It's the first time I've heard of it. I never encountered the Battered Child Syndrome even during my law school years. Maybe this is something that should be taken accounted for in the Philippines someday.
Battered Child Syndrome is being referred to a collection of repeated injuries sustained by a child from the mistreatment or beatings given by the child's parents, guardian or foster parents.
A child suffering from that syndrome can potentially change a child's behavior for the worst. It can be increase in aggression, anger, hostility, hyperactivity, or changes in social relations or school performance.
I'm not certainly sure but I feel like our country needs to study this.

It's also not okay here, but there are disciplinary actions imposed such as facing the wall, cleaning, community service, slight pinch on the ear, slight shaving mark for improper hair trim (done to boys only) and alike have been justified in order for some lessons to be instilled onto them.

It's interesting how we can still come across new things, even after all these years, right? Battered Child Syndrome does sound like something that warrants attention and study, especially in our country.

Very interesting, indeed. However, these new things that we learn and discover just shows how much our country needs to catch up in order for our country to be able to enforce things like them.
