Re: A journey into the shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma controversy
#2 I came to realize that there was a long-standing scientific controversy in the field, and I felt that I had no choice but to get to the bottom of things myself. Although I am not a medical doctor, I hold a PhD in neuroscience and am familiar with critically reading scientific literature. I decided that I would invest as much time as necessary to learn everything I possibly could on the subject. At that point, there was nothing in my life more important than finding out what had really happened to my son.

Are you asserting that the caution against shaking babies was intentionally constructed for the sole purpose of the state kidnapping children? For what motivation, to what end? How orchestrated? Who is "the state"? Do they have a hand picked squad of CPS investigators to kidnap children from their targets, or do they just use any CPS investigator? Are the investigators in on it, or are they just thinking they're helping kids? Can you cite references for any of the answers to any of these questions?

#8whoof. what an ugly trip!
i’ve interacted with the author, who wrote a very nice spike sorting package called `phy` that i used several years back (and iirc turned me off using hdf5 as a result), and came away very impressed with what was so obviously a sharp mind. very odd to recognize the name in a totally other context. Not very pleasant to hear about such a rough time either!

But the link in question does make it seem like being a nanny probably could have better protections in France if uh, the person lost 4 years due to this charge.

#10The worst part here is: He spent months researching 500 medical papers to even realize this was a problem. No way in hell will a single defense lawyer get someone to be able to research enough to figure this out. As stated, how many people are in jail or lost their kids due to something that didn't actually happen. And how many people don't know that a minor bump in the head for a baby could be life threatening, but we just mark it as SIDS. And even worse, no medical doctor will go this hard trying to figure out how to defend a person they believe murdered a baby.
It is the perfect combination of crap.
Cyrille Rossant may save a lot of lives, in both parents and children, if this becomes common knowledge.
