Child abuse The physical abuse of children accounts for many deaths each year in the United States. Physicians who care for children must acquaint themselves with the signs of battering, sexual abuse, and nutritional deprivation. For the protection of children, the laws in all states require the reporting of all cases of suspected child abuse. Illustrated in Fig 28-1 are typical loop marks in a child who was struck with a doubled-over rope or electrical cord.
