I think it's great the NHRMC has implemented this. I think what's most important to remember is that if cases were prosecuted more than not the public as a whole would see the consequences legally of this action and it would make future perpetrators less likely to engage in SBS or other child abuse. DSS and Child Protective Services through the NHSD work vigilantly to name their suspect and our DA's office decides there's a 50/50 chance at a conviction and don't want the loss on their record and prefer to use our tax paying money towards offenses they deem they can win. I for one am a tax payer and I'm more than happy to see my portion go towards a case for conviction in child abuse including SBS even if there is no witness. If there's an arrest, move forward and let a jury decide. Afterall, isn't that the basis of our legal system to give them a fair trial and the family of the victim some peace and closure. This county has one of the highest averages for child abuse and one of the lowest averages in prosecution of these cases. Whose the child abuser...our system that enables child abusers to keep on abusing? You want to stop child abuse? PROSECUTE not just cases that end in fatalities!
