Unusual first or given names of children who have beenphysically abused or neglected.
Has anyone ever looked at the link between
children who have strange or unusual first or given
names and the incidence of abuse or neglect.
I have had a preliminary look through our units
registrations and found that 25% - 30% of children
presenting with physical abuse or neglect have
strange or unusual names.
