ELUSIVE INNOCENCE: Survival Guide For The Falsely Accused

"The Best Non-Fiction Book I have ever read."
- David Zublick,
Host of the GoodFather Radio Show at www.prospank.com

"Dean Tong's encyclopedic work Elusive Innocence designed to jolt parents, teachers, coaches, and other child care workers out of a false sense of compliancy, delivers as advertised. Accusations of child abuse are skyrocketing yet, as a 1998 study established, 71% were unfounded and false, created only for leverage in protracted divorce cases, custody battles, and money disputes. The consequences are drastic; severe prison sentences, destroyed reputations, lost jobs and worse -- lost children. Elusive Innocence is a roadmap for innocent victims to escape the nightmare. This book should be required reading for any parent, lawyer, or social worker, involved in divorce and child custody disputes. Tong delivers copious practical details on how to hire a lawyer, handle psychological testing, seek experts, establish evidence of innocence, and find support groups. This book fills the missing link in child abuse literature - overcoming the false accusation".
Roy Black, Esq.,
Criminal Defense Attorney for William Kennedy Smith
"I recommend this book for every Healthcare Provider, Attorney, Judge, and citizen of our society. Dean Tong has written a powerful book on the rights of children to know both parents and to have a 'sense' of who they are.
It is a 'sin' for any parent to be robbed of his/her rights to know their children. Dean Tong has written an important book and made his point very well".

"Dean Tong is wrong: The biggest beneficiaries of his book are not those who are falsely accused. It should be must reading for every governmental official charged with the protection of our children, especially those hardened into assuming the guilt of every defendant."
