Pediatrician accused of ‘brutal attacks’ on kids

[Jenvenza]

I am sick to my stomach after reading that. That is so horrible! but I cannot believe parents were letting their BABIES go in there with this man alone! Doctor or not, I am coming in with my kid!

Really, the whole story is odd. He molested kids as young as six months old. What kind of a parent sends a six month old into a room alone with a middle aged man? First of all, at six months old, the child is probably crying for their parent. Second, don't these parents want to talk to the doctor? I usually have a list of questions that I ask, and I've been a parent for years. I just can't imagine handing a baby over to a man I barely know, and then sitting back and watching t.v. in the waiting room.

Not to mention that if there were previous cases of brutality, wouldn't the children have had unexplained bruises and there would have been a police report LONG before this story hit the news?

There's got to be more to it than this.

 

[Carly_Roach]

He video taped his crimes.

Yeah. That doesn't make much sense, either.

If there are things about a story that seem incredible or unbelieveable, chances are:

1). Facts are being omitted
2). Lying is involved
3). Both

I would imagine there is a lot of internal and genital bruising. For the older kids, maybe the parents weren't looking for bruises. For the babies? I dunno. Not that I WANT to know the gritty details, but we'd have to hear the details of the attack to know what the deal is.

I've read where lots of sickos video tape their crimes so they can revisit them. Guess they don't think they'll get caught.

I think MAYBE his guilt and sentence should be determined legally??

I don't see any of the recommendations in this thread being used with a qualifying phrase like, "proven guilty"?

Well said. We have a news blurb (and we all know how well THEY "check their facts" ) of a story written in a way that would deliver the most emotional impact to its readers so the paper can sell advertisements.

I'm an educated person. I think I'll reserve my emotions for when the jury has rendered a decision based on information they'll be privy to that we just don't have at this point in time.

My DD is 8 and I would never never never leave her alone with a doctor or dentist. I called around and found a dentist who would allow me to come back with her after our previous one discouraged it. IMO, if you dont want me back there, you have something to hide.

I am a teacher and I would never tell a parent that they couldnt come visit my class cause I dont have anything to hide. Same thing applies here.

I hope this piece of scum gets what he deserves and more.

Really? So a reporter could get the facts wrong, but a jury couldn't? And the fact that they have tangible evidence in the form of videos that they can view ( they being the police ) doesn't prove him guilty? What exactly could the other information be that is hidden at this time? There is NO way a story like this could be written to NOT deliver any type of emotional impact.

That is, if you're human. Sometimes being educated doesn't equate intelligent.

In general juries have less information then the general public does. What they get is very controlled. Lawyers can be just as sensational and emotional as the media. Defense lawyers do not have to prove their clients innocent... just allow doubt. The better the lawyer the more chance they have of doing that... regardless of evidence.

It's a discussion board, and people are discussing it. We're not on the jury...we are not convicting him nor sentencing him. Whatever we choose to say about the accusations will not put him in prison...it's just a discussion.

Not to mention that if there were previous cases of brutality, wouldn't the children have had unexplained bruises and there would have been a police report LONG before this story hit the news?

Because children are never abused more than once, because it's always discovered? And no one can get away with abusing more than one child, because that child or his/her parents would discover the abuse and report it?

Yeah. That doesn't make much sense, either.

Because no criminal has ever taken pictures or videotaped their crimes before? Is this the first time you're hearing of that concept?

I don't need to have someone convicted to find the accusations of physical and sexual abuse of children emotional. The concept is emotional (well, to most people).

My DD goes to a pediatric dentist that doesen't have parents in back until it is "discussion time". However the treatment room is one huge room that is completely fronted with windows.I am completely comfortable with the situation.

 

[Buckalew11]

Since we're discussing this, I think he sounds like a monster. God bless those little children. I'm sure many of the parents could kill him with their bare hands.

...and he is wearing a Mickey Mouse jacket. ugh.

This is horrible those poor babies.
