Father assumed to be abuser

Story here. A sad story about how the government can abuse parents mistakenly accused of abuse--and how the government assumes fathers are the likely perpetrators. Excerpt:

'"I knew as soon as I saw Dr. Reed’s face that something was terribly wrong,” Alice says. The x-rays showed that several of Liliana’s ribs were broken. “These injuries are nonaccidental,” Dr. Reed told them. Someone has squeezed your baby, probably to make her stop crying, Alice recalls him saying. The doctors did more tests to check for other injuries. Alice began sobbing loudly.

People in white coats peppered Miguel [the father] with questions. What had happened? Did he drink a lot? Get angry? Shake the baby? Miguel was shocked speechless.
...

The Alexandria police knew where and when the Velasquezes were seeing their baby. That’s when they decided to arrest Miguel for felony child abuse.
...
In the spring, the public defender in Miguel’s criminal case finally got a court order to test the child. The results didn’t come back until September. But when they did, they confirmed Liliana had osteogenesis imperfecta type I. The main symptom: fractures.

When he heard about the diagnosis, the prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Roger Canaff, consulted Dr. Craig. She wrote later in a memo that the test was “experimental in nature,” and that doctors looking at the x-rays of a child with OI should see evidence of the faulty bones. Liliana’s bones, she said, looked “completely normal.” Other military doctors, then and later on the witness stand, said the same.
...
A settlement was reached, but there was no assignment of wrongdoing. The Velasquezes were, however, awarded $950,000. About half went for legal fees and expenses. A trust fund of $150,000 was set aside for Liliana. As far as is publicly known, no one at the hospitals or in social services was fired or reprimanded. The foster-care giver was not found negligent.'
