You Can Help a Child Who is a Victim of Wrongdoing by Seeking Justice to Ensure That Their Long-term Medical and Psychological Needs are Met.

Childhood is about innocence, friends, games, bicycles, swimming, and fun with grandma and grandpa and Mom and Dad.

Kansas City MO Child Injury LawyerKansas City MO Child Injury LawyerChildhood memories are filled with fondness and nostalgia. Unfortunately, memories of childhood for an ever increasing number of children are instead filled with physical and emotional pain and suffering. Dangers of all of kinds present an almost unimaginable level of threats to the safe and sound childhood. Among these are motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian and bike accidents due to drivers oblivious to the safety of children, shaken baby syndrome, burns due to unsafe products, inattentive or abusive adults and caretakers, animal and dog bites and attacks, fires in the home, scaldings due to unsafe hot water heaters, pools not properly maintained, unsafe windows, dangerous toys, faulty child products, defective or failing car seat, and guns and household chemicals not locked up as well as many others. Children are vulnerable and highly reliant upon parents and caretakers, but sadly end up victims of stressed, intolerant, and reckless adults. Tragically, infants and toddlers suffer multiple forms of neglect, trauma, and abuse, physical, emotional, and sexual, resulting in shaken baby syndrome, cerebral palsy, burns, brain injury, and much more.

Three million child abuse and neglect cases are reported every year, causing 2,000 deaths. In 2008, the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline in Missouri received more than 50,000 reports of child abuse and neglect involving more than 75,000. Kansas child abuse and neglect figures are equally tragic, with tens of thousands of cases reported each year as well.

Child neglect and abuse victims often suffer physical, emotional, and psychological injuries that can take many years to recover from and are sometimes permanent. Abuse can lead to abuse as well, with some of these children growing up and continuing the cycle of violence. Neglect or abuse cases resulting in infant or child fatality are unfathomably catastrophic.
