今日單字: Infant [n.] = 嬰兒、幼兒

很多時候，小編挑的新聞都是自己閱讀後感到震撼的消息。

選這樣的新聞就是希望能有更多人注意到這些事情、更多人去在乎。

家中能有個可愛的孩子是多可貴的事，應好好珍惜。

虐待兒童真的萬萬不行 !!!

去年被家扶基金會稱為 「受虐兒童最黑暗的一年」，代表我們身邊或許也有在暗自哭泣的孩子。

請多多關心身邊的人吧~~

(一) 今日新聞導讀

1. Symptoms that counted as abuse included shaken infant syndrome, fractures, traumatic brain injuries, abdominal injuries, burns, and open wounds..

被認定為虐待的症狀為嬰兒搖晃症候群、骨折、創傷性腦損傷、腹部的傷害、燙傷、開放性傷口。

2. The study found that for every 100,000 children, 6 were seriously abused. For children under one, the likelihood increased by more than 8 times.

研究顯示，每十萬名孩童中，有六個被嚴重虐待。未滿周歲的孩子受虐的可能性增加八倍。

3. This is higher than the rate of infants impacted by Sudden Infant Death syndrome - 50 infant deaths for every 100,000.

這比嬰兒猝死症的比例還要高，每十萬名嬰兒當中就有五十人因受虐而死。

4. The study did not account for children who were never hospitalized or died before getting treatment.

研究並未列入不曾入院治療或得到治療前就過世的孩童。

5. The study estimated that only 1.5% of all abused children actually go to the hospital for treatment.

研究估計，只有1.5%的受虐兒童會到醫院接受治療。

(二) 延伸討論

Should abusive parents be given a second chance ?

It's a real dilemma.If the parents are sent to jail, where should the child go ?Other relatives may not be willing to take in the child.

Foster care is not a sure bet either.

But, if the child stays with the parents....well, who knows when it will happen again.

What do you think ??
