Abstrakt: The recognition of child abuse as an evil, as opposed to a parental right, is relatively modern. The first clear medical description of the abuse of children was in 1860 when Ambroise Tardieu described the soft tissue, skeletal and intracranial injuries suffered by 32 Parisian children (Tardieu 1860; Labbe 2005). In 1946, Caffey described the association between subdural haematoma and long bone fractures and stated that the injuries "were either not observed or were denied when observed" (Caffey 1946). Further recognition of the condition followed and in 1961 when Kempe et al. (1962) coined the powerful term ‘the battered child' for a multidisciplinary meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Within 5 years, every US state had passed a child abuse reporting law [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
