Talk:Meadow's law

Removed the following unreferenced original research from the article:

The ‘law’ seems in Britain to have been adopted literally and urged by police and childcare workers — individuals with no training in paediatrics — who have acquired the habit of deferring to medical opinion as the immutable foundation for their actions, even though they don't fully understand what that opinion is. It appears that some child protection workers have applied the Meadow hypothesis as dogma, without its ever having been formally elaborated or defended. Another fact is that the prosecutions in which Meadow’s views played a role were often covered for the popular press by hardbitten crime reporters rather than by thoughtful journalists, and this may have had some effect in establishing the precept.
