The Child Abuse Pediatricians

The NY Times announces a new podcast:

this doctor’s controversial career paralleled the rise of a new subspecialty: child abuse pediatrics, a field devoted to detecting — and preventing — child abuse.

The Preventionist charts this doctor’s path to Pennsylvania, as well as the profound damage that can result from separating parents and children; the final episode is the unvarnished story of one mother’s struggle to reunite her family after it was torn apart

Apparently this new child abuse pediatricians are like crooked lawyers for hire. If you have a messy divoce or child custody case, they can be paid to produce bogus affidavits creating suspicion of the other parent committing child abuse.
