Mother of Three Falsely Imprisoned For Child Abuse

This is a clear case of an abuse of power by authorities. Suzanne McHenry, a British citizen and mother of 3 children, has been falsely accused of burning her 4-year-old daughter with cigarettes, even though evidence indicates that the marks on the child's skin were the result of a Staphylococcus infection.

DHS removed the children from their home without a warrant and without even offering an explanation for their actions. In addition, the parents were not given any paperwork from the DHS, nor told where their children were taken to.

Suzanne McHenry, who has been described as a caring mother by those who know her, is currently being wrongly held against her will at the Crittenden County Jail on a $100,000 bond, which the family can not afford to pay. Here is the disturbing story from Action News 5 in Memphis, TN:

MARION, Arkansas (WMC-TV) - A Mid-South mother is charged with child abuse after investigators say she burned her 4-year-old daughter with lit cigarettes.

Prosecutor Lindsey Fairley says police received a tip claiming Suzanna McHenry had caused injuries to her young daughter.

"Officers got a call from the state police children's hotline about injuries to a 4-year-old. They investigated and found the child had numerous burn marks all over her body," said Fairley.

Marion police detective Mark McDougal says the girl told people at school that her mother had burned her.

A doctor who examined the child said the burns appeared to be caused by cigarettes.

But McHenry's friends and neighbors say she's innocent.

Her husband, Calvin McHenry, says his daughter had a staph infection that looked like burns.

"I just can't believe this has happened," he said.

The couple met online and have three children together. Suzanna McHenry, a British citizen, moved from England to Crittenden County.

"She's in the Crittenden County Jail on a $100,000 bond. I have no way to get that," said Calvin McHenry. "I'm trying to get legal representation. No lawyers want to talk to me. I've got no money. I don't have any kids here, no nothing."

Suzanne McHenry remains behind bars and is forbidden to contact her children.

I feel so bad for this family. They are being traumatized for absolutely no reason what so ever.

Scott Ellington's hands have been washed from this evil sin.

the big question is, what connections did the child murderer have to the officers that refused to investigate the stepfathers

how many other children since?

officers sudbury and steve jones. they knew they weren't going to pursue the perps so they forced the kids to sign a waiver so that Arkansas wouldn't be sued

if they hadn't, Ellington and the prison would have had them murdered before they were due to be released.

how do we know it's not the dad? He could get the kid to say her mother abused her. It could happen.
