unbelievable & my solicitor says there's nothing we can do, because Child Protection runs the entire court system & none of what is going on can be disclosed to anyone, so the system is not made transparent.
I have had to go onto anti-depressants to try to cope with the false allegations & keep going.
I have tried to find a support system, but I have found nothing & nobody from any other support group can pass me on to anyone, because they know of nothing set up for people who are victims of the system. It's quite convenient.
I ask that you contact me, so we can at least support each other & if you know of anything else out there, hopefully, you can pass that information on too. This has got to be stopped. It can't be if we're all kept apart.
If anyone else is in this boat, please feel free to contact me so we can interact.

The more you try to defend yourself by claiming to be a "good" guy, the more guilty you look. You claim to be a single father with a bachelors degree in child develpment, with a career as a kindergarten teacher. My problem with your statement is that you are more concerned with your outcome than of the childs' who was abused. Your girlfriend put you in charge of her 15 month old son and the charge is against you for the abuse. Why didn't you come forward and inform the bruises were there prior to her dropping off the child. There is no reason a 15 month old should have bruises on their stomach unless someone caused them. I think the police and the hospital are correct with investigating the both of you. Instead of being concerned of how the child got the bruises, you are more concerned about jail time. I would say you are guilty, but I'm not on that jury. I will pray as well for that baby boy to get the justice he deserves. It was either you or his mother that put those bruises there. Fess up or deal with everyone knowing on judgement day. Thank you and GOD bless all his children.

It is necessary for them, the hospital and cops, to investigate this. If you haven't yet been charged, then simply be calm and answer their questions as honestly as you can. Think of answering their questions as trying to help the police find out what really happened.
I personally know a case in which a woman accused the step-son of her ex-husband of sexually abusing their daughter. (Please note: The accused child was only 10 years old). After just the first day, the detective told the boy's mother and step-father that he was cleared of all charges, but they still had to go through the interviews.

I'm a bit curious why they are jumping to conclusions of child abuse, since physical child abuse would be highly unlikely to be directed to the abdomen on a 15 month old. On the other hand abdominal bruising could well be from medical causes that would cause me some concern.
Forget about your own problems, get that child to a competent doctor.

I wish there could be something positive to tell you but there are many ones who are truly innocent and placed in prison under the same branding. and many of them have no choice but to do the time why this is so prevalent is beyond my present comprehension. the hospital was doing what the law of protection from abuse has said they must do. as far as who is responsible for finding the truth, other agencies do that and they are not kind at all. a message is being sent to the would be abuser but when the law scoops down to pick them up, there are innocent ones included in such a scoop yet they fail in their efforts and ability to seperate the innocent ones from the guilty.

You had better get the best lawyer you can. A man charged with ANYTHING like that is up a creek. I had a client who had custody of his four year old daughter. She got a vaginal infection. The DOCTOR gave him some medication and told him to apply it to the area once a day. The client was not happy about that, but did so for his daughter's health. The daughter told he mom that "Daddy touches my private part." Even with the doctor's testimony, the client did four years for child molestation. It is a rough world for guys. If the mom had applied the medicine, nobody would have said a word. Best of luck. YBIC

Don't argue with them. When they interview you, be honest and don't be argumentative.
Get a lawyer to review beforehand, but don't bring the lawyer with you. Doing so escalates the situation.
You past history is going to play an important role. How you reacted is going to play an important role.
"They" don't want you to go to jail. What "they" want is to ensure that the child is not endangered. Be that actual abuse or neglect.

Get an attorney. That is the only advise I can give. This will effect your future! You could lose your ability to teach, you could end up on abuse registries which will effect you getting even the simpliest of jobs. GET AN ATTORNEY!

After interpreting what might want to be your spouse's component of the tale. it variety of feels you've held out on some options. woman beaters are the most disgusting variety of guy that exists. And as someone who has been immediately tormented by it- i will inform you this...you could or might want to no longer have touched your infant yet you've abused them. anytime they talked about you hit their mom, anytime they felt helpless and scared as you lost administration-they hated you merely somewhat extra. The nightmares that you bring about in a baby who's scared to leave her mummy on my own at the same time with her father at the on the spot are not easily eraseable. your children do no longer opt for to confirm you on the on the spot and perhaps you would possibly want to settle for that and allow them the prospect to heal and characteristic a settled existence, loose from arguments and fights. perhaps at the same time as they are older they are going to opt for contact with you yet at 7 and 5years previous, they are previous adequate to state their own options.

I'm sorry, that sucks. I guess you need to get a good lawyer. And try to find out what the bruises are from. Does he have any kind of walker or seat that could bruise his stomach???? Depending on what size or shape the bruises are from could prove what did it.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
