55th Annual Education Conference
When a woman astronaut was killed in the Challenger Disaster, the author spoke on 20/20 about children’s reactions. Many attorneys viewing the broadcast began to want his help with traumatized children in the midst of civil litigation. The children were especially those traumatized by sexual abuse in churches, day care centers, schools, foster care and group homes. As he continued forensic practice for decades and aged into his nineties, rather than retiring, he was called on more and more to deal with major cases. Some cases affected decisions about statutes of limitation and some affected large social systems. Thousands of children who sued for negligent and abusive care, were helped to find their voices, were successful individually and in class actions, gaining very large awards, settlements and verdicts. Standards of actual care responded, improving in churches, schools and foster care systems. Many therapists have attended his forensic seminars and some are now actively collaborating with him in developing a nonprofit service, giving voices to oppressed, marginalized and traumatized persons seeking justice.
