During this session, we will talk about the topic most of us do not want to even think about. Unfortunately, child abuse is around us constantly and we as prehospital providers have the opportunity to recognize and report this unthinkable action. Even if we are unsure, if we think there is abuse present, report it! We will review case studies and discuss different signs to look for so that we may advocate for our most vulnerable age group.
