Special Edition SBYNews Show
Like many of you, I watched the Dr. Phil Show today to see what they had to say about the Dr. Bradley case. Tonight I bring to you information the MSM nor the Dr. Phil Show presented. Information that I feel is extremely important to this situation and this case.
Let us know your thoughts after the Show.

Absolutely! It is sickening that any child is put at risk of being abused. It is disgusting Bradley had free rein of so so so many children. I haven't understood from the get go how in the heck a parent of a child doesn't stay with their child during a physical check up. None of those children should have been available to such crude acts.
I also do not understand the delays in suspending his medical license or the delay in removing the items from his place of business. Any repeat victim of sexual abuse knows the visual reminders are very real, even the smells can trigger a panic attack. To moms and dads please take note of that because many people do not think about the secondary effects that will be long lasting.
Bradley will be put away for a long time, but what about the other people who are still walking among us? They need to know if they ever harm our children they are going to pay dearly. As it is now they walk entirely too soon.
I agree with everything you said. I like you would never think about letting my child be by them self. Number one they always wanted me with them and number two I wanted to be there. map
Joe, you are not thinking correctly on this. My sister has two daughters w/ CP that went to Dr. Bradley. The Mother was ALWAYS with them. But at check out, as she struggled to get her check book and calendar, Dr. Bradley would offer to take one of her children...HELP the MOM...and get a toy for her and her sister. THAT is when it would happen. Not in the exam room but in an apparent innocent gesture of help. Totally and absolutely SICK and horrible. Now this poor Mom w/ two daughters with disability is having to live with this. Do not blame the parent.
Our government at work , be it state or federal , they suck. We all know it and do nothing. Government-Government-Nothing-Nothing the government is also SICK!
I happened to catch WJZ news last night or maybe the night before, they had a clip from Jennifer Foxwells interview with whatever news channel did that. It ills me to see that woman. She is disgusting and I really wish the Baltimore news channels were better informed because if they were they surely wouldn't have bothered to run that clip.
Dr. Phil and the lady that said Dr. Phil too much {sorry forgot her name} both stated exams were done away from parents, but you I thought had stated he would take the children to get a treat or prize. My question is why did he have the 3 month old alone? A baby that young wouldn't have needed a treat or prize..
Joe . . .I wouldn't be the least bit embarrashed about being mad after such an horrendous occurence. I've seen Bill O'Reilly get just as mad when it comes to pedophiles getting let off the hook. Remember the judge FOX tracked down after releasing a person over a similar incident.
Sickened, and the rest of you. As I mentioned several times in the past, if ONLY you knew what really went on.
YOU would be so PISSED OFF! In fact, you'd probably punch the parents in the face for allowing much of it.
As I stated in this edition, the State designated Dr. Bradley as an apointed Doctor. I know of a prent who contacted the state asking for another Doctor AND THEY REFUSED!
The state of Delaware is just as liable in this one as the Doctor himself. They knew the history and continued to FORCE many parents to bring their child there as they could not afford to go anywhere else.
Anyhow, if you knew what this sick son of a bitch did to these children, well, I can't say what I would do but I'm confident you can imagine.
Due to what he did to many of the children, it took much longer than "getting a treat". The police in one of the interviews a while back even stated that he was known to take the patients to the room in the basement or in the outside building aka "fun room". Each time it was stated that this was done during the exam. He may of also done "quickies" while parents were paying as they left but thats is NOT the only time he touched/video taped what he did to these children.
If a parent has to let someone else take a child away from them as they are paying a bill as they leave what in the world do they do when they go to the Mall? You never ever allow your child to go off alone with someone else. You may feel you know your doctor but do you really? No!
I hope Delaware makes good by all these kids and investigates to hold those with responsibility in this to the fire. You cant undo what is, but heads gotta role on this one.
Joe , I am an abuse victim and have also suffered A GREAT lose in my family due to a sexual predator. I will never be able to THANK YOU for your time and passion that you give EVERYDAY ! You are truly a great PERSON.
The system IS broken. The tone at the top. A massive law suit needs to happen to set precidence.
