Rychlak Mississippi Defense Lawyers Association Professor of Law University of Mississippi School of Law Catholic social teaching is a treasure trove of wisdom regarding the proper structure of a Just society and the way to live a holy life. The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a Just and moral vision for society. Marriage and the family are the central social institutions and they must be supported. The Catechism o f the Catholic Church says that the family is the original cell of social life. Any Just society cares for its children. Under the doctrine of subsidiarity, the first right and responsibility falls to the parents and the family. Unfortunately, there are times when society feels the need to intervene. No one can doubt that there are times when this is necessary. The problem is the difficulty of assessing the needs of a family unit from the outside. My first professional interaction with the child protective system (CPS) came years ago when, as a fairly new law professor, I was asked to work on the appeal of the Kelly Michaels case. Kelly was a daycare worker at a nursery school in New Jersey. She had been convicted of sexual abuse of thirty-three children, and she was sentenced to forty- seven years imprisonment. Some of the allegations made by the children were bizarre, and the physical evidence was essentially non-existent, but as the father of a couple of young children at the time, my initial sympathies were with the prosecution. I had my doubts about the appeal. IX X Rychlak Then we discovered that these same bizarre allegations had been made by other children at other locations. The only commonalty was that in each case, the children were questioned by the same team of investigators. I was eventually persuaded, and so was the New Jersey Supreme Court. It overturned Kelly’s conviction, declaring that “the interviews of the children were highly improper and utilized coercive and unduly suggestive methods.” Unfortunately, Kelly Michaels is not the only person to have been victimized by over-zealous governmental officials trying to protect children. On April 27, 2012, prominent social scientists gathered at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. to apply their expertise to the problems of the CPS. The six papers presented at that conference are at the heart of this book, and they apply Catholic social teachings and related ethical and legal principles in an effort to protect families and children. In his piece, Stephen M. Krason examines the legislation that transformed American thinking about child abuse and family relations, the Mondale Act. He argues persuasively that this Act helped create a runaway, abusive system in which 66-80 percent of reports made to the CPS are totally unfounded and many others involve very minor matters. These false and exaggerated charges have involved millions of families, causing untold devastation. William L. Saunders shows us that things are not getting better. In fact, “human rights law” based on international agreements is now serving further to undermine the family. Michael E. Rosman examines the constitutional implications of when the CPS and related police authorities interfere with family relations, and he calls for procedural rules to minimize the impact on the family. James R. Mason III looks at the procedures related to CPS inspections and the Fourth Amendment, in what he has dubbed “the battle for the front door.” He shows that in almost three out of four cases, incursions are unnecessary and cause more harm than good. Patrick F. Fagan, in a paper co-authored by Anna Dorminey and Emily Hering, continues his excellent work of laying out the evidence related to safe and dangerous places for children. In the context of these papers, one has to conclude that the CPS far too often moves children from safety to danger. Ruth A. White employs the concept of CPS workers (and others) as “street-level bureaucrats” who are forced to negotiate ethical dilemmas borne out of poorly designed public policy and insufficient federal funding. The volume concludes with two amicus curiae briefs, filed by the Society of Catholic Social Scientists, which put theory into practice. Foreword XI At the end of the day, one is left with concern for children who encounter actual abuse, but also with a new concern for adults who are falsely accused and for families that are tom apart by a system that encourages false accusations. Since the investigations and prosecutions are made “in the name of protecting children,” that system also tempts authorities to circumvent the rights of the accused. The papal encyclical Rerum Novarum forbids the state to “exercise intimate control over the family,” and says that the state may intervene only when the family is in “exceeding distress” or if within it there are “grave disturbances of mutual rights.” Relying on teachings such as these, the authors of the articles in this book set forth an ethic grounded in Catholic social teaching. Procedures derived from that ethic must make their way into public policy. The alternative is continuation of a system that too often hurts what it is intended to help. Oxford, Mississippi July 6,2012 Preface and Acknowledgements By Stephen M. Krason I have written about the problem of false reporting of child abuse and neglect directed against parents for over a quarter of a century. Even though it is clear, by any amount of careful study, that the problem is a massive one, it has seemed persistently to be “below the radar screen.” While perhaps more people have a sense of it today than when I first wrote about it—maybe because so many parents across the United States have been victimized by the child protective system (CPS)—most seem to be unaware of it.

