Kids are kids, and sometimes they play in ways that result in minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises. However, there are other types of bruises that should be a red flag for possible abuse.

TEN-4-FACESp is a useful acronym to help screen children under 4 years of age with bruising to identify when a bruise is more likely to be caused by abuse than accidental injury. The TEN-4-FACESp is not intended to diagnose abuse.

A variety of programs are available at no-cost in Oklahoma to support families and parents and prevent child abuse. Learn more at https://brnw.ch/21wWlt6.
