Scenario
Poppy
It is 8:45am and Hilla, a Trainee, is changing Poppy’s nappy. Poppy (15 months) is quite big for her age but tends to be rather clumsy. She often falls over as she prefers to run rather than walk! Poppy doesn’t like to have her nappy changed and tends to squirm around on the change table making change time a real challenge!
Hilla is concerned when she sees that Poppy has what looks like four finger print bruises on the back of her upper thighs and a single small circular bruise, bluish in colour, on the front of each thigh. The largest bruise is about the size of a 5 cent piece. The other bruises are smaller in size. On closer examination Hilla also finds that Poppy has what looks like similar older finger print bruising on the inside of her upper arms which is yellowish in colour.
Poppy’s mother has not been well for quite some time and the family are struggling financially because Poppy’s father was made redundant and has been unable to find work. There are two older brothers in the family. On reflection Hilla has noticed that both Mum and Dad have been rather tense and quite abrupt with Poppy. Yesterday Poppy was crying when she arrived with Dad. He commented that Poppy was ‘Being a pain’.
Hilla finds it hard to think that the injuries to Poppy were made by her parents. Hilla knows that Mum and Dad adore Poppy. Perhaps Poppy bumped herself? After all, she is rather clumsy.
