Chenoweth, P. R. (1993, April 19). Don't blame the messenger in child sex abuse cases. New Jersey Law Journal, p. 17.

Priscilla Read Chenoweth, a New Jersey lawyer and senior case editor of the New Jersey Law Journal , notes that Gardner makes sweeping assertions that when a sexual abuse allegation arises in the context of custody disputes or day-care centers: "the problem is not the sexual abuse of children but `vengeful wives' and 'hysterical mothers'." 
"Gardner's extravagant and conclusory language, and his obvious bias against women, should be enough to give any judge or lawyer pause before accepting his invitation to disbelieve and even punish the messenger"  (p. 17).
