You are not alone.
Innocent families around the world are being devastated by the medical misdiagnosis of child abuse, made by doctors who neglect the latest research and evidence-based medicine.
The Honest Diagnosis Project exists as a movement. The push to improve integrity in child protection and to champion family-centered medicine that prioritizes the well-being of both children AND their families.
We advocate for truth, transparency, and reform in a system that too often harms those it’s meant to protect.
We Believe
Medical diagnoses should be differential + honest about limits
Families deserve due process and dignity
Child protection must be rooted in accurate + up-to-date science
No family should lose their children based on uncertain or disputed medical conclusions
No one should have immunity that shields them from accountability
Suspicion does not equal proof
Families + science are on the same team. True justice depends on both
Why It’s Important
These cases are treated as certain when they are not. Once an abuse diagnosis is made by a medical professional, it triggers child welfare and legal action that is extremely difficult to undo, even when later evidence raises doubt.
The Honest Diagnosis Project was created because:
This problem is systemic, not rare
Children and families are being harmed in the name of protection
The public has not been told how often this happens and how much uncertainty actually exists
There are a lot of amazing organizations doing work to help families who find themselves in this nightmare, but there is not one central hub for organizing and movement. This is that hub.
