abstract="The pediatrician and other emergency room caregivers are often on the frontlines in the identification and treatment of child abuse and neglect. The ability to recognize the possibility of intentional injury is crucial because immediate intervention may be necessary to prevent further harm to the child. The evaluation requires a careful taking of history, thorough physical examination, and detailed documentation. Reporting of suspected abuse or neglect is mandated and must be made to appropriate authorities. Follow-up of medical treatment, services, and available therapy should be emphasized to assure the continued safety of the child.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
