Chana Al-Alas and Rohan Wray: (UK): Why a growing number of parents are being falsely accused of shaking their baby to death. The Mail.


STORY: "The disturbing reason why a growing number of parents are being falsely accused of shaking their baby to death" by Sue Reid published in the Daily Mail on December 18, 2011.

GIST: "But until now, few have pointed out one of the most worrying aspects of the crisis: babies with a vitamin D deficiency display remarkably similar symptoms to those who have been deliberately shaken by their parents or carers. This may have led to other controversial criminal trials of parents accused of harming their children when — like the Wrays — they were completely innocent."
