STORY: "We took our boy to A and E with a bump on his head...then we were banned from being alone with kids for seven months," by Nick Owens, published in the Mirror on April 29, 2012.
GIST: "A couple were banned from being alone with their two young children after they were wrongly accused of abusing their baby. Worried Chris and Julia Norton took 10-week-old Harry to hospital when a lump appeared on his head... but doctors blamed THEM for causing the injury. Harry was later diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare brittle-bone disease which means a light touch can snap his bones. But it was seven months before the ordeal was over.........Julia and Chris, 46, first took Harry to Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridge after a bruise appeared on his chest in 2009. Doctors thought it was an allergic reaction to a spider bite and he was sent home. But more bruises followed. And when the lump appeared on his head, his anxious parents took him back to hospital. Julia said: “The doctor asked if we knew where it had come from. Then she said they were trained to suspect abuse. I couldn’t believe we were accused of harming our baby.”
