Wrongly accused parents - Differential rates of CA in migrant families from different areas

["Oddone Virginio" <oddovir@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some questions:

1). Wrongly accused parents, especially in sexual cases. What happens after
they are found not guilty? I have cases in which persons have been found
not guilty (in one case the accusations against the father had been
fabricated, beyond any reasonable doubt, by his former wife family), yet -
for a number of reasons - are definitively cut off from their offspring. Is
there any research on it or, even better, operative program or intervention
protocol? In one case, Prosecution is thinking of accusing the other parent
of maltreatment against the child.

2). Parents who induce the child to accuse the other parent (or his/her new
companion), or do in some way stimulate the building up of such kind of
"truths" by the child. I haven't seen any posting on the issue, nor found
researches. Is there some information?

3). Back to child discipline and culture. I'm in search of data about
differential rates of child abuse and "harsh discipline" in different
national and ethnic groups of recent migrants to Europe (i.e. differential
rates - if any - between, say, families coming from Maghreb countries,
those of the Horn of Africa, Albania, other Balcanian states, etc.).

Thanks

Virginio
