GUILTY DE - Dr. Earl Bradley for sex abuse, child 🤬🤬🤬🤬, Lewes, 2009

[Jersey*Girl]

This case hits home with me b/c this is where we spend most of our holidays. Lewes & Cape Henlopen remind me of my childhood summer home in Cape May. Our best friend & children's godfather has a summer home in Lewes, which we also consider ours & have our own keys, so we're there constantly. I'm extremely familiar with the entire area in Lewes & Cape Henlopen and I'm sickened beyond belief. This is an extremely sad & life altering drama unfolding in that area. There's many people talking about it. I know people that take their children to Pediatric Associates. I thought Bradley was part of a group of doctors in a large practice that sometimes covers for other doctors when they're not available...I think it's located at or near the Beebe Medical center. I thought BayBees was Bradley's personal office, or am I wrong? BayBees is a very popular office utilized by MANY parents for their children. Dr. Bradley's house is right by the hospital in downtown Lewes. From what people are talking about, he's now on suicide watch b/c apparently he's seen many police officer's children, lawyer's children, sheriff's officer(s) children, even people that work at the jail (their children)! WTF is wrong with this cat?! This is what I mean by there's not enough justice for the victims of pedophiles. This guy should be taken out of soceity...for good.

Again, I am sickened beyond belief. There's ALOT of alleged victims. Some people don't want their children's names on record, so talk is some may not come forward. Lewes is a very quaint town. Even though it's comprised of summer vacation homes, the history is deep and it's inhabitants are mostly ethical and GOD fearing. Rehoboth is right next to it and is famous for being strongly associated with the gay community (who have the same freedom's as heterosexuals). I mention this b/c everyone I ran into over Christmas (gays & straights) are equally outraged that this monster got away with so much for so long. Apparently there's videotapes, digitally recorded data, and still pics that this pervert took and shared over the net. This is the word on the street.

I'll take as many pics as I can this weekend (I'm going shopping at the outlets there) and post them when I get back. Please pray for the many victims that this idiot molested and raped. May he die a thousand deaths...slowly.

I don't think these have been posted. I'll post as I find things. Please let justice be served GODspeed.

LadyL--I think it was posted in the first few days or linked to from an article. I remember looking at it and attempting to check out the guy who designed the page. Didn't come up with much. It is creepy, isn't it?

I try so hard to imagine how I would respond if I didn't know what I know now but it still creeps me out. I've always found cutesy names for child care centers disturbing and this strikes me the same way. The only thing that semi explains the choice of clinic name is that it is near the Beebe Medical Center. Still creepy.

Has anyone ever figured out why their are two clinics listed for Dr. Bradley? I've never seen this discussed or explained. Did the abuse occur only at BayBee's. Is the other one an older address or possibly a business office?

Lewes Pediatrics at 1535 Savannah with Dr. Bradley listed as owner/principal

BayBee's Pediatrics at 18259 Coastal Hwy. with Dr. Bradley listed as pediatrician

His home address is 344 Savannah and he's also listed at 1447 Kings Hwy.

Respectfully bolded by me. No, the choice of name stems from it being by the Bay. It's in very close proximity to the Cape May - Lewes ferry, which crosses the bay between the 2 sister towns daily. The Bee at the end stems from a bee being the choice of their mascot. Baby...hence Bay Bee (s). This was actually a very respected practice until news of this came out. I never once thought it was creepy, actually I always thought it was an ingenius way to draw attention for the business owner. What I'd like to know is whether or not the others associated with his practice(s) are being investigated, also. Alot of people seem to question what kind of parent could allow a doctor to see their infant or child alone, but I kinda question why nobody else in those practices noticed something sooner. How could this go undetected all this time? I mean, we're talking film & pics here, ya know? How could a nurse or doctor's associate not notice something? Several several several counts...and still mounting.

Let me please clarify what I mean... Before all this came about, I thought it was cute the way BayBees was set up. It seemed like it was all "for the kids". Now I look at it kind of different, as I'm sure others are rethinking their outlook on it all now, also. The BayBees practice never looked like a run-down cottage like was posted in the media but now it seems to need some updating. My oldest son is accident prone, so all of his doctors are specialists. Since we were already in with them , I use those same docs for my other boys. We've never needed to use the practices at the beach, thank GOD! The BayBees facility is not a state-of-the-art facility. It's just a pediatric practice located at the beach, set up like most other beach facilities are set up. I came in contact with a similar one in Myrtle Beach a few years ago. Somebody living in a large city with a huge metro hospital updated with first rate machines may think it's run-down. We frequent Christiana and AI DuPont, so Beebe Med Ctr is off the beaten path for me. However, BayBees still appears to fall in the realm of small town pediatric offices as far as appearances are concerned. Some locals don't like the choice of words some media are relaying in the press. I think they should be concentrating on the perp, as well as question whomever he worked with over the years. How did this go undetected by his peers? It's not like this only happened at him home...it happened in his practice where other people work...and that raises my hinky meter just a tad!

Please pray for these victims.

