Barbara Knox, head of the Child Protective Unit at Madison’s American Family Children’s Hospital abruptly resigned in 2019 after being placed on administrative leave amidst allegations of intimidation and harassment of her colleagues. The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism has also uncovered evidence that Knox falsified records and misrepresented her own credentials in an effort to pin child abuse charges on one Wisconsin family. The incidents call into question many of the diagnostic techniques used by medical professionals to detect child abuse. Managing Editor for the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, Dee Hall, joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on March 9, 2020.
