dc.description.abstractAn estimated 2,000 children die from abuse and neglect each year. Approximately 40% of those children are under one year old, and the majority are under five years old.2 It has been estimated that in the 42 years since Dr. C. Henry Kempe first described the Battered Child Syndrome, more children have died from abuse and neglect than from urban gang wars, AIDS or measles.3Our society has made great strides in improving other health and safety conditions that in many instances cause untimely deaths, e.g., through immunization efforts and DWI campaigns. However, the public attention and commitment given to the deaths of children due to abuse and neglect by caregivers remain inadequate.en_US