Dr. Bradley had over 1000 patients. Estimates are over 100 victims. 15 more unidentified victims were found on video tapes / film & pictures. Link & snippets below, the last paragraph bolded by me:

The volume of evidence seized from Dr. Earl Bradley's practice and home, including video tapes and computer files, makes it difficult to estimate the number of victims, said Alexis Slutsky, a deputy attorney general assigned to the state's Child Predator Task Force.

Delaware suspends Bradley's licence. Below is a link & some snippets. I have to wonder why the State Police & Attprney General's Office didn't work in conjunction with the Board of Medical Examiners. Why in the name of GOD was he allowed to continue to practice while he was being investigated? Think of all the victims that could have been saved. My GOD!

December 30, 2009, 6:24AM
REHOBOTH, Del. — Delaware's Board of Medical Practice on Tuesday ordered the emergency suspension of a pediatrician charged with raping nine patients and suspected of abusing possibly more than 100 children.

Though detectives had been investigating Dr. Earl Bradley for about a year, state police spokesman Sgt. Walter Newton said the medical board did not know of the probe until Bradley's arrest earlier this month. Among the evidence seized by investigators are videotapes allegedly showing Bradley engaged in sex acts with children as young as 6 months old.

Quote
But concerned parents asked officials why Bradley was allowed to continue practicing during an investigation that began a year ago, and despite at least one complaint that was filed more than four years ago.

A woman who said she watched Bradley inappropriately touch her daughter in 1999 during a doctor's visit said she filed a report with state police at least four years ago after hearing of similar complaints from other parents.

"This could have been stopped years ago," said the woman, who asked that her name not be published to avoid identifying her daughter. The Associated Press does not identify possible victims of sexual abuse.

Other parents wondered why Bradley was allowed to keep practicing after police began investigating more recent complaints over the past year. They also complained that police were slow in responding to them.

Jersey*Girl--Could you look at this, clipped from my post #209:

So, are there two offices or only one? We've also found that there was a female listed at the home address who filed for a business license pertaining to nursing, an S Bradley. Is there any info on that? And any word on the street concerning staff, neighbors, old classmates, etc. speaking out? Thank you for your local insight. Thanks for explaining the evolution of the name, too.

Hi Missizzy! I referred to the other practice as Pediatric Associates but I think you're right & I typed too fast. I think it's Lewes Pediatrics & is either in the Beebe medical complex or in it's near vicinity. I believe he was one of several doctors in that practice, each backing the others up being on call for emergencies & such...kind of like multiple doctors under the same facility sharing data bases. IDK. So, I believe it's called Lewes Pediatrics. BayBees was Bradley's practice, his private practice, at least I think. I'm cooking dinner but will make a phone call to find out as soon as I'm done. Both practices as well as his home residence are in close proximity to one another. I'll post a map later. This is such a sad situation. What pure scum!

 

[Jersey*Girl]

Ok, I think Lewes Pediatrics is the same as Lewes Pediatrics and Adolescent Center. It used to be housed through Beebe Medical Center or Bayside Health but has expanded and is also now located in Milton DE. There are multiple doctors at that facility. I'm not sure if Bradley was still on the list or not. BayBees was his primary private practice. I believe he left Beebe to start his private practice, as so many doctors do. He would still, probably, have been associated with them...hence he used their facility & obviously was on call sometimes. His house is located in close proximity to the Beebe Med Ctr. I'm still looking into the "nurse license" info, but don't think any of it can be posted when I find it all b/c that person isn't named as an accomplice or perp...yet. I'm attempting to map the areas out right now. It seems like the state police found videos and data confirming the abuse took place in several rooms at BayBees, as well as his home...unless that's a misprint of what I read. If it's actual fact, was his home licensed to view patients in? I thought a licensed physician could only see patients in a licensed facility...or am I wrong? I'd never take my children to their doctors residence, however I'm friends with some doctors that I may call upon for favors sometimes when I may think my children need further examination or I may need a second opinion...these are close friends I'm referring to, not acquaintances. It appears that Beebe is ontop of things with scheduling open public meetings for the victims & their families, mostly comprising of parents of victims. They had a meeting last night with several advocate groups there to speak & answer questions, as well as 2 more meetings scheduled for next Tuesday & the Tuesday after. They're offering free psychiatric counselling as well as medical examinations. Please pray for these victims and for swift justice to be served. Lord knows they're going to need all the prayers they can get knowing some of their pics could be on the internet. My GOD in heaven! Why? Why do these things happen?

 

[Missizzy]

Thanks, Jersey*Girl--What worries me so much is the fact (which it sounds as if you are confirming) that Dr. Bradley has been seeing patients at several different locations; BayBee's, Lewes Pediatrics, and the Beebe Medical Center. Who knows what other doctors he's covered for. That just expands the number of possible victims. Oh, I'll bet the medical community is just reeling.

I've had children in the hospital where I haven't gotten every name of every physician who came in to check on my child on rounds. I had one child in a hospital in Portland (300 miles from home) for 7 months and I certainly wasn't there every second.

