Effects
The story of Candace's death was a national one in the United States, with contemporaneous reports about her death and the subsequent trial of her therapists appearing in newspapers and news magazines around the country, and even internationally.
The case also generated enduring controversy about attachment therapy. It was the motivation behind "Candace's Law", in Colorado and North Carolina, which outlawed dangerous re-enactments of the birth experience. The US House of Representatives and Senate have separately passed resolutions urging similar actions in other states.
Candace's death inspired fictional accounts on at least three television crime dramas. An episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation had a teenage boy dying while being "reborn" to his mother. Two others were murders mysteries on the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode 'Cage' and on the Law & Order episode 'Born Again'.
