Is Shaken Baby Syndrome Real?

Tuesday, June 28, 201

Shaken baby syndrome has been the diagnosis for hundreds of untimely infant deaths for years. But more and more cases of alleged baby shaking are facing doubt by experts in the medical community. A new Frontline documentary, airing tonight on PBS stations, looks at some of these cases.

It’s called “The Child Cases,” and it’s directed by A.C. Thompson, who joins us from WGBH in Boston. Dr. Jon Thogmartin, Florida’s district 6 medical examiner appears in the Frontline special. He joins us from Clearwater, Fla.
