Brain Scans Reveal Abuse—Oregon DHS Turns Blind Eye
What may be a flashpoint case has gripped Oregon. The Amen Clinic’s SPECT imaging revealed traumatic brain injuries in Martina Flanigan’s children—evidence pointing to severe abuse. Despite this, Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS) and Family Court have dismissed the scientific findings, targeting Flanigan for her advocacy. Protective mothers and their families face retaliation, while abusers remain shielded. This case underscores a systemic failure where science is sidelined, and children’s safety is compromised. The question remains: when will Oregon prioritize the well-being of its most vulnerable over bureaucratic denial and institutional inertia?
