Aaron Adams is still trying to clear his name after being wrongly accused of abusing a six-month-old baby in 2008
Excerpts:
Adams is one of a growing number of North Texans, and others nationwide, accused of child abuse when the only evidence is unexplained fractures. In the last two years, News 8 has profiled North Texans Andrew Huber; Rana and Chad Tyson; Darlyn Harrell; and Adam Bonham. The Hubers and Tysons were eventually cleared.
“I’ve reviewed 120-130 cases of these unexplained fractures in children and know, that is my opinion, that these families did not hurt their children,” said Dr. Charles Hyman, “And there are medical explanations.”
Hyman has been a pediatrician for more than 40 years. He was once head of a hospital child abuse unit, leaving when he refused to testify in cases where he says factual evidence outweighed theory.
He now speaks out and testifies on behalf of parents who he considers to be wrongly accused of abuse.
