In 1968, Dr. Krugman witnessed his first case of child abuse when a mother brought a baby into a Denver emergency room claiming the child stopped breathing at some point during a movie. Dr. Krugman and his colleagues discovered that not only was the baby deceased, but he was also severely beaten and injured. Dr. Krugman outlines the interactions the mother and the baby had with hospital, public health, police, and social services professionals in the months before the baby’s death – and how 25 of those professionals failed at providing the mother with support and the baby with protection.
