A totally unjust situation. Even if she did not have a history of mental illness and making false accusations an accusation should not be considered to be close to proof of guilt. I think part of the problem here is caused by the fact the domestic abuse was not treated seriously enough in many cases so political pressure was brought to bare and it pushed things too far. No an allegation of abuse can ruin your life even if it is not backed up by evidence. This is even more true when it is alleged abuse of a child. Tim

The wife was surrounded by victims advocacy agencies encouraging her to take further action. This is a part I can really attest to. I have several times dealt with cases in which certain womens organizations got involved who had very definite radical feminist agendas, and put those agendas ahead of the interests of the women they were supposedly helping. Since they weren't lawyers or counselors but just "friends" they had no legal liabilty for their "advice." But their agenda to prove that every male is a batterer and every woman a victim destroyed more than one woman's life. Been there, seen that.
