A riveting exposé of child abuse in America and how the newest breed of pediatricians determines what happened, why, and at whose hands.

• Includes interviews and insights from more than two dozen child abuse pediatricians

• Addresses physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, including abuse by neglect and abuse due to Munchausen syndrome by proxy
