CASE STUDY 1
In approaching this case, the primary concern is the immediate safety and well-being of the infant
and the other children in the household. The internal burn injuries sustained by the six-week-old
infant indicate severe abuse, which requires urgent intervention. The 16-year-old mother, who
poisoned her child, may be struggling with mental health issues, substance abuse, or overwhelming
stress, given her young age and circumstances.
Risks:
1. Immediate risk to the infant's life: Due to the severity of the injuries, the infant requires
ongoing medical attention and specialized care.
2. Safety of the other children: The 7- and 9-year-old siblings may also be at risk, given the
dangerous household environment.
