Siblings of SBS victims are left to suffer silently and many go on to have relationship issues with dire consequences as well as stress disorders.
The abusers NEVER pay the cost for hospitalizations, court and lawyer fees,therapy, and continues medical care, special education and living expenses;YOU DO!
Victims' families, tax payers, and insurance companies are responsible for what the Texas Brain injury Association estimate cost that can easily reach $3 Million for a lifetime of care for a single victim,
A baby could fall from a height of 3 stories and not sustain as severe an injury as a shaken baby!
SBS PREVENTION WORKS!
SBS cases were reduced by 47% over 5 years in the Western New York State In- Hospital Program for parents of newborns that received SBS education.
Parents surveyed 3 to 4 months after participating in the Massachusetts program remembered the information learned without prompting and reported using the new information about crying and infant soothing in caring for their babies. Over two-third reported they had shared the information with their child's other caregivers.
