A quick definition of Victims of Child Abuse Laws:

Victims of Child Abuse Laws (VOCAL) is a group of people who say they were accused of hurting children in a wrong way. They believe they are innocent and have been wrongly blamed. VOCAL is an organization that helps these people and supports them. It is different from the False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

A more thorough explanation:

Victims of Child Abuse Laws (VOCAL) is an organization made up of individuals who believe they have been falsely accused of sexually abusing children. They claim that they are victims of a legal system that has failed to protect their rights and has instead punished them for crimes they did not commit.

For example, a person may be accused of sexually abusing a child based on the testimony of the child, even if there is no physical evidence to support the claim. The accused person may then be arrested, charged, and possibly convicted of the crime, even if they are innocent.

VOCAL argues that false accusations of child abuse can be the result of a number of factors, including mistaken identity, malicious intent, or the influence of therapists or other professionals who may have a bias towards believing that abuse has occurred.

The organization seeks to raise awareness about the issue of false accusations of child abuse and to advocate for changes in the legal system that will better protect the rights of the accused.
