\"luton-crown-court\"A mother from Luton may have killed her 13-week-old son as a result of shaking<\/strong> him violently.<\/p>\n

According to the BBC, the jury at Luton Crown Court heard that young Mohammed Zaid, who died in hospital on 1st<\/sup> November 2007, was found following a post mortem to have suffered bleeding in his brain, spinal cord and both eyes. \u00a0The Prosecutor told the court that such evidence suggested a \u2018violent death\u2019 rather than illness.
\n<\/p>\n

The baby was initially believed to have died as a result of a heart failure brought on by breathing difficulties, but the conclusions of a pathologist intimated that the baby had suffered a head injury<\/a> as a result of shaking or shaking combined with an impact.<\/p>\n

His mother, Mrs Mosheen Arshad, denies murder.<\/p>\n

Shaken baby syndrome (or SBS) is a potentially lethal form of child abuse. The damage caused by forcefully shaking can lead to damage within a child\u2019s skull.<\/p>\n

When children are infants their head makes up 25% of their body weight and the rest of their body and muscles will not have developed to a level whereby they can support the weight of the baby\u2019s head. The force of shaking a baby can therefore cause the baby\u2019s head to snap backwards and forwards, tearing, the still developing blood vessels and causing pressure to build inside the brain.<\/p>\n

Consequences which may occur as a result of the action include seizures, physical and learning disabilities and death.<\/p>\n

It is usually the result of a parent trying to hush a baby after becoming frustrated with their constant crying. Therefore it is important to try and manage stress and frustration to avoid causing injury<\/a> to a child. Try and share the responsibility of looking after the child, asking a friend or relative to help from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
