When a baby is shaken, the shaking can cause brain damage, life-changing disabilities, and even death. This is one childhood injury that is preventable. Child abuse and neglect unfortunately
happens in Nebraska. Child care providers need to know about child abuse and neglect, how to make a report, ways to strengthen families, and how to prevent child abuse in their own childcare programs.
