Families left devastated by false claims of FGM in girls Some children in the UK have spent months on child protection plans - or in foster care - on the false suspicion they are victims of female genital mutilation, a BBC report has found.
The BBC understands that it can take months for children to be examined in cases where FGM is suspected.
Children can be separated from their parents while inquiries take place.
Experts say that in the majority of cases, when examined by a specialist, it turns out the child has not had FGM. BBC News
