Innocent Californians can’t get off child abuse registry

March 12, 2010
Posted by Jules Siegel

By Robert Franklin, Esq.

Nine years ago, Craig and Wendy Humphries’ teen-​​aged daugh­ter was going through a rebel­lious stage and decided to show her par­ents a thing or two. So she reported them to child abuse author­i­ties. Her par­ents were duly arrested and their chil­dren placed in fos­ter care. Slowly, they were able to get out of jail and prove them­selves inno­cent of the charges against them. Indeed, more than one state court has ruled them to be “fac­tu­ally inno­cent” of the abuse charges. But their names remain on the Child Abuse Cen­tral Index along with 800,000 oth­ers. Why? Well, it seems that the state leg­is­la­ture, in its zeal to pun­ish child abusers, neglected to con­sider the pos­si­bil­ity of inno­cence, so it failed to pro­vide a process for remov­ing the names of those who had done noth­ing amiss.
