What do Child Abuse Pediatricians do?

Child abuse pediatricians diagnose and treat children who are victims of child abuse, neglect, and maltreatment by conducting medical evaluations, coordinating with other professionals, and providing expert testimony.

They examine children, review medical tests, take medical histories, and offer both medical treatment for injuries and support for the child and family.

Additionally, they work in prevention and education, serve as expert witnesses in court, and participate in multidisciplinary teams with agencies like child protective services and law enforcement. 

What they do

Diagnosis: They evaluate, diagnose, and treat suspected and confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect, including physical, sexual, emotional, and medical neglect. 

Medical evaluation: This involves gathering family medical history, interviewing children, performing comprehensive medical examinations, and reviewing diagnostic tests such as X-rays and blood tests. 

Treatment and support: They manage the medical consequences of maltreatment and work with other professionals to provide support and counseling for the child and family. 

Expert testimony: They are often required to provide expert testimony in court to help judges and juries understand the medical aspects of a child’s injuries or lack thereof. 

Multidisciplinary collaboration: They work as part of a team with other professionals, such as social workers, therapists, child protective services, and law enforcement, to ensure the child’s safety and proper case management. 

Education and prevention: They educate other healthcare providers, hospital staff, and the community about child abuse and neglect. They also direct and participate in prevention programs.
