The nurse makes a report to the charge nurse and notifies the local police and social services. When the child is brought back to the emergency department, a nurse is assigned to stay in the room with the child and the parent. The local police and social services worker arrive and ask if there is another parent who can come sit with the child. The child’s mother is located and comes to sit with the child. The father is questioned away from the child in a private office by social services and the local police detective. The father denies ever hurting the child. A child advocate from the local children’s advocacy center, along with the social worker and ED nurse, are present when the police question the mother about the abuse away from the child’s hearing. The mother states that the father has been abusive to her and the child. The child is scheduled for a forensic exam and interview with the local children’s advocacy center. The 3-year-old has delayed verbal and physical skills upon assessment. The mother states the father “forbids” her to take the child to the pediatrician for anything other than severe illness. The child and mother are placed in an emergency shelter while the father is arrested on charges of domestic violence and child abuse. 1.
