Accusations of Molestation

What happens when family members take sides… against each other? Pam and her husband, Steve, have been fighting for five years over whether or not his son, Steven Jr., molested her granddaughter, Julia. They say they're headed to divorce court if they can't get to the bottom of this. Pam's daughter, Tashika, is convinced something happened to her daughter, and she says it's tearing her whole family apart. Steven Jr. maintains his innocence and doesn't understand why his family is turning their backs on him.
