Child Abuse Expert Witness

Child abuse cases are very sensitive and require the utmost care and attention. These kinds of cases need expert witnesses who can explain the physical and psychological effects of child maltreatment based on scientific research and evidence.

There have been cases of expert witnesses claiming that children do not often falsify allegations of abuse, especially sexual abuse, which bolsters the strength of a child’s testimony. However, this is not supported by sufficient evidence.

At Reliable Clinical Experts in New York City, expert witnesses are professionals who stay on top of the latest research findings in order to maintain credibility. They can be the medical expert that your case needs in order to help your client receive the fair compensation they deserve.

Expert Witnesses for Child Abuse Cases

There are four main types of child abuse: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. Children are most often abused by a parent, caregiver, or other trusted adult.

Child abuse can be difficult to identify. Physical injuries can be considered accidental, and emotional abuse can be passed off as discipline. In unclear situations, a medical expert witness can use their forensic knowledge to analyze evidence of injury and determine if it was accidental trauma or deliberate injury.

Types of Child Abuse Cases

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse is intentional physical harm to a child. It can include a variety of behaviors, such as:

  • Deliberate injury
  • Fictitious illness (Munchausen’s by proxy)
  • Abusive head trauma (AHT)
  • Shaken baby syndrome
  • Suspected non-accidental trauma (SNAT)

Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is forced exposure to or participation in seual activities, including:

  • Rape
  • Child pornography
  • Molestation
  • Forced viewing of sexual acts

Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse leaves no physical evidence, which makes it difficult to identify. However, the psychological effects are incredibly damaging. Some examples of emotional abusing behaviors toward children include:

  • Threatening
  • Bullying
  • Emotional distancing
  • Insulting or mocking

Neglect

Neglect differs from the other forms of abuse in that it is an act of omission, not commission. It involves not fulfilling a child’s physical and emotional needs. Some examples of these needs include:

  • Housing
  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Medical care
