What will be an ideal response?
Henry Kempe was one of the first to recognize the rampant misdiagnosis of child abuse. Recognizing that emergency room physicians were diagnosing children with conditions such as spontaneous subdural hematoma, unexplained bruising disorder, and so on, thereby recognizing the often covered up or obscured problem of child abuse. Kempe organized and collaborated a 3-hr plenary session at the American Academy of Pediatrics, which led to a public recognition of child abuse, and demanded national response. This quickly led to the passage of mandatory reporting legislation. He started the “National Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect” and was responsible for the first multidisciplinary approaches to child abuse.
