EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Amazon.com
Each year, there are an estimated 1,300 reported cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome, and as many as twenty-five percent of them prove to be fatal. ABC News reports that, while organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics consider Shaken Baby Syndrome a serious form of child abuse, others, like Dr. Jan Leestma, claim that SBS is misdiagnosed and causing innocent people to be sent to prison. Dr. Leestma, a neuropathologist and a critic of the theories behind the syndrome, says it's more theory than science and that recent experiments suggest not enough force is generated by repeatedly shaking an infant to cause fatal injuries. ABC News talks to experts on both sides of this growingly contentious issue, and to Louise Woodward, the famed "British Nanny" who was found guilty of second-degree murder -- but whose sentence was later reduced to involuntary manslaughter -- in a case that made world headlines. Woodward, who is now a lawyer and lives in England, still maintains that she did nothing to harm the infant who died under her care while she was a teenaged au pair for a Massachusetts couple.
