What did he do though? You can not tell kids to shut up anymore without be jailed? I know he shouldn't have covered his mouth but jail really?

What a crock of poop. Ruin a career over stupid crap like this! Truth be known the Doc should have smacked the little punk for being such a sissy!If the guardian who was in the room the whole time thought something was wrong why the heck did they wait till later in the day to report an incident?

was he screaming because of offensive touching or was the offensive touching the covering of the mouth because the little jerk was screaming ?

This is more common then most would think, in dealing with pediatric dental patients. That's why some dentists don't allow parents in the room.

Don't worry, the Biden's in public office are looking over everyone. Hmmm.... Maybe that's what I should worry about given the performance on Bradley.

Oh Please! Offensive touching my foot! I agree with 5:46.
The "family member" who informed the police over something so inane is a complete idiot.

5:46 and 10:31-I agree.A loser pays legal system would end this crap.Given the possibility that the defendant could win his case would make the accusers think twice.If we're not careful,we'll lose a lot of good doctors and dentists.
