Errors in Child Abuse Cases

Dean Tong had an article printed in NewsMax which discusses mistaken cases of child abuse. Tong gives a few examples of mistakes made in these cases that put innocent men and women behind bars, and he believes that these mistakes are becoming dangerously common. "What we don't know in alleged child physical and sexual abuse cases is coming back to haunt us. Social workers, police officers, therapists, guardians-ad-litem, lawyers, judges, teachers and legislators need a wake-up call that all is not well in America's child protection system. And the errors committed are hurting the very individuals we are trying to save from harm, our children!"
