Child Protection Teams
Rick Thoma's messages of December 2, 1995 The Public Defender, The Letter, 
he
Transcript: 01, and The Transcript: 02 cites Dr. Laura/Lorris/Lois Slaughter,
Dr. William Gordon, child protection teams, and prosecutorial misconduct.
Nothing found in my data base on Dr. Slaughter or Dr. William Gordon; 
vident-
ly they have not published or are not known on the national level.
Regarding medical examinations: I have 38 titles representing 338 pages which
primarily relate to examinations of children; some materials have comments on
the phrase "consistant with".  For the keyword "medical" there are 241 titles
representing 2053 pages; subjects include sexual child abuse, adult rape,
malpractice, men's health issues, serological evidence, DNA aspects, overall
medical areas.  If there is an interest I'll create ZIP files.
Regarding child protection teams (Sonoma County "Child Sexual Abuse Team"): I
have 55 titles representing 570 pages.  If there is an interest I'll create a
ZIP file. Subjects are "multidisciplinary approaches" or "inter-agency coor-
dination" as discussed by various states/counties (TN, MS, VA, CT, FL, etc)
and by varying concerns (private, National Center for Prosecution of Child
Abuse, National Center for Protective Parents, American Prosecutors Research
Institute, FBI, etc). A draft paper on child protection teams has been 
ritten
and cites cpt's in New London County, Connecticut and Orange County, Florida.