  • American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000
    AMERICAN MONSTERS: TABLOID MEDIA AND THE SATANIC PANIC, 1970-2000 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Sarah A. Hughes May 2015 Examining Committee Members: Kenneth L. Kusmer, Advisory Chair, History Carolyn Kitch, Journalism Susan E. Klepp, History Elaine Tyler May, External Member, University of Minnesota, American Studies © Copyright 2015 by Sarah A. Hughes All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT “American Monsters: Tabloid Media and the Satanic Panic, 1970-2000,” analyzes an episode of national hysteria that dominated the media throughout most of the 1980s. Its origins, however, go back much farther and its consequences for the media would extend into subsequent decades. Rooted in the decade’s increasingly influential conservative political ideology, the satanic panic involved hundreds of accusations that devil-worshipping pedophiles were operating America’s white middle-class suburban daycare centers. Communities around the country became embroiled in criminal trials against center owners, the most publicized of which was the McMartin Preschool trial in Manhattan Beach, California. The longest and most expensive trial in the nation’s history, the McMartin case is an important focal point of this project. In the 1990s, judges overturned the life sentences of defendants in most major cases, and several prominent journalists and lawyers condemned the phenomenon as a witch-hunt. They accurately understood it to be a powerful delusion, or what contemporary cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard termed a “hyperreality,” in which audiences confuse the media universe for real life. Presented mainly through tabloid television, or “infotainment,” and integral to its development, influence, and success, the panic was a manifestation of the hyperreal.

  • Using Tort Litigation to Enhance Regulatory Policy Making
    Using Tort Litigation to Enhance Regulatory Policy Making: Evaluating Climate-Change Litigation in Light of Lessons from Gun-Industry and Clergy- Sexual-Abuse Lawsuits Timothy D. Lytton* I. Introduction In recent years, tort litigation has been used to address a variety of social problems. Examples include lawsuits aimed at reducing smoking- related illness, gun violence, and obesity.1 Reactions to this use of tort litigation to influence regulatory policy—what scholars have termed “regulation through litigation”—have been mixed. On one hand, commentators have argued that litigation can be an effective means of shaping public policy and improving the performance of other policy-making institutions. Lawsuits can frame issues in new ways, give them greater prominence on the agendas of regulatory institutions, uncover policy-relevant information, and mobilize reform advocates.2 On the other hand, commentators have cautioned that regulation through litigation can be inefficient and ineffective. Compared to other forms of regulation, litigation is often unnecessarily complex, protracted, costly, unpredictable, and inconsistent.3 Moreover, courts are generally less well equipped than legislatures and administrative agencies to evaluate technical information, * Professor of Law, Albany Law School. B.A. 1987, J.D. 1991, Yale University. I am grateful for comments on earlier drafts by David Hunter, Peter Janowski, Alice Kaswan, Hari Osofsky, Allen Rostron, Wendy E. Wagner, and Chris Weimer.

These lawsuits are based not only on traditional common law tort claims such as misrepresentation, negligence, and product defect, but also on statutory claims such as public nuisance and unfair trade practices.

  • From the Mouths of Babes to a Jail Cell
    From The Mouths of Babes To A Jail Cell Child Abuse and the abuse of Justice: A Case Study By Dorothy Rabinowitz On August 2, 1988, Margaret Kelly Michaels, then twenty-six years old, was sentenced by a New Jersey judge to forty-seven years in prison. It was as harsh a sentence as any judge in this country is likely to mete out for a crime involving neither drugs nor murder, but it was not nearly harsh enough for most of those assembled in the courtroom that day at the Essex County Court House in Newark. She faced, according to those moved carefully calculate such things (and there were many on hand), an imprisonment of no fewer than 750 years. Three months earlier, Michaels had been convicted on 1159of an alleged 131) counts of sexual abuse against 20 children, ranging in age from three to five. Each of the children had been in her charge at the Wee Care Day Nursery, an exclusive preschool in the suburban community of Maplewood, New Jersey about twenty miles from New York City; each of the crimes was said to have been committed during regular school hours at the nursery, essentially a few rented rooms in the basement and on the second and the third floors if the town’s large Episcopal church; each day during the seven months she worked as a teacher’s aide and then as a teacher at Wee Care, from September 1984 to April 1985, Kelly Michaels, according to the prosecutors, raped and assaulted them with knives, forks, a wooden spoon, and Lego blocks.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Black President in Film and Television
    “WELL, IT IS BECAUSE HE’S BLACK”: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BLACK PRESIDENT IN FILM AND TELEVISION Phillip Lamarr Cunningham A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2011 Committee: Dr. Angela M. Nelson, Advisor Dr. Ashutosh Sohoni Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Butterworth Dr. Susana Peña Dr. Maisha Wester © 2011 Phillip Lamarr Cunningham All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Ph.D., Advisor With the election of the United States’ first black president Barack Obama, scholars have begun to examine the myriad of ways Obama has been represented in popular culture. However, before Obama’s election, a black American president had already appeared in popular culture, especially in comedic and sci-fi/disaster films and television series. Thus far, scholars have tread lightly on fictional black presidents in popular culture; however, those who have tend to suggest that these presidents—and the apparent unimportance of their race in these films—are evidence of the post-racial nature of these texts. However, this dissertation argues the contrary. This study’s contention is that, though the black president appears in films and televisions series in which his presidency is presented as evidence of a post-racial America, he actually fails to transcend race. Instead, these black cinematic presidents reaffirm race’s primacy in American culture through consistent portrayals and continued involvement in comedies and disasters. In order to support these assertions, this study first constructs a critical history of the fears of a black presidency, tracing those fears from this nation’s formative years to the present.
