Since being assigned to Child Abuse Investigations in 1980, I have been learning about this difficult field of investigations on a day to day basis.  I have been instructing in this area since that time to all disciplines.  I have collected information and photos from case files which were my responsibility as well as other professionals in the field.

     Attendees to my presentation will learn all related areas of investigating Child Abuse, such as:  Neglect, Physical Abuse, Dynamics of fractures, Drug Endangered Children, Factitious Reporting Disorder (Munchausen by Proxy) Forensic Odontology, Death Investigation, Failure to Thrive and many other types of abuse.  Several variations of this outline are available to interested parties.  The presentation can last from one to eight hours depending on the needs of the learners.  The class can be extended to two days with the second day to include Cognitive Interview and Confrontational Interrogation Techniques as they apply to Child Abuse Investigations.

NOTE: The entire class is taught from an experience base learning technique. The class will participate throughout the session. The class will learn by doing. The class will become teachers allowing the primary instructor to become the facilitator to their learning.
