I have received a pm from a new member who has yet to post. I'm not sure if it is 'proper' to repeat all that was said, since none of the claims about Dr. KE were backed up, and I can't find anything on the net to confirm, but it containes the purported name of Dr. KE's former husband, a Dr. Kamil Bahou, who was a Child Psychiatrist. If Dr. KE learned anything from this CHILD Psychiatrist, his professional and personal behavior, aghhh:
