Because SBS isn't the sole cause of subdural hematomas or retinal hemorrhages, some people have no doubt been falsely accused of SBS. Since this is a highly emotionally charged accusation that currently plays well with jurys, groups have been formed to bring what they see as a more balanced view of these injuries to the legal system.
Because false allegations such as Satanic ritual abuse and the Salem witch trials can sometimes enjoy a brief status as a legal fad, and diagnosis can gain the status of a medical fad, caution must be taken in a legal context to insure the rights of both the accused and the victims of SBS.
This is definatly POV. I'm deleting it until someone can attribute/cite this or otherwize NPOV it.
