The hospital saw an average of only 0.67 cases over the same period from 2017 to 2019. FMTNews ChildAbuse London Lockdown
PARIS: A major London children’s hospital registered a 15-fold increase in the number of apparent child abuse cases it dealt with during the Covid-19 lockdown compared to previous years, researchers reported Thursday.
Clinical examinations revealed symptoms including bleeding in the eyes, bruising, and scalp swelling, while X-rays or CAT scans showed brain haemorrhaging, internal bleeding and skull fractures. The real number of cases is likely to be even higher than reported due to public avoidance of hospitals during the pandemic, they added.“Two parents in our cohort cited fears of contracting Covid-19 as a reason for delayed presentation,” they wrote by way of example.
Such episodes are more likely to occur, earlier research has shown, in households with unfavourable socioeconomic circumstances.
