THE HERNANDEZ FAMILY STORY

The Matthew and Wilairat Hernandez family has been torn apart due to false accusations of child abuse against the mother by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). This situation is not unique, as every year in the United States, approximately 3 million reports of child abuse are made involving more than 6 million children. However, studies suggest that up to 10% of these cases may be unfounded or unsubstantiated (source: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services). In this case, there is strong evidence and testimony of many family members and friends that indicate Mrs. Wilairat Hernandez has been falsely charged and arrested for abusing their seven-month-old daughter, Emma, and her family unjustly separated. Their children, Emma and Arya, 3-years-11-months old were removed and placed in foster care.

Thanks to your support, in June 2024, Emma and Arya were no longer under DFCS custody. They were released to live with their aunt and uncle, Matt and Tuckey were able to live together again, and visit their daughters without restriction. 

In June 2025, the verdict of Not Guilty was delivered in the criminal case against Matt and Tuckey Hernandez. After 2 years of fighting, the family is now reunited.
