Today I would like to describe several very interesting overseas projects and developments in the management of maltreated children, in the context of problems we face in this hospital and in this community. I shall refer particularly to what is being done by the Child Protection Team at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver, Colorado, which I visited in 1966 and again last year. This team is headed by Prof. C. Henry Kempe, who coined the phrase ‘Battered Child Syndrome’ in 1962.
