ABSTRACT

Introducción. El ritual satánico (RS) en niños es entendido como una forma clara pero poco conocida de castigo sexual, físico y emocional.Caso clínico. Masculino de 6 años de edad, residente de Reyes Mantecón Zimatlán, Oaxaca quien fue torturado en un RS efectuado con el objetivo de purificarlo de los malos espíritus y obligado a tomar substancias que lo hicieron comportarse de una manera extraña. Despojado de sus ropas fue pisoteado y lesionado en tórax con estacas de carrizo y en las mejillas quemado con el comal. Lo tuvieron en ayuno por un período de 2 días. Además de los datos de maltrato físico se documentó hematuria microscópica. Las pruebas psicológicas realizadas permitieron establecer las siguientes conclusiones: alteración del pensamiento y riesgo de brote psicótico, conflicto con la familia al no existir una figura de identificación paterna con alto riesgo en su desarrollo psicoafectivo, así como aversión sexual por probables vivencias no identificadas. Por lo anterior, se estableció el diagnóstico de síndrome del niño maltratado (SNM) variedad RS. Evolución: recibió tratamiento médico y psicológico y permaneció bajo custodia en el Hospital Civil de Oaxaca; 12 días después, una vez que sus lesiones físicas curaron, fue referido a un Centro de Desarrollo Infantil (CENDI). Conclusiones. Debido a la escasa información existente en nuestro medio, se hace indispensable este tipo de informes médicos. Su conocimiento permite a la comunidad pediátrica estar alerta sobre esta patología y lo más importante, le permite conocer cómo proteger al menor a mediano y largo plazo, situación que en este caso no se pudo llevar a cabo.

ABSTRACT

In a study of 436 homeless and poor housed mothers, nearly two-thirds reported severe physical violence by a childhood caretaker, 42% reported childhood sexual molestation, and 61% reported severe violence by a male partner. Comparisons of homeless and housed women are presented, and implications for prevention and intervention are discussed in light of recent welfare reform legislation.

ABSTRACT

This paper gives a detailed account of 30 cases of childhood deaths caused by physical abuse, detected by the Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (SCAN) team, General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur. They consisted of 12 Malays, 6 Chinese, 9 Indian, and 1 Indonesian child. Three cases could not be ascertained as to their ethnic origin. There were 13 male and 17 female children. The average age of the abused children was 2 years 5 months. The most frequent causes of death were intracranial hemorrhage and intraabdominal trauma. Of the 17 cases of intracranial hemorrhage, only four had X-ray evidence of skull fracture. This suggests the possibility of whiplash injuries with/without the abuser suspecting that he/she had injured the child. Of the 22 abusers who could be identified, there was no sex differentiation. Fathers formed the largest group of perpetrators, followed by mothers and childminders. Fifteen of the natural parents of the abused children were married, four were divorced and four were never married. Five of the abusers had aggressive personalities and three were drug addicts. Only one abuser was found to be an alcoholic even though a few were also under suspicion. For most cases, trigger factors could not be identified.
