Child Abuse: A Comparative Study of Eight Cases From the Luzerne County Child Welfare Association, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

Carl Dominic Gaudiano, Fordham University

Abstract

Writers on social phenomenon, lawyers, social scientists, and other interested in social problems, have long recognized that the phenomenon of parents physically abusing their children has been with us since the beginning of mankind. Only since World War II, has much been written on the subject of unexplained, shocking, and traumatic injuries to children. Since then, too much has been said and written about the legal confusion surrounding the use of authority and sanctions in instances of apparent abuse to children by their parents.
