117 days.

That was how long our family was in limbo. It might not sound like that much, but when your whole life is turned upside down, it's an eternity. My husband had to live with relatives because he was falsely accused of child abuse. My daughter and I were forced to live alone. Almost 4 months: June 6, 2009 to October 1,2009., and we were one of the lucky ones. I've found stories online of people whose battles lasted YEARS.
There are lots of stories online. There are lots of stories out there. The figures out there would shock you. In PA alone, in 2007, 24,021 reports of suspected child and student abuse were received , only
4,162 reports of suspected child and student abuse were substantiated.
Approximately 20,000 families went through this in 2007 and there was not enough SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE to render a "verdict" of guilty in their cases.

Lawyers and law enforcement officers know never to put themselves in a situation where they could be alone with any child in their homes. Did you? We didn't.

Children across the country have playdates everyday. As a parent, you need to know the danger that puts you in.
Don't think it can't happen to you.
It can.
