Child abuse commonly underpins adult depression. Child abuse is classified into four categories; physical, sexual, mental and neglect. This paper will study and discuss the rate of depression caused by child abuse at the time of the abuse, the data collected from the first section of the survey, which consisted of two categorical questions. There are two questions that this research will try to answer; have more females experienced one or multiple types of abuse during their childhood compared to male? And have the ones who have experienced abuse suffered from a degree of depression at the time of the abuse. The depression test that consisted of four questions that determined the participant’s depression percentage The result and tables have been duplicated from the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP), 21 females and 36 males participated in the survey. In total 57 students answered the questions that were sent through email.  73% of the participants said that they were not abused as a child in any of the forms. 27% of the participants have been abused in one or more of the ways as a child., further, 71.4% of the abuse were physical followed by mental and neglect (28%. 28%, respectively). Likely there were zero records of sexual abuse.  Most of the abuse was happening around age 1-5  years and less likely on age 1-5 and above. Females become more depressed than males. 57.2% of the abused children were suffering from anxiety followed by an interruption in their relationship and low self esteem It can be concluded that more female were abused as a child. We can see that the constant (Male) is 49.29 and the female participants are 26.34 more than the constant. This proves that females become more depressed than men. Therefore, much work will need to Protect the children from harm.

The authors retrospectively reviewed all homicides of children under 15 years of age referred to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Lausanne from January 1990 to December 2000. We report on 41 cases during this eleven-year period. Among those, 17 newborns and 24 older children, a higher proportion of males was found. Regarding newborn homicides, when the identity of the mother was known she was always identified as the perpetrator. With non-newborn homicides, the majority of the victims were killed at home and knew the offender. Two common profiles of these homicides could be determined. In the first scenario, one of the parents shot all the children and committed suicide afterwards. The second profile is defined as `fatal child abuse' and concerned younger victims whose cause of death was the result of a cranio-cerebral trauma from battering or shaken baby syndrome.

In France, the current recommendation is to perform a routine abdominopelvic ultrasound in any child under 2 years of age who is suspected to have been abused. We retrospectively studied the relevance of this practice in our center over the past fifteen years. This was a descriptive, retrospective study of all children under 2 years of age who had been subject to suspected abuse. Abdominal images and reports were reviewed and cross-referenced with possible clinical and biological signs. Four hundred and five children were included between 2006 and 2020, of whom 296 underwent abdominal imaging (2 initial abdominopelvic CT scans, 4 ultrasounds followed by CT scans, and 290 ultrasounds alone). Four examinations revealed traumatic abnormalities related to abuse. These four children all had clinical or biological anomalies. In the absence of clinical or biological signs, no imagery showed any abnormality related to abuse.

Šių traumų klinikiniai požymiai nėra specifiniai, todėl nesant tikslių anamnezės duomenų šių traumų diagnostika nėra lengva. Šio tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti vaikų smurtinių traumų ypatumus, lyginant jas su atsitiktinėmis traumomis. Metodai Retrospektyviai analizuota vaikų, gydytų Vilniaus universiteto vaikų ligoninėje 2001-2005 metais, medicininiai dokumentai. Tirta po 200 ligonių, gydytų dėl smurtinių ir atsitiktinių traumų stacionare ir po 100 ligonių, gydytų ambulatoriškai. Analizuotos traumų priežastys, padariniai ir sunkumas. Rezultatai Vaikų smurtinių ir atsitiktinių traumų priežastys buvo skirtingos. Smurtinėms traumoms buvo būdingi galvos smegenų sužeidimai (55,5%), nosies kaulų, delnakaulių lūžiai, durtinės bei šautinės žaizdos, dauginiai kūno sumušimai. Jos buvo sunkesnės nei atsitiktinės traumos. Šioms buvo būdingi įvairių kūno vietų sumušimai, žaizdos, nudegimai, pavienių kaulų lūžiai. Išvados Vaikų smurtinių ir atsitiktinių traumų priežastys, sužeidimai ir sunkumas buvo skirtingi. Smurtinės traumos buvo daug sunkesnės pagal klinikinius kriterijus ir pediatrinę traumų skalę. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: vaikų smurtinės ir atsitiktinės traumos, ypatumai Specific features of the child abuse Jolanta Labanauskienė1, Haroldas Bernotas1, Benjaminas Siaurusaitis21 Vilnius University Childrens Hospital, Santariškių str. 7, LT-08406 Vilnius, Lithuania2 Clinic of Childrens Diseases of Vilnius University Medical Faculty,Santariškių str. 7, LT-08406 Vilnius, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] Background / objective Child abuse trauma is a concerning issue worldwide, also in Lithuania. Clinical signs of such traumas are not specific, therefore, in lack of definite anamnestic data, the diagnostics of child abuse traumas is complicated. The purpose of this research is to determine the features of child abuse traumas by comparing them to accidental traumas. Methods A retrospective study of medical documents was carried out with regard to the children treated at Vilnius University Children’s Hospital in 2001–2005. The study included two groups. Each group included 200 in-patients and 100 out-patients with abuse and accidental traumas. The causes, consequences and severity of traumas were analyzed. Results Causes of child abuse traumas differed from those of accidental traumas. Child abuse traumas typically included cerebral affection (55.5% ), broken nasal and metacarpus bones, punctured and gunshot wounds and multiple body bruises. These traumas were more severe than accidental traumas which typically included bruises of different body parts, wounds, burns and single broken bones. Conclusions The causes, consequences and severity of child abuse traumas were different from those of accidental traumas. With regard to clinical criteria and according to the Pediatric Trauma Scale, abuse traumas were much more severe than accidental traumas. Key words: child abuse and accidental injuries, specific features
