Définition
- Battered child syndrome (BCS) has been defined as “the collection of injuries sustained by a child as a result of repeated mistreatment or beating.” If the injuries sustained by the child suggest that physical trauma was inflicted intentionally or if the injuries appear on examination to be more severe than one might expect to have reasonably been produced by accident, BCS may be indicated. These injuries typically have been inflicted by an adult caregiver. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Battered Child Syndrome]
