Sue Amphlett founded Parents Against Injustice in 1985 after her family was wrongly accused of child abuse. Her youngest daughter had fractures from minor falls but doctors initially suspected abuse. This led to an investigation where Sue and her family felt marginalized as strangers passed judgement on them. The process was long, traumatic and damaging as they tried to prove their innocence without support. Most people caught up in similar situations lose self-esteem and cannot cope as their life structure revolves around their children. Sue felt the process focused too much on child protection and not enough on properly investigating allegations and supporting families impacted.
