JANESVILLE — The cries from the baby doll sound real and inconsolable. The translucent skull on the simulator allows a user to see what kind of brain damage a baby can suffer from just a little shaking. Red lights glow in the back of the brain when a person mildly shakes the baby. The lights indicate the caregiver has just visually impaired or blinded the baby. At the next level of forceful shaking, lights go on in the front of the baby’s brain, which controls memory and emotion. The baby’s loss of those functions can cause learning disabilities and behavioral disorders.

Trends in Childhood Violence and Abuse Exposure

A new national study conducted by CCRC researchers shows that bullying, sexual assault, and other violence against children declined substantially between 2003 and 2008. The percentage of children reporting physical bullying in the past year declined from 22% to 15%, while the percentage reporting a sexual assault went from 3.3% to 2%. The study did not find declines in physical abuse or neglect by caregivers, but did find a decline in psychological abuse. Robbery was one of the few offenses that increased in frequency.
