Abstract

BAYONA SANTANA, Diana Rosa et al. Child abuse. Presentation of a case. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.2, pp. 495-503. ISSN 1684-1824.

ABSTRACT Child abuse is a problem of deep psychological, social, ethical, juridical and medical repercussions. The definition of abuse implies a social judgment in relation of what is dangerous or inadequate for a child. This is the cause of the enormous difficulty of defining it. An uncommon case of child abuse is described in this article. It ended up with the death of the 22-years-months child who, according with the data given by the police instruction, was death when arrived to the Emergency Unit on October 4th 2015 at night. At the arrival, the caregiver doctor stated that the child was death, and at the physical examination she presented multiple recent and old lesions in the body. It was recorded the antecedent of family abuse in several occasions, being the last one around two days ago.

Keywords : abuse; child abuse; medical-psychological repercussion.
