Christine Collins

Christine Collins was a single mother in Los Angeles whose 9-year-old son, Walter, disappeared in 1928. She reported him missing, but months later, the police returned a boy claiming to be Walter. Collins was convinced he wasn't her son, but authorities insisted he was. Her persistent questioning exposed corruption and led to the boy’s return being questioned. Ultimately, the true Walter was found alive, and Collins’s determined fight for her son’s identity highlighted issues of wrongful accusation and police misconduct, inspiring awareness about justice and child safety.