Everyone involved that "knew" it was going on and continued to work with this man-their hands are just as dirty.
I would have had to f*ck him up if I worked there and suspected it. I would have had to get the heck out of there.
How did these people turn a blind eye to it? Again, because we do not put the weaker a priority.
Sorry but I do blame the parents. When you watch the doctor insert his finger into the vagina of your baby, what are you thinking? His finger would have been gone after that and shoved up his ass.
When I had my children, I did not leave them with anyone for six years. And at the dentist's office, I even sat in the room with them. I was called over protective, even by their father, but this is the reality. People are in denial and so naive.
The information you shared is very upsetting. I find it to be true( as you stated ) people with little means are told not to question authority. I believe as well that more people need to be held accountable.
I'm with you Joe, that was my first thought and outrage at even the parents. Why would ANY parent leave the examination room on a visit to the doctor with their children. The doctor is talking to the parents, not so much to the children other than to sooth their fears over a shot or whatever. However, NO parent in their right mind leaves their child with another, even a doctor, alone.
There is simply no reason why they should. Which simply begs the question why they did. WHY?
What ruse did this doctor use to isolate the children from their parents?
That's what I want to know.
Joe, when you find out how that happened, please share.
My heart goes out to all of the children. It saddens me that they were forced into such horrible circumstances but I can't feel sorry for the parents. Our most important job as a parent is to keep our children out of harms way. I have 4 children and I am in the examination room every single time they see a doctor. If they need xrays I am right there beside them, when two of my children needed C-scans I was right there holding their hands or talking to them to help them through the process, when my daughter was hospitalized I was at her bedside non stop until my husband was able to get there 9 hours later then I was finally able to take a pee break!
In 16 years of taking children to doctors appointments I have never once paid after my child was treated. The routine is check in, be sure insurance info is accurate, pay. Every single appointment over those same 16 years I have written the check out for the amount of the copay before I even leave my house, so I do not need to be distracted in the office. When the nurse takes my child for height and weight I stand at the door watchiing.
One more thing to add to that. I was a teen mom, 16 years old when I had my oldest child and he is now 16 years old. Yet I still had the common sense to be with my child at all times to protect him. So if a 16 yr old that was stupid enough to get pregnant at 16 was smart enough to know not to ever allow someone to jeopardize my child then I find it very hard to excuse someone elses ignorance that endangered their child(ren).
There are plenty of people who are at fault and even though I don't understand the thought process of the parents I can say there were plenty of others that should have put a stop to Bradley before he started his terror spree. he should be executed for what he has done to those children. The laws need to change and people need to be held accountable for dropping the ball. Anyone that looked the other way or down played his actions should be held accountable for doing so.
9:39-I totally agree. I had mine young as well and a mother's instinct is not something that comes with age. You get it as soon as you give birth or you don't. A mother with a strong instinct would have been able to smell this piece of shit even though logic was not kicking it.
This is as bad as a mother not knowing that daddy is molesting the kids. Please....its called if I keep my head up my ass it will go away syndrome.
JOE could you please call Community Dental and tell them what your thoughts are about the kids going back to the rooms without the parent My 3 kids go there hard to get them anywhere else because of the insurance and I have not taken them there in the past 6 months because they refuse to let the parents go back they say "because of limited space" which it is a tiny place but my 1 and a half year old and 3 year old would not be able to tell me if something happened so until they change their policy I refuse to go they need to understand why parents do not want their children back there by themselves. Please call and see what they say to you and update me on here it would be much appreciated it is in Salisbury, Riverside Drive cant find the number right now. Community Dental Thanks alot
One thing I was thinking about..Joe..you said if you dont go the the exam room,its your own damn fault. Different scenario.. My child is VERY shy. She is 5 and if we were at the Drs ofc and the Dr ..whom we should always trust says ..come w me and we'll go get u weighed..or a lolipop and she wouldgo without me, I would feel she was making progress by going w/Dr alone ..u know what I mean?Any parent of a severely shy child would understand this.She has never actually gone w/o me but I was just thinking when you said this Joe,thats the way I would feel if she went backw our Dr. But I've been saying myself since this whole story started, that i would never leaveher alone w a dr
If you allow someone to coax your daughter with a lollipop to go with you alone no matter who they are, you have big issues yourself. Don't you know that is how most pedophiles operate? The nice ones use gifts, candy, and money and shower your child. You are setting your daughter up to be lured easily.
anonymous 7:53, with all due respect, your comment makes no sense. You would, then you wouldn't?