It worries me that some parents might not even know that Dr. Bradley saw their child. If you are a single parent or a parent from far away staying with a child in the hospital, you have to eat, take a shower, etc. Thank God for caring nurses and Ronald McDonald Houses. I have to agree, though, that it sounds as if the Beebe Medical Center is on top of things and the wagons are being circled around these victims and their families.

Thank goodness for all the help from the different Children's Advocacy Centers. I even read that if you've been impacted in any way (not a victim, but a community member), that there's help available. That seems very wise IMO. My guess is that this event is going to trigger a lot of PTSD for survivors.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

Here's a map of the locations as follows:
A = Beebe Medical Center = 424 Savannah Road Lewes, DE 19958
B = Perp's residence = 344 Savannah Road Lewes, DE 19958
C = BayBees Pediatrics = Route 1 & Kings Highway Lewes, DE 19958

*** Please note that the perps address is said to be one of places of victimization, where some filming or pics took place (and also where a computer was seized) which is why I'm including it on the map. Otherwise, I know not to use full addresses of residences. I think this one is allowed.

Respectfully bolded by me. No, I'm actually not sure that's a fact. I believe he used to be on staff at Beebe, but left to go with a private group practice or to start his own private practice. I believe he used to be on staff with Lewes Pediatrics, but he started Baybees a long time ago. I have friends that have used an office that had Bradley on staff but saw a different doctor. I have other friends that use Baybees but have seen somebody other than Bradley. Sometimes people consider the nurse practioner the same as a doctor, it's a common mistake. I went to school in the medical field & know the difference and importance of the titles. I seriously thought Bradley was part of a bigger practice involving other doctors, which is being told to me by my sons' godfather's brother & sil that live in Lewes. Something that was told to me tonight is that this didn't just start 11 years ago. Several people believe this has been ongoing most of his life. What sparked him to become so brazen as of late? How could somebody in the medical field go undetected for so long when involved in child , rape, & molestation? Surely he has a secretary...or nurse, or doctor's associate. There are other Baybees facilities, so I'm wondering if they back one another up. I have no idea. There's alot of mixed up feelings toward the whole medical establishment and police down there right now. The police & attorney general's office has stated that there may have been reports to initiate the investigation but they lacked the physical evidence needed to secure a conviction once Bradley would have been charged. That's why they hesitated until they had something more concrete. I tend to agree with the residents of the Lewes community. I believe the police should have erred on the side of caution and investigated him while suspending him from practicing. I believe the Board of medical Practioners should have been made aware from the very beginning. They weren't. People in the community were made to think that if he would have been arrested prematurely, then he could have destroyed evidence. I just don't see it. More people have been victimized b/c of this hesitation and now those people in the "know" have to live with that knowledge. I pretty much believe that there will be a huge fallout all the way around. Lewes is an incredibly small community... one that's completely full of very old history. This is one seriously heinous crime that is sure to have many arms of victimization. I feel sorry for those that have to live with this. May peace be with you all.

Jersey*Girl--Could you elaborate on this statement of yours from the post above:


"There are other Baybees facilities, so I'm wondering if they back one another up."


Are you saying that there's more than one BayBees? Is it a franchise? We were led to believe that Dr. Bradley built this practice from the ground up with a vision towards a "patient friendly" place. That's why all the toys, screening room, etc. Just wondering.

 

[Missizzy]

I was just speaking to my adult daughter about a vaccination which our granddaughter received this week, and she told me that the doctor finished the appt. and left the room to allow the nurse to administer the shot. This is exactly the way I've experienced countless vaccines and shots with my kids. When I've asked about this process, doctors have always winked and told me quietly that they don't want to be the "bad guys". The nurses get that job.

We all know that Dr. Bradley was pressuring parents to allow him unsupervised access. That's a given. But it hit me all of a sudden, that with this guy's focus on rape, he most certainly did not take the time to actually give a child taken to a private room, the necessary vaccine.

So, on top of all the mental and emotional anguish issues we've got going on here, we've also got an entire community of kids where no one knows if their child has been vaccinated as they believed. It seems like a small thing until whooping cough, Hep B, or the measles goes around.

After our children were raped, each had to endure a very uncomfortable and embarrassing exam. They also had to be tested for STD's and HIV. There's no way this man used a condom and it makes me sick to think of the risk he put each of these babies in. We have no idea with whom he was having sex or what viruses he might carry. I'm sure each of these children will have to go through the same testing. Internal damage can go undetected and cause severe problems and/or infertility down the line.

Those poor families. Those poor children. Can the state of Delaware even handle a case of this magnitude or would the feds step in to help? I'm starting to think that the Governor needs to declare a state of emergency.

I am guessing his behavior might have been escalating (from what I have read, there might be an addictive quality to pedophilia, and as such, the behavior might escalate). Especially if he thought he had gotten away with those acts previously.

I know that there's a Baybees in Lewes and also one in Milton. I thought there was at least one more but I don;t frequent Baybees, so I'm really not sure. I found a cache of a Baybees site with a female md listed instead of Bradley. I do think the higher scope of this drama has yet to unfold. I feel so very sorry for these victims. Sometimes I wish I was friends with people in jail so they could take care of this m f'r. It makes me so irate just thinking about it.

BTW, Happy New Year everybody!
