More than three million American children are victims of abuse each year, and 2,000 die.
Babies are especially vulnerable.
One common problem is shaken baby syndrome. It can lead to shaken baby syndrome. The theory about what is happening is that when a child is shaken violently, the brain actually moves within the skull and cannot only be bruised as it strikes the inside of the skull, but also veins that are in the brain are torn, causing bleeding. A child that presents comatose due to shaken baby syndrome has about a 60 percent chance of dying from it. Prevention is the key.
