Well, I do believe that modern science is familiar with RAD. From 'emedicine' (scroll down),using the American Psychological Association's definition: Reactive attachment disorder Reactive attachment disorder (RAD), as defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), requires etiologic factors, such as gross deprivation of care or successive multiple caregivers, for diagnosis.

And also from MedicinePlus:Reactive attachment disorder is a disturbance of social interaction caused by neglect of a child's basic physical and emotional needs, particularly during infancy.

It may be a relatively newly recognized phenomenon but it is nonetheless recognized and defined by medical groups. And medical groups are part of modern science.

"The department’s intense interest in my family stems from an allegation of child abuse related to our oldest son who was adopted at birth"


They may have a cause to be suspicious
