I mean, one of the reasons that sometimes people react to these lawsuits in such an emotional way and why they make sense to people is because people have had terrible experiences with the healthcare system, right? But I think you need to think about what is bad about the healthcare system, right? It's not these things. It's not a bunch of doctors conspiring to snatch children away.

It's actually because a lot of times care is not coordinated the way that it should be and it's fractured and you get these sort of like, you know, potholes everywhere. And like, it's exactly the opposite. And in terms of the reputational thing, If I'm a doctor who wants to keep myself out of court and out of the media and my reputation squeaky clean, I'm not reporting abuse.

And we know that that's happening. I mean, I have had, Mary, so many people, whenever I'm doing something where there's medical professionals there or even just if I'm doing something out like Book Event or somewhere out in the world, like I have had many medical professionals pull me aside and tell me that they attempted to report abuse and risk management told them not to.

So that is not, yeah, which is bad. I mean, we are suffering from the opposite problem, but it's like the risky position always, I can't, tell me if you can find an argument otherwise, but the risky position always is to report. That's the thing that's going to end up damaging your reputation. That's the thing that's going to potentially make you the villain of a Netflix film.

That's the thing that's going to potentially just like drag you through a lengthy lawsuit, right? Yeah.

That's the thing that's going to potentially just like drag you through a lengthy lawsuit, right? Yeah.

That's the thing that's going to potentially just like drag you through a lengthy lawsuit, right? Yeah.

It makes no sense. It makes no sense.

It makes no sense. It makes no sense.

It makes no sense. It makes no sense.

Yeah. And I mean, again, we hope, we hope doctors report. You know, you look at cases like the Olivia Gant case in Colorado where the family members ultimately sued that hospital because they had suspicions and there was disagreement amongst the team and it eventually got shut down and they didn't report and that child died. And, you know, that is a tragedy.

And, you know, that is a tragedy.

And I think by and large, when I have talked to, you know, both people on the medical side and people on the child protection side, so, you know, people who work for HHSA or CPS or, you know, whatever it's referred to in your state, they all recognize that, you know, to a person from who I've talked to, they all recognize that when you separate a child from their parents, that's a tragedy, even if it needs to happen.
