It is interesting to reflect on the myriad applications of abuse-neglect allegations. Just like a clothing store, there is a "size and color" for anybody, any age, any gender.

You might be a brand new parent who takes your baby back to the doctor SEVEN DAYS after delivery because "something's not right". Examination reveals a cracked skull. You find yourselves instantly accused of child abuse. "After all ", some medical type says in a huffy voice, "YOU had the baby for SEVEN DAYS!" Well, they sure have you on that point.

Certainly there is no way that BEING BORN can cause skull damage, is there?

Just like the boiled chicken egg into the milk bottle experiment, something apparently too large CAN BE FORCED through a rigid small opening. Boiled chicken eggs USUALLY go through the mouth and neck of the milk bottle with no apparent damage (well, sometimes it does get torn up and lands in the bottom of the bottle in a mixed-up pile).

I am "Daddy" to 10 children and father of 7, ALL SEVEN of which I DELIVERED. Their ages range from 23 to 3-1/2 years old. They are my credentials and certification. I know all about TEENAGERS, ADOLESCENTS, and BABIES. New born babies seldom are much trouble or noise. Their weak, shaky little cries are hardly likely to drive even grossly inexperienced new parents to the point of HURTING THEM. After a few weeks, when the cries become ROOM-SHAKING, demanding and belligerent, THEN is when inexperienced new parents NEED a break, a day off- THEY NEED GRANDMA!

Why might a doctor or hospital cry "abuse" of a new born? L-I-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y Most hospitals now employ a full time "Risk Manager". What's his job? To keep the hospital and doctors from being SUED. The formula is very simple- "It's not our fault. We didn't do it". In this scenario- "The BAD young parents did it!"

Right now, (depending on your age, like if you grew up when there were absolute morals and ethics) you might be bristling. You might be thinking: "Who do you think you are? Absolutely NOBODY, especially not doctors and hospitals, would deliberately and knowingly DESTROY a young couple's lives, just to Protect Their Butts!"

Well, in a few words- Yes they would. You are making a gross error by assuming that everybody still thinks in terms of absolute RIGHT or WRONG. We grew up in a time when it was widely considered as HONORABLE to DIE for what is good and right and forego monetary gain if you had to hurt somebody to get it.

DON'T KID YOURSELF-- We are now dealing with New Age, New Class "I'm #1" people who deal in "situational ethics" where it isn't bad to cheat, steal, or lie- it's just bad to GET CAUGHT at it. It's the money that matters, baby. These people are MUCH more concerned about their BMW getting washed and polished, and the performance of their portfolio than they are about "doing the right thing" or even doing a GOOD JOB when MEDIOCRITY and LOW EFFORT will suffice.

Another horde of them, called "Social Workers" from your "Family Friendly" CPS, like vultures ready to feed, are ready and willing to remove the hospital's "Risk", never to be seen or heard from again.

Don't you wish you could make YOUR RISKS just vanish like that?
