First, SBS is a phrase that is used in connection with suspected child abuse. It is based on a triad of injuries connected to the head / brain and neck. Many people have absorbed the possibility of a way to pin point a way to identify injuries that can be connected to abuse. The mere suspicion of abuse brings up a gauntlet of support for innocent babies. (http://voices.yahoo.com/shaken-baby-syndrome-fading-time-12574345.html?cat=70)
The premise that a court room will filter out and arrive at a fair and just outcome is well basically “ignorant”. Our family court system is really messed up( http://voices.yahoo.com/family-court-12572300.html). Our court system in general is flawed. It has turned into more of a chess match where by the object is not so much justice as it is doing whatever it takes to win. Be it lying, withholding evidence, stalling and so many other legal loopholes in efforts to conceal facts.
Essentially, my opinion is that yes babies can and will be hurt by incompetent caregivers. It is a sad fact. Unfortunately it happens.
But, to ignore competent research in favor of false allegations and prosecution pursued in an attempt to win a case is insane. And needs to STOP! Any case that goes to family court or even criminal court that proposes to remove a child from its parents needs the up most care and sanctity.
So many ignore the mere mention of anything that discredits SBS. My years of experience in life have given me a perspective that simply says.”there is nothing wrong with being ignorant, only in wanting to stay that way”. Even at the risk of removing a child from its loving family. All on a basis that some doctors and experts have held that the triad of injuries is irrefutable. If its so irrefutable why would well respected doctors with years of experience discount it? Does anyone really believe that there is a conspiracy a foot to protect those that would hurt a child?

The human instinct to protect innocent babies is a strong advisory against those that only want true justice served. Until those that continue to adhere to outdated medical research,are convinced that not all caregivers are heartless out of control stress related brutal child abusers, will the tide turn
