Crucial Evidence Suppressed: The Glue Ear Diagnosis

While other parts of the case were known, the most critical piece of medical evidence was deliberately hidden from the defense. My son had a documented medical diagnosis of 'Glue Ear' (Otitis Media with Effusion). This condition caused him significant pain and led him to constantly rub and pull at his ears creating the very marks that the prosecution claimed were 'non-accidental injuries.

By hiding this medical fact, Newport Social Services and the police ensured I couldn't provide a medical defense. This was not a mistake; it was the intentional suppression of evidence to secure a conviction.
