PROSECUTED BUT NOT SILENCED: THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET In Prosecuted but not Silenced, Maralee McLean exposes the dirty secret that most of the public is blissfully unaware of. The secret is that our custody court system routinely fails to protect children from dangerous abusers and especially sexual predators. Research shows that mothers make deliberate false allegations of abuse less than 2% of the time, 85% of child abuse allegations result in custody to the alleged abuser. That means the courts are sentencing many children to a childhood living with their rapists. Maralee McLean is an author, public speaker and child advocate and she wrote “Prosecuted but Not Silenced” to help the public learn what frequently happens in child custody courts and to help dispel the myth that such cases are rare. This book is a personal story placed in the context of scientific research. Join us as we talk about “Prosecuted but Not Silenced,” a true and shameful story of the child custody court system.
