The Child Abuse SIG was held on Sunday, May 4,2008 from 8-11 AM. The agenda for the SIG was as follows:
8:00-8:50 Radiologic dating of intracranial hemorrhage Katie Deye, M.D.
8:50-9:30 Cutaneous mimickers of child abuse Dena Nazer, M.D.
9:45-11:00 Human trafficking of minors William Shipley, Esq. (US attorney)
Clare Connors, Esq. (US attorney)
Nicole Littenberg, M.D., MPH

The talks given were excellent, and generated lively discussion. The session on human trafficking of minors raised our awareness significantly, as this is an area that few of us have much experience with. The session was well attended, and met our goals for education.

The child abuse SIG was successful this past year in asking for, and receiving, a platform session in child abuse. This session, held May 3, 2008, from 7-9 AM, was extremely successful and well attended. We had active discussions after each presentation, and the support from the PAS community was great.
