Doctors know even less about infant brains than adult brains, and further research needs to be conducted. The number of otherwise excellent parents and carers who have been accused of abuse after telling the identical “lame” story should raise alarm bells. Just because shaking can cause the symptoms does not prove NOTHING but shaking can cause them. A broken arm does not “prove” a person has fallen out of a tree! Much research needs to be done to find out what is really happening in some of these cases. I hope someone will begin to collect DNA samples from children with these symptoms. Perhaps as DNA decoding becomes better and better, things can be discovered. Thank you, in any case, for bringing the debate to the attention of the public. Jurors are too easily persuaded that the predominant medical opinion is correct absent the information you provided in the article. If a child death cannot otherwise be explained, juries who are heartbroken by the death of an innocent too easily accept the opinions of “experts” whether based on solid science or not.
