Ha! Our biggest cause if death where I work ( a children’s hospital) is “non-accidental” trauma. AKA abuse. Usually mommy’s boyfriend.
Now, that's something Doctor's should be asking - and warning - about...
Otherwise known as baby sister's dad.
Sadly, so true !
Truth be told I’m convinced - if gang killings are omitted from the mix - firearms are “statistically insignificant” as a cause of child mortality.
Small wonder why the “antis” have to “stretch the statistical base” to include “children” up to age 23 in order to justify their statistics !
OTOH, I’m equally convinced our liberal social workers/prosecutors aren’t doing their job ! Why aren’t they identifying/suspecting child abuse in trauma cases ? Seems to me they’re “passing the buck” to already overworked doctors/nurses in ERs across the nation. >PS
