Results: Of the 73 PMSS, 33 (45.2%) demonstrated fractures. No statistical significance in sex was found: 38 (52.1%) were male and 35 (47.9%) were female (p > 0.05). The mean age of those who sustained fractures was 28 months (standard deviation [s.d.]: 21 months). A total of 115 fractures were sustained, of that the top five bones fractured were the ribs 37 (32.2%), parietal bone 13 (11.3%), ulna 13 (11.3%), femur 13 (11.3%), and radius 11 (9.6%). High-specificity fracture locations accounted for 40/133 (30.1%). Conclusion:The fracture types in PMSS were similar to those in live skeletal surveys. Our study's fracture rate was higher in comparison to international studies. The PMSS is a valuable adjunct to autopsy in detecting occult fractures of the limbs. We recommend that PMSS be performed in suspected fatal NAI cases at least in children up to 24 months of age.

“…The spread of violence from the family to society and vice versa is possible. These experiences are rich and linked for children (Mathews & Benvenuti, 2014). Violence against children is not a singular act with a single cause, but rather a multidimensional action involving several aberrations in the biological, psychological, and social functioning of all family members (Gil, 1971).…”

This study aims to find a method of Islamic parenting styles, as an effort to prevent violence against children in schools. With the literature study method, verses from the Quran and Hadith are studied to obtain a formulation of Islamic parenting in Islamic families. The formulation is then applied as an effort to protect children in the school environment. The research found that parenting in Islamic families is carried out as early as possible before a child is born. The parenting style not only includes physical and intellectual aspects, but also includes emotional and spiritual aspects. The verses of the Quran and Hadith hint at the values of education in the Islamic family which include aspects of “aqidah”, worship, and morals. The Quran also mentions that parenting should be done by giving role model and teaching wisdom to children. These educational values can shape children into a piety person, has the nature of “ihsan” and “istiqomah” and far from any violence attitudes. Children are also educated to not only be individual children, but also to have concern for others. With comprehensive aspects of education through Islamic parenting in Islamic families, children are educated to become individuals of character and noble character. Thus, acts of violence against children in schools can be prevented.

“…Because of these limitations, there is a major emphasis on statutory services and crisis management (Strydom, Schiller & Orme, 2020). This results in critical case care which turn into a bureaucratic approach that lacks an empathetic response and leaves services fragmented Agere, Tanga & Kang'ethe, 2017;Hope & van Wyk, 2018;Lizano & Barak 2015;Lombard, 2008;Mathews, & Martin, 2016;Matthias, 2015;Ndonga, 2014;Patel & Hochfeld, 2011;Schmid, 2012;Schmid, 2014;Strydom, 2010;van Huyssteen & Strydom, 2016;Vetfuti, Goliath & Perumal, 2019).…”

Decades of research have highlighted the challenges facing child protection services in a developmental approach. The aim of the article is to explore whether the developmental social welfare approach contributes to an improvement of child protection services. A descriptive case study design was applied in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa. The findings revealed limited knowledge among social work practitioners about the implementation of the developmental social welfare approach. The findings also revealed an overwhelmed child protection system that lacks coordinated and integrated services. It is recommended that child protection services be divided into prevention, early intervention and statutory services.
