The "doctor" in question should end up getting the !#@$#%*^& beat out of him by both the mothers/fathers who had children wrongly removed & by the kids themselves . Might also help get the political types off there sorry dead asses if the offices get torched.

How about the Public Service Announcement running on TV, "If you even SUSPECT child abuse, please call 1-800-blah-blah-blah"

That would have been great at Salem, "If you even SUSPECT witchcraft (or would like to hurt a neighbor)..."

This is a good link for information on what to do if you get falsely accused. I've seen this happen too often and I for one would support the total break up of the CPS offices. Police officers are better trained at determining abuse than are these socialist losers.

Just read a news article of a "mother" who almost killed here infant daughter by injecting her with fecal matter. Claim of "Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy" was the defense.

In these civil cases, children were taken from their mothers on a balance of probability that they were harming them or might harm them in the future.

Stunning sentence.

I wonder when the Pandora box of children suing their parents, schools and doctors who wrongly drugged for their entire life with Ritalin will be opened by some poor kid who was drugged to a stupor for all his young life

A good example of what can happen when government starts interfering in private lives.

She added, however: "If a miscarriage of justice was made 10 or 15 years ago, what is in the child's interest now? If the adoption order was made on the back of Meadow's evidence and that was 10 years ago, what is in the real interest of the child? If they were taken as babies the only parent they know is the adopted one. It is incredibly difficult. It is a really tough call to make.

GIVE THE CHILDREN BACK TO THEIR PARENTS IF THE PARENTS WANT THEM BACK! I would want MY children back no matter what, and no matter when!!! Even 20 or 40 years from now, I would want to be reunited. They could let the kids decide.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy:

Mom Accused Of Injecting Human Waste Into Daughter
Test Results Show IV Fluid Contained Substance Consistent With Fecal Matter link
January 16, 2004

INDIANAPOLIS -- A 33-year-old mother is accused of repeatedly injecting human waste into her 21-month-old daughter to get attention, according to a report.
Tracie L. Fleck, 33, of Highland was being held Thursday in the Marion County Jail on $30,000 bond on 10 felony counts, including charges of aggravated battery and child neglect. Each count carries a penalty of from six to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Indianapolis police arrested Fleck after she was videotaped tampering with her 21-month-old daughter's IV tube in a room at the Riley Hospital for Children, according to a court affidavit.
Fleck may suffer from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a disorder in which people harm their own children in an attempt to get attention, said Dr. Roberta Hibbard, professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine and director of child protection programs at Riley.
Hospital officials became suspicious when the child continued to develop infections after receiving treatment. Doctors told police that Fleck had brought her daughter to the hospital 11 times beginning last March.
Two infectious-disease doctors traced the infection to the girl's IV tube and lab reports indicated the infection had resulted from fecal matter, according to court documents.
A hidden video camera was placed in the toddler's room on Jan. 8 and recorded Fleck placing a hand in her pocket and then both hands on the IV tube or pump, police said. It was not clear who put the camera in the room.
When questioned by investigators, Fleck said she had filled a syringe with baby formula, water and a drug being used to treat the child and twice used it to inject her daughter's IV, according to the affidavit.
Family and Social Services Administration spokesman Scott MacGregor said he could not comment on whether child protection workers were involved with the family.
