An Internet Resource for Forensic Investigation
of Child Sexual Abuse Cases


Medical Evaluations of Suspected Child Victims

Randell Alexander, Ph.D., M.D.


The most thorough model of health service delivery to an allegedly abused child is a comprehensive examination by a physician with specialized training in diagnosing and treating medical child abuse issues. Such specialized physicians, unfortunately, do not exist in large numbers in every community, and are not equally distributed geographically throughout the state.

Physicians who may serve in the role of Expert Witness regarding the medical examination of a child for whom physical or sexual abuse has been alleged must have additional specialized training for that purpose. A few physicians in Georgia have such specialized training and are functioning independently in clinics, hospitals, and practices scattered throughout the state. One possible approach to addressing the systemic shortage of appropriate service delivery to abused children is to develop a network of expert physician specialists throughout the state.

Such is the purpose of a newly developing project entitled Georgia Child Abuse Resource and Evaluation System (GA CARES). These experts will have ready access to each other's expertise, and each can continually refine an approach to the medical examination of suspected victims that can become increasingly standardized and effective. Such goals are the intention of GA CARES, which will eventually link centers of medical expertise throughout the state through the use of telemedicine.

Health service providers throughout the state will become more and more familiar with this linked medical service delivery model, and a center will eventually be within about an hour's drive from anywhere in the state. When a health service provider receives a referral of a suspected child abuse victim, he or she can make use of this referral system and directly encourage the use of the service. The nearest center can then be contacted and they can recommend how soon the examination should take place. Please be aware that for acute medical conditions, ideal timing requires an examination within 24 hours of an alleged child abuse incident. The healing process of genital tissue in children can be very rapid; waiting several days for an examination may result in a loss of findings.

However, many abuse allegations are about incidents that happened weeks or even months beforehand. In these cases, speed of examination is not such an issue since acute findings will have already changed or disappeared. Calling the nearest GA CARES center will be the best way to get advice on what needs to be done in terms of the timing of the exam.

Frequently, family members will bring the child to a primary care physician without calling ahead to indicate the suspected issue. In these cases, doctors often find themselves in the process of gathering information with the child in the office before realizing that it is a suspected abuse case. In other cases, the family may bring the child in and represent the issue as an "injury" or "accident" which the doctor questions based on exam or lab results. In these cases, the physician needs to ask the child why he or she is there, being sure to record the exact words the child discloses when abuse is either alleged or suspected. Doctors without specialized training should not attempt to complete a thorough forensic interview, however, and need to leave this to the proper professionals who have this training and role. However, if the child discloses abuse spontaneously to any physician, that allows for the physician to testify to the hearsay comments of the child in court. Thus, the exact wording of the child's statements is very important, and may also represent an "initial outcry" which has even greater forensic significance.

An additional advantage to an examination by a specialist physician also relates to that professional's training as a physician. The primary purpose of intervention by any physician should always be the well being of the patient. Evidence collection in potential child abuse situations actually represents a secondary purpose. Therefore, if a child has other medical problems that are NOT the result of child abuse, the physician will also be involved in the pursuit of a treatment plan to address those other medical needs.

The exact steps taken in the medical examination of a suspected abuse victim in a GA CARES center will probably continue to evolve through the shared experiences of experts and their suggested refinements. However, the initial areas to review are outlined in this standardized approach documentation:
