Diana Marrero can be reached at dmarrero@sun-sentinel.com or 305-810-5005, should anyone wish to contact her and alert her that she has been spoonfed erroneous information by Mr. Slattery for the purposes of bolstering-- at the expense of accurate reporting-- the false belief that polygraphy is anything but a pseudo-scientific fraud.

The Rilya Wilson is a heart felt tragedy for all Floridians. A tragedy that has resulted from the gross incompetence and negligence of the Florida Dept. Of Children and Family Services. For me, the buck stops at the Govenors Office and is why Jeb Bush will be rejected by Floridians.

Now, I no fan of Geralyn Graham. Her claim is someone from DCF came to pick up the child for a medical examination. On the steps of the Miami Dade County Police Dept. Govenor Bush rejected her claims as lies and stated she showed deception on her polygraph.

Now here is the scary part. After her statement that someone from DCF or posing as an agent of DCF came to pick up the child three other foster care parents reported similar incidents.

These reports have been down played by the media and the police. However, a new policy now requires the presents of a Police officer before DCF is allowed to remove or take custody of a child.

Ms, Grahams character brings forth many questions, like why the State of Florida would place a child in her household. But just maybe she is telling the truth and just maybe law enforcements investigation is being misdirected by the results of her polygraph.

Follow this story. I would not be surprized if in the end it turns out this child was abducted by some sick f*** posing as an agent of DCF.

sie,

To date, I have not received any response from Mr. Slattery or the South Florida Sun Herald.

A week has passed without a word from Mr. Slattery regarding his claim that polygraphs are nearly 100 percent reliable. It seems he's prepared to take a place in the Polygraph Hall of Shame, where he'll be joining other polygraphers who have misled the media:

Milton O. "Skip" Webb, Jr. (President, American Polygraph Association)

Frank Horvath (Past President, American Polygraph Association)

Harry Reed (President, Illinois Polygraph Society)

I say the polygraph is not reliable and I never had my lies revealed for the simple reason that I didn't tell any lies.  Despite that, I failed three out of four polygraphs.

If the polygraph was reliable I would have passed all four tests because I was telling the truth on all of them and my answers didn't change on any of them.

exactly~

My 'non-response ' isn't obvious? 
Both responses to my comment seem to support my thoughts.
How many scientists have made claims to something they never experienced and later their 'theory' was 'proven' incorrect? 
I think one fact about the polygraph test is that it is a machine,
the machine is not doing the thinking, it is mearly reporting on what it is being fed. The element that makes the test accurate is the person creating the testing questions and how skillfully they ask the same questions in different contexts. Doing this with intelligence and skill is how George Slattery's important work he did came to be amicable as evidence in a court of law on so many national cases* 
GBS has been quoted many times in his life, unless you had a face to face conversation with GBS it makes you a bit small to judge him*
You are supported by others that have limited knowledge of the wide range of actual facts on this matter and I dont expect to suddenly enlighten any of you* My best to all of you*
