Shaken Baby Syndrome
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is one of the most common causes of death by physical abuse to children in Florida. SBS occurs when a frustrated caregiver loses control and shakes a young child, causing permanent brain damage or death. The outcomes for survivors typically include cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, seizures, and learning/behavioral difficulties.
