Leah is suspicious of Dorothy's intentions, but Marcus thinks Dorothy is just trying to be a good friend and dismisses his wife's concerns. "and dismisses his wife's concerns" seems tautological. How about "but Marcus reassures her that Dorothy is just trying to be a good friend"?

ALT2: ... that the 1999 television film Down Will Come Baby aired two weeks after the Columbine High School massacre and was criticized for exploiting parental fears with its depiction of child violence? Several sources as cited in the article.
