Question #a0ed5

Answer 1

See the explanation.

Explanation:

Shaken baby syndrome occurs when someone violently shakes or throws a baby (or a very small child) against an object, usually out of frustration or anger. It is also a form of child abuse.

When a person shakes a baby, the brain rotates within the baby's skull, and the brain tissue is injured, or destroyed. Blood vessels to the brain can be torn, and this results in bleeding around the brain. Blood pools within the skull can make extra pressure and can cause more brain damage.

One in every four shaken babies end up dying. Of those who survive, they have severe injuries, such as:

• blindness
• hearing loss
• cerebral palsy
• speech/learning difficulties
• other disorders
