"Shaken Baby Syndrome" is the result of when a young child’s head is whiplashed back and forth while being shaken. If a baby is shaken, they can be injured very easily. Their neck muscles are not strong enough to control head movements. Rapid head movement can cause the brain to be bruised from being banged against the skull wall. Bleeding behind the eyes and in and around the brain can also cause serious injury. Approximately 20% of cases are fatal. Signs and symptoms range on a spectrum of neurological alterations from minor (irritability, lethargy, tremors, vomiting) to major (seizures, partial or total blindness, paralysis, mental retardation, coma, stupor, death.) In constant and less violent shaking, a young child can have lifelong effects such as learning disorders, behavioral changes, and attention deficits.People usually shake children because they are constantly crying or they may have colic. Parents and childcare givers often get frustrated and angry and before you know it, they lose control. Other reasons why people shake babies are over: eating problems, toilet training, the child making noise, or their interruption of watching TV. Not knowing that baby shaking is harmful and dangerous is another factor.
