Ashes to Ashes... Families to Dust

ASHES to ASHES... Families to Dust is a hard hitting reference handbook for parents, attorneys, therapists, educators and students, concerned with the popular trend, but unpopular issue, of false child abuse allegations.

Has our child "protection" system become a cattle-like herding industry? Are legitimate child abuse complaints neglected due to a plethora of unfounded reports? Where would one turn to find the 'Wal-Mart' self-help guide to false accusations of child abuse?

Ashes to Ashes will answer these questions and more. It is the sequel to Tong's groundbreaking 1992 book, Don't Blame ME, Daddy.

DON'T BLAME ME, DADDY

Don't Blame ME, Daddy provides help in distinguishing between true and false allegations of child sexual abuse. It was written to remind all Americans that not every allegation of abuse is well-founded or made in good faith.

It should be required reading for the other victims of false charges: social workers, therapists, guardians-ad-litem, attorneys, judges, teachers, police officers and lawmakers.
