State and federal estimates of child maltreatment show that between 700 000 and 1.25 million children in the US are affected annually. Of these children, approximately 18% are victims of physical abuse. Perhaps even more concerning is that the rates of severe injuries that lead to admission or death have not changed substantially since the 1970s when greater emphasis was placed on the development of specific child abuse recognition and prevention strategies (Lancet 2012;379:358-72) (Pediatrics 2013;131:e1796-802).

It's 10 o'clock. Do you know who is caring for your child?
