Episode Details

Beth Maloney has graciously offered to come and sit down with Dr. Bahr and Jody to discuss a very delicate topic that is an unfortunate reality for many PANS/PANDAS families. Let's talk about legal issues and medical child abuse/kidnapping.

• The pivotal moments that led Beth on a journey to educate, advocate, and give back to this community & how each of her books were born 
• Dr. Bahr shares some shocking statistics surrounding child investigations  
• Beth explains how quickly accusations of medical child abuse can escalate (especially with medically complex children)
• What a "child abuse pediatrician" is, what to be aware of, and how to possibly find out if your hospital has one
• Beth talks about the child abuse registry... can you end up on it if you've been accused of neglect or abuse?? Can you appeal?
• What if I need to take my child to the ER? How can I protect myself? What do I say or don't say?
• How homeschooling/homebound learning is often perceived as a red flag to a child abuse pediatrician
• Munchausen by proxy vs. medical child abuse.. are these the same thing? and the best things to do if you think a doctor is suspecting you of wrong-doing
• An explanation of medical neglect
• Tips on navigating a divorce when the parents disagree on health/medical-related decisions
