Confessions or pleas from those up against the proverbial blue wall of misperceptions surrounding SBS are not evidenciary proof of SBS. I could say aliens took your babies in the court room. Does that make it a fact? Of course not! This law is simply an added incentive for the money-maker that SBS has become, the protection to vaccine-injured babies, and a way to produce UNNECESSARY panic in loving parents (as seen above). Did anyone even look to realize that vaccine-injury symptoms are listed as the exact same as symptoms of shaken baby syndrome? Ever stop to wonder why?... 35016@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#35017 In 1970s Caffey used experiments from a 1940 study with chimps (yes, live ones until they were shaken hard enough). His theory, his idea that he dreamed up involved human beings being able to shake their babies and produce skull fractures, retinal hemorrhages, brain swelling, etc. He did no studies himself. He didn't use a study that was complimentary to his theory. This is junk science at its best, the very definition of it. Meanwhile, less than 10 years later, a female scientist proved with cadavers, humans could not come near the force necessary to shake a baby and produce those injuries.... 35017@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#35018 People are bullied into accepting plea bargains every day. In fact, I'm still waiting for statistics about who actually gets to have a trial in my state anymore; they're all taking pleas. Juries are not given the correct information since they are not researchers or scientists and therefore come up with a guilty verdict because of incompetent lawyers or prejudiced judges. This hysteria of madness based on junk science and bullied confessions needs to stop. Get the facts and stop the libeling of innocent parents, stop the real murderers of our infants by vaccine-injury and vitamin c deficiency. Or not. Wait until this happens to someone you love instead, like I did. Wait for the nightmare to become all too real. Stop blaming an innocent loving caregiver if you don't know the first thing about what causes injuries to infants! You are not entitled.... 35018@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 16 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#34686 shouldnt ther be other problems to go with SBS? like a neck injurie or something else in that nature? I was falsely accussed of shaking my baby and now she is out of my care and I can NEVER have ner back. luckily, she is a VERY smart 1 year old and is doing good. but why was there no other injuries from being shook so hard? someone please give me answers... 34686@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#29529 Dear Foster Mom, Duh; It's called "MURDER" not SBS. Describe SBS, give an exclusive and clinical definition for it just as we have for other dieases. Yes, someone can shake a child and hurt them. Question; why don't children of auto accidents have retinal bleeding? Answer; because intercranial pressures contribute to retinal bleeding not shaking. If you meet someone who can generate 11G's of force shaking a child, I want to meet that person. Get the facts and stop letting emotion ruin you life and the lives of parents.... 29529@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#23045 SBS is very real. We had a foster baby go home that we were very concerned about returned to mom and her boyfriend, we wrote our gov., our legislators, all to no avail. 4 months after this little one was returned home, he was murdered by mom's boyfriend. He admitted to the murder, it was SBS followed by blunt force trauma to the head. This needs to be stopped. The trial is on hold because there is no legislation which makes it difficult to even talk about SBS in a trial. Let's see this legislation passed and other children saved.... 23045@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 11 Nov 2007 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#22130 Several people must want the government to raise their children and if this bill is made into law then, the government will take your child from you. Yes, children are hurt. Yes, a family member or friend may have done it. But, why are there no bruises or other obvious trauma? Government agencies currently allow private contractors to take children from families without any "real" proof. Vaccinations do cause damage in thousands of children each year and autism is really 1 in 67 especially for boys. Get the facts, and I hope none of you are falsely accused, but it is coming.... 22130@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#21609 I support this bill and those parent's who have children that are victims of SBS. There is always someone who has to be negative about issues that are so dear to someone's heart. What if your child died unexpectedly and SBS was the cause you would agree with it. But to say SBS is a myth because your upset that you were falsly accused of it on your own child. Of course you are going to find myth in it. Myth that you couldn't possibly do that to your child. Myth that you are innocent. But what if you weren't accused and someone outside of your family shook your child violently while your child was crying for you and their brain was being shook back and forth in their head and they died. Would you find a myth in it? Or would you be wanting people to be aware of it and it's danger's?... 21609@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html 9/17/2007: Referred to Senate committee.

The medical profession needs to throughly investigate each and every case before they start making accusations!!

It was stated that SBS is equal to an infant falling 2 to 3 stories, or being in an automobile accident and being thrown out of the vehicle. “ALL WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL INJURY OR BRUISING. It’s impossible. Why are our families being falsely accused, and even convicted without proof? We have been working since Dec 2006 to get copies of medical records, subpoena ordered since about May 2007 and still our attorney's do not have the complete records. What are they hiding? DCF uses every comment from anyone "Doctors, Hospital Clergy, Nurses, and Counselors, etc against the family and twist the comments to fit the alleged event. The doctors are more interested in “who” did it not what actually happened. If this program works as well as the Sex Education to prevent Teenage Pregnancies laws we are all in real trouble.... 21283@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#21242 Did you ever wonder where the diagnosis of SIDS went, it was changed to SBS, it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Retinal hemorrhages have other causes, subdural hematomas have other causes and vaccines kill. Whoever is with the child at the time of the incident is accused and brought to trial read and visit www.sbsdefense.com Remember this could happen to you Also visit http://vaers.hhs.gov IF the GOV set up this system something must be true about vaccines.

This is a highly controversial subject and needs further study as the evidence that SBS exists is slim to none. Just think for a minute-if you were to shake a baby with that much force wouldn't there be evidence of cervical injuries maybe a broken neck? Keep in mind it is not only vaccine reactions but can be confused with other diagnoses as well. If a diagnostic protocol was used-I can guarantee SBS cases would disappear. It is those making these allegations that need education and further study and maybe if they were held accountable for their accusations that are false they select their diagnosis with care!... 21251@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#21232 While SBS does happen and the associated physical damage such as, head and neck trauma and spinal cord detachment, bruised and fractured legs, arms, bruised and fractured ribs both front and back as well as death. Could someone explain why "Adverse Vaccination Reactions" are not being included in this bill? I have a Granddaughter who was given numerous vaccinations, at 2 months old, while under the care of a doctor, against the advice of the Center for Disease Control and Manufacturing Company, while recovering from pneumonia, on antibiotics and no-one is taking the doctor to jail. Why not? He knowingly vaccinated a sick child. Parents must sign and accept the consequences for any reaction from the vaccination. Why are parents being held responsible? HR 2052 is really just more spending and job security for those who want to take over child rearing from "real" parents. Wake up before your children are taken to jail for being accused of hurting your grandchild.... 21232@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#21156 Bob - thanks for proving the point that just because it's on the Internet doesn't mean it's a fact. Studies show that when you count the number of cases of head trauma in infants, then educate parents about the vulnerability of infants to shaking and other trauma, there is a significant decline in the number of cases of head trauma. That's what HR 2052 will do. And when babies don't suffer inflicted head injuries, there is no reason to arrest anyone. PS. Now, that is a fact.... 21156@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 07 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#21129 Although SBS exsists it is far less often than reported here is a link to the facts http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/shakenbabysyndrome.htm#buttram What HR 2052 WILL DO IS PROMOTE MISINFORMATION AND GIVE EXCUSES TO ARREST PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS FOR NO CRIME.... 21129@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 06 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_2052.html#20939 yes, lets prevent baby shaking by starting a committee. that will stop all those evil baby shakers. all hail the committee.... 20939@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 24 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_2052.html?rev=7124 <p>H.R. 2052 would enhance Federal efforts focused on public awareness and education about the risks and dangers associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Act of 2007 - Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through various federal agencies, to develop a national Shaken Baby Syndrome public health campaign.