My Grandson is never out of my sight. If the Doctor has a problem with that, we would go somewhere else.
Let me add, our Grandson has state assistance medical care and his physicians are some of the kindest people I know. They have never had an issue with my being in the room. They are gentle, caring and always give us follow up calls to see how he's doing if we happened to bring him in for a non scheduled apointment.
If you do not have the same kind of Doctor, CHANGE. I'll share this quick story with you. I was seeing a Doctor in the Annapolis area when I went in for a cold. Now, like everyone else, everyone I knew at the time had the same kind of symptoms and when I was finished seeing the Doctor he said he wanted to see me again in 9 days, to see if I was better.
I responded, no thanks, I don't have that kind of time. He said, no, I want you back in 9 days. I replied, LOOK, you're a Doctor. I have come to you with a problem, just like hundreds of others. You even admitted you've had tons of patients come in with the same symptoms over the past few weeks. IF you can't fix me, you're fired.
Well he just looked at me and said, what? I said, that's right. I came here for a professional service. You're not hitting me up for another visit just to see if what you prescribed works. If I bring my car to the Shop with a problem and I drive away with the same problem, they too are FIRED.
Well this just shocked this guy because he had never had someone tell him that. If you're not comfortable with your Doctor, FIRE him/her. They work for you and believe me, they see enough patients with many of the same symptoms. No need to return in 9 days!
7:53 my 8 year old is extremely shy. The way we work through it is to allow him to visit a cousin for a couple hours at my cousins homs. He is also in an after school club which helps him to be less attached to me but he is always with people I know very well and I can pop in at any minute without advanced notice.
Several years ago, my daughter who was 2 and a half needed dental work that her regular dentist would not do. We were referred to Dr. Gerald Krause, a pediatric dentist in Salisbury, MD, and he would not let us back in the room during treatment. I did not want her to be treated without me there, but they insisted upon it. It seems it is standard practice for pediatric dentists to do this, but I would NEVER do it again. She was traumatized by that experience. I was actually able to see into the room where she was being treated through a fish tank that was visible in both the waiting room and the exam room. I'm not alleging child abuse, but they should not put parents in that position. Something needs to be done about this practice. I explained this to her new dentist, and he has absolutely no problem with me staying with her. You can't trust anyone today, and they should know that.

I know what to do to him.
Doesn't his office remind you of Neverland Ranch? Freaky.
Monsters, they are out there people.
I hope Delaware makes good by all these kids and investigates to hold those with responsibility in this to the fire. You cant undo what is, but heads gotta role on this one.

Tidewater, I know what happened to the children but I can't say as to how he went about doing these things.
More importantly, don't you believe the Staff had to know what was going on?
Are people today so hard up for a job they would allow this kind of crap to happen and NOT report it to the Police?
I'd be investigating and arresting his Staff as well, that's for sure. You don't go 11 years knowingly pulling this crap and get away with it.
My heart goes out to all of the children. It saddens me that they were forced into such horrible circumstances but I can't feel sorry for the parents.

The police are protecting the doctor so justice cannot be served.
Our government is in the justice prevention business.
Question #1--What benefits do low-income people receive in Delaware, that aren't received in Maryland?
Question #2--Joe, how did you get your hands on these documents? Are they open to the public?
JOE could you please call Community Dental and tell them what your thoughts are about the kids going back to the rooms without the parent My 3 kids go there hard to get them anywhere else because of the insurance and I have not taken them there in the past 6 months because they refuse to let the parents go back they say "because of limited space" which it is a tiny place but my 1 and a half year old and 3 year old would not be able to tell me if something happened so until they change their policy I refuse to go they need to understand why parents do not want their children back there by themselves.
