Abstract:
Child abuse is a major and critical public health concern. We aim to present the "Abused Children Intervention Program" of the National Office for Childcare, and to delineate the current situation, using our recent experience at the Saint-Pierre's Teaching Hospital in Brussels. The SOS Children teams focus on children protection while providing support for abusing parents.
