I was wrongly accused and it has taken YEARS to finally clear my name (sort of)
I want people to be aware of this and how even after CP investigation and you’ve provided all proof that it doesn’t get taken off yours or children’s records .....it remains ‘just in case’
Suspicions were raised around us for the following reasons
-multiple medical conditions (ones that are deemed ‘red flag’ conditions (gastrointestinal, EDS and allergies)
-the fact I asked for additional support
It basically involved a game of Chinese whispers between professionals and got very scary very quickly.
Very difficult to get anyone to listen to us or speak to consultants instead the whole thing seemed to be led by educational settings and community healthcare workers and there was very little communication until we had a brilliant social worker who w actualky spoke to the consultants.
The case was eventually closed but we never got the dla back for one child and it has to still be kept on all of our records everywhere
It’s unfortunately not an isolated incident. FII is actually very very rare but numbers of parents being accused of it are far too high and there is training given identifying ‘red flag conditions’ which is concerning
