Pedophile Pediatrician Molested Kids For Almost 10 Years

56-year-old pedophile Dr. Earl Bradley had a perfect profession to satisfy his sick lust for children- he was a pediatrician; and although there had been many complaints and even investigations dating back years, he was still allowed to practice medicine. He's estimated to have molested at least 100 kids, some as young as 6 months old. For almost 10 years!

How did he slip through the cracks, and why did it take so long to arrest him? Even his sister apparently complained to authorities in 2005 about his inappropriate conduct, telling

..... police in 2005 that her brother was bipolar and taking medication from the office, and that several parents had complained to her about Bradley inappropriately touching patients.

And yet it wasn't until he was arrested that his license was finally suspended by the medical board.

"The system failed. What I don't know, and what we must find out, is where and how," said Gov. Jack Markell, who plans to order an independent review of the state's handling of the case.

But as usual it has turned into a finger pointing contest, where no-one is willing to take responsibility. And yet there were ample opportunities for authorities to look into the matter and make sure the man had no further contact with minors. And yet a series of missteps and missed opportunities allowed him to continue abusing children.

officials who oversee the Board of Medical Practice claim they never

received any complaints until after the arrest.

State police said they didn't notify the board of a 2008 investigation because they worried about jeopardizing their case.

The attorney general's office was involved in a 2005 investigation, yet apparently didn't tell the board.

Milford police said they tried to file a complaint with the board in 2005, but were rebuffed by an investigator who told them it needed to come from the victim or her parent.

Even two pediatricians interviewed in 2005 told investigators about complaints from Bradley's former patients.

It wasn't until a little 2-year-old girl complained to her mother about being hurt by Bradley, that he was finally arrested. In the little girls case

he took her to a basement room after an exam.

Authorities have said Bradley videotaped some of the attacks, some of which occurred in exam rooms with Disney themes.

The children weren't only failed by the system, but by the parents and his medical staff, as well. I'm not sure why there were no nurses or parents present while a child was being examined. Surely a child should always be accompanied by a parent. But it is truly outrageous, that in spite of all the warning signs and the suspicions, nothing was done sooner.
