KembaraXtra-Psychology – Battered Baby Syndrome
Battered baby syndrome describes a pattern of physical and psychological injuries inflicted intentionally on infants by caregivers, often involving repeated abuse or severe neglect. First formally identified in medical literature in the 1960s, the syndrome includes symptoms such as unexplained fractures, bruises, internal injuries, and developmental disturbances. Recognition of this condition significantly advanced awareness of child abuse and led to improved protective and reporting measures.
