The battered-child syndrome.

J.A.M.A., 181, 17-24, 1962.

"In 1962, Dr. C. Henry Kempe and his colleagues led the identification and recognition of child abuse with the defining paper, The Battered Child Syndrome. This paper was regarded as the single most significant event in creating awareness and exposing the reality of child abuse. It gave doctors a way to understand and identify child abuse and neglect, along with information about how to report suspected abuse" (http://www.kempe.org/about/history/, accessed 02-2017).
