A growing child attains psychological maturity and social skills while interacting with society. A supportive family and social environment will positively influence the child's development. Instead, children are experiencing various forms of abuse, violence, and cruelty. The authors report two such cases of children who were physically assaulted by their biological father and stepfather for disobedience, resulting in death. The autopsy surgeon should focus not only on the obvious external physical signs of violence but also on subtle or concealed signs in suspicious circumstances or incomplete and unreliable history provided by the parents. The article highlights the prevention of violence against children and the role of the autopsy Surgeon in detecting child abuse.
