    Why would a child give various stories at the hospital.

    What has your attorney said, in these cases you can lose your children forever to the state. You should have gotten an attorney from day one.

    Often the hospital judges calling also on the actual injury, since how a bone is broken often tells them a lot.

    The charge could be anything from and including simple assault to child abuse - how old is the child?

    I would question why a child would lie about something like this. I can tell you with accidents and any neglect charge I have ever investigated the first story told to the ambulance crew, Police, Fire Department or hospital is the one that the Court goes by.

    Maybe there are exceptions but I have never seen one - the first story that is told is usually the truth UNLESS there is criminal activity and someone is attempting to shield someone - such as "who was driving?"
