Save abused children
Each year, hundreds of children in the USA were brutally attacked and even killed by their own parents. During the year 1962 has received the American Humane Association found 662 newspaper reports of parents, beat, burned, drowned, suffocated and covered their children with weapons ranging from baseball bats in plastic bags. Most victims are between four and a fourth death. If all of these cases have been reported, say some experts, which had reached a total of 10000 per year. Many doctors believe that American children are killed by their parents as car accidents, leukemia or muscular dystrophy. But the problem is more Medical. “Battered Child Syndrome” witness the problems of children to fight-a law the most recent headaches.
Insurance reports. “Child abuse is not a new phenomenon,” said Catherine B. DeHinger, head of the U.S. Children’s Bureau. What is new is the increasing violence and attacks. Under the stress of modern life more and more parents seem fireplace anger and frustration about the most straightforward in his hand. But while it is relatively easy to detect a case of child beating, it is relatively difficult, ‘ nab child racket. Always deny responsibility, which are often the victim to another doctor any fight. Given that the child can rarely speak for itself, attacks by denial of strengthening parental authority, a physician reluctance natural to consider, to fly as a cause of injury. For something more serious, doctors fear that, because of defamation, when the head of the police and cargo to be false.
In a head-on attack the problem, the Children’s Bureau, a model of the status of all laws, doctors and hospitals to report immediately struck suspected child to the police. Willentliche failure to report orally and in writing as soon as possible an offence. (Beating itself is a crime.) Same time, the model law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability of all reports in “good faith”. Already 21 countries have adopted some form, by law. The assembly of New Jersey made last spring, for example, after the horror, impressed by the case of a girl of six years, police found badly beaten and wearing a dog collar around his neck.
Is this the law enough? Unfortunately, even the best child abuse laws are useless if the reports of physicians are not actually prosecuted. The American Humane Association’s Vincent Francis, the idea of reporting to the police. “This means that the display of the case for possible criminal prosecution of the parent company,” said De Francis. But parental guilt is often impossible to prove, and prevent the threat very worthwhile parents, medical aid. As Ms. DeHinger it expresses: “The Children’s Bureau do not want a brutal prison parents as well as to save the child.”
