___THE INFORMATION BELOW IS CONFIDENTIAL - FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
ba bircant 03. 2017 at approximately 0930 hours, I contacted Ms. Renee Petro, per the request of Lt. Frail at VCU
'ystems. I was advised that Ms, Petro was trying to seek guidance in reference to an ongoing stalking case.
Upon speaking with Ms. Petro, she advised me that her son, Brandon Petro, was currently being treated at Main
Hospital- 7th Floor Pediatric Unit. She stated that in order to understand her concems, she would need to start at the
beginning. Ms. Petro advised that Brandon was a healthy child up until the age of 8 years. She stated that sometime
during the year of his 8th birthday, Brandon developed what presented as a cold and a fever. She stated that doctors
told her the Brandon would recover and provided normal over-the-counter medication. She advised that 5 days later,
‘she was traveling overseas with Brandon in Jordan when he began to have seizures. She advised that Brandon was
‘transported to a hospital in Germany where he was diagnosed with Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome
(FIRES), which is a severe brain disorder that does not respond to seizure medications. Ms. Petro stated that Brandon
‘was in a coma for some time but eventually regained consiousness and made a recovery. She stated that Brandon was
released from the hospital and began walking and talking again, and was even able to ride a bicycle. Ms. Petro stated
that this changed 2-3 months ago when Brandon was diagnosed with Colitis while living at their home in Tampa, FL.
Ms. Petro advised that Brandon was admitted to St. John’s Hospital, as the colitis began triggering more seizures.
‘She stated that St. John’s Hospital advised that they had patients’ families who had transferred to Cumberland
Children’s Hospital in New Kent, VA. They would not refer Ms. Petro, as they advised that they themselves did not
have knowledge of the hospital; they suggested that she take a tour and see if it may be a good fit for Brandon.
Ms. Petro advised that in August, Brandon was discharged from St. John’s and she then put Brandon in Cumberland
Hospital for Children. She advised that while there, Brandon's condition began to deteriorate. She advised that
Brandon was physically abused by Dr. Daniel Davidow, the medical director, resulting in lacerations and bruising all
over Brandon's body. She advised that Brandon was neglected medically and was not fed. She advised that she began
receiving calls from nurses at Cumberland Hospital telling her that if she did not get Brandon out of the hospital,
something bad was going to happen to him. Ms. Petro advised that on September 22, 2017 she discharged Brandon
from Cumberland Hospital and that Brandon was unresponsive by that point. She brought Brandon directly to VCU
Health Systems, where he was immediately admitted into inpateint Pediatric Intensive Care,
Ms. Petro stated that she began to receive phone calls and emails from Dr. Davidow, asking about Brandon's
condition and requesting that he see him. Ms. Petro advised that she told Dr. Davidow that she did not want any
contact from him and to leave her and her son alone. Ms. Petro stated that a doctor at VCU Health Systems received
‘call from Davidow inquiring the same about her son; the doctor provided information about Brandon without his
‘mother's consent. She stated that a short time later, Dr. Davidow showed up at VCU Health Systems and again she
told him to leave and that she did not want to discuss anything about her son with him. She alerted security, who was
able to obtain a current photo of Dr. Davidow and the photo was disseminated for awareness. Dr. Davidow"s
privileges were suspended at VCU Health System following this incident,

room speaking with Dr. when Dr. Davidow walked in. Dr. immediately addressed Dr. Davidow and told
him that he was not welcome and needed to leave. Ms. Petro stated that Davidow began to tell her that he knew what
‘was wrong with her son. She advised that Dr. Davidow would not leave and eventually had to be escorted off the
floor and out of the hospital by security.
Ms. Petro stated that her son is not the only one who has been abused by Dr. Davidow. She cited that after Brandon
receiving more calls and messages from employees and nurses who work at Cumberland
fs.
is in regular contact with these witnesses and some of the nurses have even visited Brandon on the
floor at VCU Health Systems.
MS. Petro stated that her son almost died as a result of Dr. Davidow’s neglect and abuse at Cumberland Hospital. She
stated that Brandon has reverted behaviorally to the age of an infant; he must wear diapers and she advised that he
has been chewing on things like a toddler who is teething. She is highly distraught and advised that she owes it not
only to her son to protect him. but also to the other potential victims still in the care of Dr. Davidow, to speak up and
report. Ms. Petro advised that she has reported Cumberland Hospital to the Board and VA Department of Health. She
is interested in reporting to New Kent County Sheriff's Office but that she has concerns due to the fact that Davidow
is highly respected in the community and has been practicing in that small town for nearly 38 years.
explained to Ms. Petro that I could assist her with filing a protective order and also reported the physical abuse to
New Kent when she was ready to do so. We will be mecting on Thursday morning at 0930 hrs at Gateway Hospital. I
will provide her with transportation to the courthouse and will assist in petitioning for a protective order. I have
‘emailed advocate at the courthouse to give her a heads up as to what we will be seeking on
‘Thursday.
