I did a search to find out when children stopped being featured on milk cartons, and found this:
Milk cartons eventually stopped featuring missing children in the late 1980s, after prominent pediatricians like Benjamin Spock and T. Berry Brazelton worried that they frightened children unnecessarily. Even as they waned, however, portraits on cartons remained a potent symbol. In 1988, presidential candidate Bruce Babbitt took heat for suggesting that fellow candidate Al Gore be featured on a milk carton after he skipped the Iowa caucuses. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2012/04/etan_patz_case_why_did_dairies_put_missing_children_on_their_milk_cartons_.html
So, I checked out Dr. Brazelton and I'm seeing a lot of parallels we've seen lately, which I've bolded.
Brazelton was born in Waco, Texas. He graduated in 1940 from Princeton and in 1943 from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, where he accepted a medical internship at Roosevelt Hospital. From 1945, after war service in the U.S. Navy, he completed his medical residency in Boston Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) before undertaking pediatric training at Children's Hospital of Boston.
*He entered private practice in 1950, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His interest in child development led to training in child psychiatry at MGH and the James Jackson Putnam Children's Center. He subsequently served as a Fellow with Professor Jerome Bruner at the *Center for Cognitive Studies at Harvard University, then combined his interests in primary care pediatrics and child psychiatry and in 1972 established the Child Development Unit, a pediatric training and research center at Children's Hospital in Boston. Since 1988, he has been Clinical Professor of Pediatrics Emeritus at Harvard Medical School.
*Brazelton was president of the Society for Research in Child Development (1987–1989), and of the National Center for Clinical Infant Programs (1988–1991). He appeared many times before Congressional committees in support of parental and medical leave bills, and continued to work with the Alliance for Better Child Care for a more comprehensive day care bill. He was a co-founder of Parent Action and served on the *National Commission on Children.
*Brazelton appeared several times on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and the *'Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
This here sounds a lot like Alfred Kinsey's "research":
Brazelton's foremost achievement in pediatrics and child development has been to increase pediatricians' awareness of, and attention to, the effect of young children's behavior, activity states, and emotional expressions on the ways their parents react to, and thereby affect them. For example, one of his first publications in the field of psychology was a study with Kenneth Kaye of the interaction between babies' sucking at breast or bottle and the mother's attempts to maintain it, the earliest form of human "dialogue".

I've always blamed Dr. Spock for how children misbehave today because of his silly time-out recommendation. Most everyone knows there's a difference between abuse and discipline, but let's not get distracted by arguing about this. Here's the info:
*Spock was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to try to understand children's needs and family dynamics. His ideas about childcare influenced several generations of *parents to be more flexible and affectionate with their children, and to treat them as individuals. However, his theories were also widely criticized by colleagues for relying too heavily on anecdotal evidence rather than serious academic research.
Spock was an activist in the New Left and anti Vietnam War movements during the 1960s and early 1970s. At the time, his books were criticized for propagating permissiveness and an expectation of instant gratification which allegedly led young people to join these movements—a charge that Spock denied. Spock also won an Olympic gold medal in rowing in 1924 while attending Yale University.
At Yale, he was inducted into the Eta chapter of Zeta Psi and then into the senior society Scroll and Key. - The oldest secret society at Yale.

Dr. Spock's second wife was 40 years his junior.
I find all of this very strange. We have Connecticut (Sandy Hook) and Cambridge connections and two doctors who were heavily interested and involved with newborn and child psychology, elite universities, secret societies, a man who married a woman much, much younger than himself, strange research that resembles pedo activities, and child psychology that may have been related to MK Ultra, but more research is needed. All of these details scream Pizzagate. Please help dig into these men and any colleagues they worked with.
It sure seems like bullshit to hide missing children's ads because it would scare children. Maybe they were involved with the cults themselves.

I believe Robert D. is a different Putnam, a political scientist who has written about children in a societal context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_D._Putnam
Btw, the Putnam Children's Center closed in 1979. Here's a short history on it: https://bpsi.org/library/exhibits/exhibits_putnamctr.html

Thanks, for the direction. These names being the same are tripping me up! I'll check out that link.
Meanwhile, in other news, I just found that Dr. Spock's grandson committed suicide nearby the Children's Museum where his father was the director. https://www.nytimes.com/1983/12/28/us/autopsy-performed-on-spock-grandson-boston-police-report.html

Wasn't it his son (not grandson) that committed suicide? I just read that in a Wikileak!
Enigmatic_Continuum ago
What?!!? Very strange indeed. According to the article I linked, it was his grandson. Maybe there's something really strange going on here like maybe, and I'm just speculating here, one of his sons impregnated his 2nd wife. After all, she was 40 years younger than he was. Technically, it would be his son and his grandson all in one!
Cc1914 ago
Oh my ! That is a possibility! Good thinking , I will dig more on this too .

Thanks, and good luck on your hunt! It's not going to be easy. I'd help, but I have to run out for now, but will check later on if you don't turn up anything.

Yes, the entire incident seems extremely bizarre. Given that those close to Dr. Spock have reported that he wasn't that great of a dad and that his sons appeared distant and detached, there was something going on in that family. Let's remember that Spock's first wife, this son's grandmother, was an alcoholic with mental issues, then he practically immediately married a woman 40 years younger than himself. What did this grandson know? What happened to Spock's first wife? Did she end up committing suicide? Was she institutionalized? So many questions. I guess it's possible that the grandson suffered the same mental illness as his grandmother, but as we've seen with abuse, it's familial and generational.
