Shaken Baby Syndrome a Cause for Concern

Firm Partner Thomas Henson remains concerned about frequent brain injuries that result from Shaken Baby Syndrome . “The primary cause of Shaken Baby Syndrome is prolonged crying by the child,” said Henson. “I support all efforts we can make to educate parents about how to properly deal with an infant that won’t stop crying. New parents often feel powerless and frustrated in these situations, and simply need help. My goal is to eliminate these tragic brain injuries, so if any parent is interested in learning more about how to properly deal with a child that, because of colic of other causes, is inconsolable, please consult with a pediatrician or other health care worker to learn more about these issues.”
