A previously healthy 4-year-old child was presented because of refusal to eat or drink. No vomiting, fever, or diarrhea was reported by the parents. Examination revealed a normally behaving afebrile child with no signs of dehydration or sepsis. Multiple “impetigenized” lesions were noted on his face (Figure 1). The initial diagnosis of impetigo was cast into doubt after more lesions were revealed on patient's back and limbs. All lesions were regular in size and round, some had vesicular appearance, and others were more erythematous and raised (Figure 2). Child protective services were called.

Multiple facial lesions.


Different types of burns on patient's back.


Burn. The cigarette in the picture was used to compare diameters.

Diagnosis
Child abuse caused by cigarette burns
(Shouldn't that be 'Cigarette burns caused by child abuse'?)
The patient's mother admitted that she had purposely inflicted cigarette burns to here child. Cigarette burns are a major diagnostic problem. Burns located on a child's back or buttocks are unlikely to have been caused nondeliberately and therefore are more suspect than burns about the face and eyes, which can occur accidentally if the child runs into a lighted cigarette held by an adult. Multiple lesions caused by cigarette burns are distinctively suggestive of child abuse, especially if they are of uniform size, circular, and showing groupings on the face, back, or limbs. A typical lesion has a diameter of 0.5 to 0.8 cm and a well-defined smooth edge (Figure 3). Lesions in various stages of healing may be misdiagnosed as staphylococcal bullous impetigo or varicella virus infection. These cases are probably underreported because of low index of suspicion. A missed diagnosis can result in inappropriate medical care, ongoing abuse, and future fatality.

These parents should be burnt alive.

Pictures like these piss me off moreso than others, because I'll probably never be able to have children, I'm being denied the one thing I have ever wanted in my 36 years on this planet, and there are these fucking psychos who aren't fit enough to breathe the same air as the rest of us who are basically brood mares, just kicking them out one right after the other, tiring of the responsibilities of parenting, doing whatever the fuck they think, in their demented minds, is reasonable punishment for probably the smallest infraction (or even for the simple crime of existing in the first place), and yet they keep having more fucking kids. Joke's over, whoever's UP THERE!

What can I say? Humanity is an overflowing, burning cesspool.

I have no use for child or animal abusers. Both are equally evil and should have no place on this earth.

[mintycbo]

I have children whom I love and care for...
In turn.. that is a painful sight.
I hope that child gets a GOOD home and doesn't get shit on by CYS/CPS.

Yeah, I wish there was some sort of test that could be done at birth to tell who would basically be an egg-laying human hen, popping them out but not giving a shit about what happened to them as long as they had enough money to get their nails done and their hurr did, so we could have this tattooed on their heads:

You think maybe cigars would be better? They'd leave bigger marks. Personally, I'd put the fucker on a Judas Cradle, very insane medieval torture device:
