I did not know this detail, I know the Danish state offered apologies, the charges were dropped and the child was returned to the parents.

Yeah, nobody know the exact parts of the case. As its semi-secret (to protect the child and parents I guess). While the parents were cleared, this case is definitely not appropriate to this discussion as it was definitely not only hemorrhaging that started it. If a hospital gets a toddler with fractures on their skull, society should damn well figure out how it got them and stop it from happening again.

    As a toddler, my daughter fell out of her bed from a height of less than 18 inches and broke her collar-bone. It seems plausible to me that if she had landed on her head rather than her shoulder, she could have fractured her skull. I'm not sure that society needs to be in the business of preventing all falls from such a small height!

    What a leap (the kind the article is calling out by the way). Do you really think all causes for toddler skull fractures are a societal problem?

      I do.

      If a child has a serious injury the circumstances should be examined, as it should be quite rare for children to have serious injuries.

      That's why places have Child Death and Serious Injury Review Committees.
