This story is about a child who was born a healthy baby. Her parent entered her into a day care. The day care owner was a trusted friend. But, little did the famiy know the child was being abused by their so called friend during the day at teh day care center. The child became a victim of shaken baby sydrome. This syndrome is when an adult picks up a child and shakes the child violently cuasing the brain to bounce back and forth within the skull. This can cause internal bleeding and swelling of the brain. This sydrome can cause the child to go into a state of coma, it can cause severe head trauma, and it can also cause death. This child came home after day care with bruises on her chest and arms and red swelling on the back of her head. The day care sitter always said that the child fell when trying to walk. The sitter claimed she would trip and fall on top of toys and things. Because the family was such good friends with her they never second guessed her claims. The bruises began to worsen. The family finally took greater steps and took the child to the doctor. she had all th symptoms of shaken baby sydrome. She was lucky and didn't recieve to much head trauma. But theis is a growing problem all over the United states, and babies die every year from this tragic occurance. If you have trouble keeping your temper at bay when dealing with a child, think twice before shaking it, and get therapy.
