Is it totally unreasonable for the government to interview the child's therapist and other medical professionals treating this child before coming to a conclusion of abuse ?

Which brings me back to my wonderment in post #201 about why the therapist was not permitted to testify and whether the child's pediatrician or other doctors were called to testify.

As Carrie-Okie pointed out, since the proceedings were confidential, we do not know who testified and who was not permitted to testify. That knowledge would be helpful in answering many of the debated questions on this thread.

There are two likely scenarios: 1. CPS is running roughshod on these people, or 2. The therapist has questionable practices. Finding out who the therapist is would very quickly resolve much of the questions here.
