Introduction. The problem of non-accidental injury has long been analyzed as a public health problem generating high social and economic costs. Aim. The aim of the study is to present views on the etiology of occurrence of the phenomenon of child abuse and its identification in order to take effective interventions interrupting the phenomenon of improper handling of a child. Material and methods. The publications in the PubMed scientific database were reviewed by applying the search criteria for the following keywords in Polish and English: “non-accidental injuries”, “children and adolescents”, “child abuse”, “identification of the phenomenon”, “perpetrator’s psychological profile”, “improper handling of the child”, “social and economic costs”, “public health”. Results. Medical community plays an important role in diagnosing non-accidental injuries. For a dental team, that may be dealing with physical violence injuries, correctly taken medical history and compliance of information provided by the child’s caregiver with visible head and neck post-traumatic injuries is the key factor to differentiate the origins of the trauma. By recognising the multifaceted risk factors in regards to child abuse (resulting due to the environment, the structure of the family, the life situation of the parent or directly related to the child), medical team will be required to intervene to stop child abuse. Conclusions. The authors of studies from various countries agree that despite many publications on the occurrence of the phenomenon of improper handling of a child, there is a need to constantly work on the competences of professionals in the child’s environment – including the dental environment, which can and should effectively respond to violence against children.

Non Accidental Injury

A case of non-accidental injury to an infant caused by the discharge of an air pistol is presented, the first such case to be reported. A two-month-old baby was shot at close range by his father with a ***.177 air pistol. A false account of the cause of the injury was given by the father and initially supported by the mother. The pellet penetrated the skin in the centre of the child's forehead and lodged in the anterior wall of the sagittal sinus. It was removed under general anaesthetic and the child made an uncomplicated recovery. The father was subsequently convicted and jailed for the assault. The relevant literature on air weapon injuries and bizarre forms of child abuse is discussed.

Introduction. Post-traumatic injuries are significant problems of paedodontic dentistry that parents with children urgently report to dental practice. Aim. The aim of the study is to indicate the necessity of maintaining the victimological awareness of the dental team in assessing injuries of deciduous and permanent teeth in terms of differentiating accidental and non-accidental injuries. Material and methods. The publications in the PubMed scientific database were reviewed by applying the search criteria for the following keywords in Polish and English: “non-accidental injury”, “children and youth”, “perpetrator of abuse”, “phenomenon identification”, “interview and clinical examination”. Results. Interview and clinical examination are among the basic diagnostic tools for correct diagnosis, which results in the implementation of proper therapeutic management in a child after an injury. This also an opportunity to observe disturbing behavior of children that may indicate abuse. Regardless of the provided information, the subject examination is verifying the compliance of an interview with post-traumatic injuries arising in a simple physical mechanism – the greater the energy, the greater destruction. This will provide relevant information that verifies the compliance of the interview with the clinical examination, thanks to the reliable victimological knowledge of the dentist, results in the correct diagnosis, implementation of appropriate treatment, and child abuse intervention. Conclusions. The likelihood of a child’s non-accidental injury requires medical professionals to take decisive action to protect the child from the effects of physical violence in particular during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which minors forced by the external situation spend more time with perpetrators of abuse, they are more exposed to harm. Victimology education and an appropriate response to child abuse will allow for effective intervention regarding both the therapeutic process and measures to prevent further harm to children.

Non Accidental Injury

A total population study of neonaticide, infanticide and child homicide is reported. There are seven defineable syndromes of unlawful child killing which include: neonaticide, infanticide, non-accidental injury, the deprivation-starvation syndrome, euthanasia, killing of family members followed by the suicide of the killer, and child murder. 49 such cases are reported from a base population of 2 million people, over a 10-year period of investigation. The syndromes of neonaticide and non-accidental injury each contribute some 20 per cent of cases in the full spectrum of unlawful child killing. 18 cases of fatal non-accidental injury were reported over this time. With modern crisis intervention facilities, standard hospital rules for the management of acute cases of non-accidental injury, and co-ordinated child abuse centres, approximately 2 per cent only of non-accidental injury cases should come to a fatal conclusion.

Tissue Injuries

The patterns of soft tissue injuries in a group of 154 children reported to protective services for child abuse or neglect were compared with patterns of soft tissue injury found in a group of 91 emergency room patients who sustained an accidental injury and 105 children seen in a pediatric ambulatory clinic. All children in the three groups were 1 to 12 years old. Children in the suspected child abuse and neglect group had significantly more (P < .01) soft tissue injuries over the cheeks, trunk, genitals, and upper legs. Lacerations were significantly more common (P < .001) in the emergency room group.
