Some babysitters are really demons.
On May 8, a video of #nanny throwing boy 14 times causing brain damage# caused anger on the Internet.
It happened in Taiwan, an 8-month-old boy was sent to the hospital by a nanny because of quadriplegia and convulsions.
After examination, the baby was found to have bleeding in the brain and retina, and there was permanent brain damage.
Why does such a young baby hurt so badly?
The truth of the matter was revealed only after the parents called the police, and the police found out from the surveillance that the nanny had abused children.
She picked up the child like a doll 14 times and threw it on the bed and cushions...
(News source: @看看新闻)
It's a full 14 times, how can such a small baby withstand throwing and throwing!
At first, the nanny did not admit to child abuse, and even deleted the surveillance video at home, but the police only discovered the child abuse after the recovery with technology.
According to the parents, the nanny is a certified professional childcare worker who only has 3 days from the time of employment to the accident.
And the reason for treating children this way is simply because of impatience with the child's crying.
Engaged in the nanny industry, it is really hateful to be impatient with the crying of children.
Many netizens were also angry after watching the video, and they said:
"This nanny ruined the child's life, it was so vicious."
"This nanny is simply an attempted murder and must be severely punished."
"How can the baby withstand throwing and throwing, it's too pitiful, this nanny is simply not human."
Yes, throwing such a small baby is no different from killing!

Young babies
Can't withstand any violent throws and shaking
Remember the hot search a while ago #Parenting sister-in-law shakes violently 8-month-old baby called it sleeping#?
After watching the video at that time, the pregnant mother could not calm down for a long time.
Shaking the child so violently, as the baby's mother said: this is not sleeping, this is abuse.
At any time, the little baby cannot withstand the violent throwing and shaking, such an action is tantamount to killing.
There is a 3-month-old baby in Australia, but he lost his life because he was violently shaken by his father.
The cause was shake syndrome, and the father was later arrested on charges of killing his daughter, who was only three months old.
But all parents with a little common sense know: the baby's brain is like jelly, it cannot be shaken, and long-term shaking is extremely harmful to the baby's health.
Remind all parents and caregivers: no matter how broken or angry the child is, do not take the child angry, do not throw the child, do not shake the child.

Throwing and shaking the child violently
The damage inflicted on children is fatal!
There is no alarmism at all.
Because for babies under 1 year old, the brain is as fragile as tofu blocks, at this time, the brain, the skull has not yet grown completely, the base and inner surface of the skull are still very smooth, the connecting tissue has not grown well, and the skull is not good enough to "clamp" the brain.
The brain at this time is large and heavy, accounting for a quarter of the body, and once shaken, the most affected is the brain.
Before the baby is 5 years old, the muscles in the neck are weak, the ligament elasticity is poor, and the cervical spine is not completely ossified, which is difficult to withstand the shock of large shaking and high throwing.
When the child is shaken by external forces, the brain shakes greatly between the skulls and hits the hard skull, which is easy to cause rupture of small blood vessels in the brain, coagulation of large blood clots, retinal hemorrhage, etc., collectively known as cerebral hemorrhage.
After cerebral hemorrhage, intracranial pressure will rise rapidly, causing neurological symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, lethargy, convulsions, limb weakness, and coma.
The consequences include: brain damage, blindness, hearing loss, speech and learning disabilities, mental retardation, seizures, neck and spinal cord injuries, and even death, which is dangerous baby shake syndrome.
Infantile shaking syndrome most often occurs in infants under 1 year old, especially babies 2~4 months old.
After age 2, the chance of shaking syndrome decreases, but if the shaking is very violent, children five or younger can also develop brain damage.
③
Whether it is a parent or a confinement sister-in-law
For small babies, the following behaviors are not allowed!
First: Do not shake the baby vigorously. No matter how coaxing the child to collapse and no matter how angry it is, do not take the child angry, do not shake the child, if the shaking is large, it can cause harm to the baby at one time.
Second: don't throw the baby. Do not use the method of throwing the baby to make the baby happy, throw it up and down, such a step will cause the baby's brain to shake violently.
Third: Don't hold your baby by mistake. Without supporting the baby's neck, directly put the baby down and pick it up, the brain shakes badly in this process, which may also lead to baby shaking syndrome.
Fourth: cumulative damage. Injuries from shaken infant syndrome can also accumulate over multiple times. Sometimes, even if the shaking action is not violent, if it is repeated for a long time (such as shaking the cradle with the same frequency for a long time), it is easy for the baby to have symptoms of infant shaking syndrome after accumulating several times.
Any violent shaking is a disservice to the baby!
To prevent this injury, your child's caregiver must know the following:
●Understanding the severity of shaken infant syndrome
Improper shaking and tossing of a child can lead to serious injury, death in severe cases, death in at least a quarter of infants with shaking syndrome, and blindness, cerebral palsy, intellectual/developmental delays, seizures and other conditions in those who survive.
And shaking a baby is similar to shaking water in a half-empty container, even if the shaking is over, the inside is also muddy, and one or two improper shaking can lead to brain damage.
●Let caregivers know the dangers of throwing and shaking
Not only parents caring for the baby need to know the danger, but grandparents, babysitters or other family members also need to know the harm and must properly comfort the baby.
●Respond rationally to your baby's crying
Young babies often cry, do not let yourself fall into anxiety and anger because of crying, learn the skills to comfort the baby in advance, learn some necessary parenting skills, can help rationally deal with the baby's crying.
●Walk away briefly for 5 to 10 minutes when angry and irritable
If the baby is very agitated because of crying, then walk away for 5-10 minutes, put the baby in a safe place, give yourself a short time alone to relax, check the baby every 5-10 minutes, or let the family take care of the baby temporarily.
●Do not shake your baby drastically at any time
Vigorous back and forth, up and down, up and down, large swings of the baby, these are absolutely prohibited.
Remember: any violent throwing and shaking is absolutely prohibited!
Finally, the pregnant mother emphasized: if the father or mother cannot take care of the baby due to special circumstances, you must carefully choose the baby's caregiver, including the nanny and confinement sister-in-law.
Be sure to make a thorough observation during the trial period, find a reliable caregiver for your baby, and pay more attention at all times.
I hope every baby can be treated gently!
