According to Child Maltreatment & Neglect Statistics | American SPCC Recognizing the signs of physical child abuse is crucial to preventing child abuse.

“Physical abuse is any non-accidental act that results in the child’s physical injury. Inflicted physical injury most often represents unreasonably severe corporal punishment or unjustifiable punishment. This usually happens when a person is frustrated or angry and strikes, shakes, or throws the child. Intentional, deliberate assault, such as burning, biting, cutting, poking, twisting limbs, or otherwise torturing a child, is also included in this category of child abuse.”

SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME PREVENTION

NEVER SHAKE A BABY!

CRYING IS NORMAL. SHAKING IS NOT.

According to the CDC….

PREVENTING SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME

“Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is preventable. The definition of shaken baby syndrome is quite simple; it is a severe form of physical child abuse resulting from violent shaking of an infant by the shoulders, arms, or legs. SBS may result from both shaking alone or from shaking with impact.

Babies, newborn to one year (especially babies ages 2 to 4 months), are at greatest risk of injury from shaking. Shaking them violently can trigger a “whiplash” effect that can lead to internal injuries—including bleeding in the brain or in the eyes. Often there are no obvious external physical signs, such as bruising or bleeding, to indicate an injury.

The number one reason a child is shaken is because a parent or caregiver becomes so frustrated with a baby’s crying that they lose control and begin to shake them. They are usually average people, who in the heat of their frustration and anger lose control, and shake their child. Most people charged with shaking their baby have no previous history of violence, and the act is unintended. However, the effects of shaken baby syndrome can still be severe.”

ACCORDING TO CDC STATISTiCS

‘It is difficult to know the exact number of SBS cases per year because many cases of SBS are underreported and/ or never receive a diagnosis. However, a study of North Carolina SBS cases suggests that as many as three to four children a day experience severe or fatal head injury from child abuse in the United States.”

I have to tell you I knew that child abuse was definitely a BIG ISSUE here in the United States and other countries as well, but come on people STOP HURTING YOUR KIDS!

If you cannot show them goodness and love then stop having babies!

You see there is an old adage that says “TREAT OTHERS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED” that means your children as well…
