Abstract

This is the Final Report to the Governor's Office, the Senate Public Safety Committee, the House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee and Members of the General Assembly detailing the findings of the independent review by Linda L. Ammons, Esq., Associate Provost and Dean of The Widener University School of Law pursuant to Executive Order No. 16, attached hereto as Exhibit B. The genesis of Executive Order No. 16 was the December 16, 2009 arrest of Delaware pediatrician Dr. Earl B. Bradley, who was charged and recently indicted on hundreds of charges alleging that Dr. Bradley had sexually assaulted children in his care. Allegations of sexual abuse and/or misconduct by Dr. Bradley first came to the attention of Delaware law enforcement in 2005 and came to the attention of licensees of the Delaware Board of Medical Practice at least 10 years prior to his arrest. As a result, Executive Order 16 tasked Dean Linda Ammons with conducting an independent review of the State's policies and statutory and administrative procedures governing child sexual abuse and exploitation, and, as a result of the review, make recommendations that will foster a child protection community of collaboration and accountability to better protect Delaware's children from predators. This is Dean Linda Ammons' final report in accordance with Executive Order No. 16.
