| - | Historically, children had few protections from violence by their parents, and in many parts of the world, this is still the case. For example, [[in Ancient Rome, a father could legally kill his children]]. Many cultures have allowed fathers to sell their children into [[slavery]]. [[Child sacrifice]] was also a common practice. Child maltreatment began to garner mainstream attention with the publication of "[[The Battered Child Syndrome]]" by pediatric psychiatrist [[C. Henry Kempe]] in 1962. Prior to this, injuries to children – even repeated bone fractures – were not commonly recognized as the results of intentional trauma. Instead, physicians often looked for undiagnosed [[bone disease]]s or accepted parents' accounts of accidental mishaps, such as falls or assaults by neighborhood bullies. | + | "[[The Battered Child Syndrome]]" (1962) is a text by pediatric psychiatrist [[C.
