On 4 March 2005, Justice Sir Michael Collins in the Royal Courts of Justice made the following statement when he was considering the case of Professor David Southall, who falsely accused Stephen Clark of murdering his young son.

“ He ( Prof. Southall ) did it ( accused Stephen Clark ) because he formed a view and he ( Prof. Southall ) believed it was in the best interests of the child. It is not  in any child’s best interest to make an allegation against an innocent parent based on limited information, for that child to then to be removed from loving parents; that is in itself, abuse”. 

Note: the Judge couldn't bring himself to use the second person singular. He used the third person 'he' ! )

F.A.C.T. is grateful to J.F. for bringing this to our notice
