abstract="This first prospective study of child abuse among Indian children in the RSA reports 44 cases seen at the R.K. Khan Hospital in Chatsworth, Durban, over a 3 1/2-year period. Over a third of the patients were under 6 years of age. Most of the injuries were minor bruises involving the face, head and lumbar region, while there were 8 cases of sexual abuse. The victim's father was the abuser in 36,3% of cases, followed by the mother in 20,5%. The main environmental risk factors were marital discord, divorce, extramarital affairs, wife-battering, unemployment, receipt of disability or other grants, poor living conditions, and drug and/or alcohol abuse.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
