Product Description
Silenced Angels: The Medical, Legal and Social Aspects of Shaken Baby Syndrome delves into the realms of child abuse that has never been explored before in such detail. The book examines how the physical assault of violent shaking on a young body can lead to a lifetime of despair or even death. Every important detail of this tragic form of child abuse is analyzed, providing the reader a more definitive understanding of the condition known as SBS. This is the first book written exclusively about SBS, which is 100% preventable. SBS cases can be frequently misdiagnosed and are more frequently under-investigated and poorly prosecuted, leading to a sense of injustice among families and child abuse prevention advocates. |

This is an excellent book that explaines shaken baby syndrom in words that a non-medical person can understand. It's easy to read and to understand what you are reading. It's a book taking the wealth of information and putting it into one book. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially thoughs who are parents, child care provider, foster parents. Never, never, shake a baby!

She had known, and later admitted, that what she did was wrong, but after...
