"Video, or it didn’t happen. This is 2014, everyone has a camera in their pocket."

This statement repudiates what was said by the Indiana DCS social worker Valerie Washington, and the RN at the hospital, Willie Lee Walker, both of whom were there in the hospital room and were eye-witnesses. You didn't mention them by name, but you are clearly dismissing their testimony.

According to the article, there's an 800-page official record compiled by the DCS, and no evidence (yet) of fraud.

My view is that we're not in any position to say "It didn't happen". To reach a sound explanation, this needs, not instant judgment, but careful, unbiased investigation.

“Video, or it didn’t happen” is a common figure of speech in use on the internet, not some attempt to attack the witnesses. It’s basically the equivalent of “I’ll believe it when I see it”. Or, I could have just as well used another, more classic figure of speech: “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. Eyewitnesses are not extraordinary evidence, not by a long shot.
