Medical Kidnapping

We are a Canadian federally incorporated non-profit dedicated to helping families who are falsely accused of child abuse. We raise awareness of this common, yet overlooked, systemic issue and advocate for legislative change to prevent the medical kidnapping of sick children.

Our mission also includes holding child protection agencies and their contracted physicians accountable for their actions.

What would you do if you brought your SICK child to a hospital to get help and instead of diagnosis and treatment you were accused of having caused whatever was wrong with them?

What if you got immediately hotlined and lost custody on the spot while still in the ER, without a court order?

For many families across Canada, this isn't a hypothetical nightmare. It's a devastating reality.

Watch W5’s Dubious Diagnosis to see examples of kidnappings of misdiagnosed children in Hamilton and Waterloo.

What is medical kidnapping? FALSE child abuse accusation based on an assessment of a SICK child by Child advocacy pediatricians (SCAN) contracted by Family and Children’s Services in children’s hospitals leading to apprehension of your child and/or criminal charges against you.
