Summary: Is this a child abuse case?

There was a similar (same?) case mentioned in Newsweek a while back
involving, if I remember rightly, child abuse at a daycare center.  The
amount of evidence needed to lay this type of charge compares
unfavorably to the amount of evidence used in Salem Mass in 1692.  In
this current case a caseworker was found to have manufactured evidence
but nothing was done beyond the charges being dropped.
