 In many cases where MSBP is being investigated the child is left with the

Dr. Morgan,

I don't know of your personal experience.  I know of many cases
where kids have been separated from moms and DIED in medical
care.  No proof is no proof.  The point is to keep a scientific 
mindset and not  let suspicion override well founded professional 
judgment.  Seldom does a sick child have a better asset than a
concerned parent, in my opinion.
