"Creator Of “Your Baby Can Read” Program Settles False Advertising Charges"
If your are gullible, there's always someone to take your money.
Secondly, the desire to have successful children can override common sense.
As I read this, I wonder if the media promoted or was skeptical about this...

Chris Morran brings us up-to-date on questionable program:
"Almost exactly two years after the Federal Trade Commission accused the people behind the popular 'Your Baby Can Read' training program of making deceptive advertising claims, the product’s creator has finally reached a deal to settle charges that he and his company made baseless pronouncements about the effectiveness of the program and that they misrepresented scientific studies to prove these bogus statements.
'Your Baby Can Read', created by Dr. Robert Titzer, raked in more than $185 million from the sales of its $200 kits. The program made claims in ads, infomercials, and on social media that it could teach babies to read as early as nine months out of the womb, and that kids who used YBCR could handle reading something as complicated as a Harry Potter book by the age of three or four."
