ANNAPOLIS, Maryland - A pediatrician charged with sexually abusing his patients likely attacked more than 100 children at an office he had decked out with a merry-go-round and a ferris wheel, a state official said Wednesday.
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.

The first red flag for parents that something might be amiss was the merry-go-round and the ferris wheel.
It was a medical office not Neverland.
The second REALLY BIG red flag (not included in your post) was that the doctor asked parents if he could take their children into another room where he could examine them alone.
You do NOT examine/interview children without a chaperone (preferably the parent) present.
Despite all the noble, politically-correct hyperbole about "privacy" and making sexually-active minors feel comfortable opening up about their behavior, I will not even talk to an adolescent alone. There must be someone else in the room. And I still prefer it to be the parent. Part of the doctor's job, IMHO, is to encourage the parent/child to trust and talk to one another.
It's a lost art.
I thought the large toys were overboard. I wasn't aware of the second. Thanks for mentioning that.
I remember my pediatrician was Dr. Quess, a lady doctor in a sterile white environment. I liked her.
I read it in one of the news accounts. Apparently they have video of this sicko.
Re: the big toys. People these days go for cheap flash. Medicine is Walmart.
