Approximately 12 percent of child abuse-related deaths occur as a result of SBS

Approximately 12 percent of child abuse-related deaths occur as a result of SBS. Roughly 25 percent of SBS victims die, with another 35 percent suffering long-term disabilities; 41 percent are under the age of 1.8 The cost of caring for a surviving SBS child during his or her lifetime is often exorbitant. Initial hospitalization for SBS victims is estimated at $75,000 to $95,000.9 Additional costs are incurred for rehabilitation, or medical expenses and special education needs. Perhaps the most insidious side of SBS is seen in the thousands of children who suffer severe physical and mental disabilities throughout their lifetime.

The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome is the foremost national and international SBS information clearinghouse. It is leading a massive national and international awareness program at hospitals, schools, community centers and emergency rooms. Poster campaigns now depict macho males holding their tiny babies stating, "Tough guys don't shake." Pamphlets appear in hospitals and pediatricians' offices explaining the danger of shaking and tossing babies, and films for parents and childcare professionals exist. The organization has also sponsored numerous large conferences, including one in Australia and most recently in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Raising awareness about the potential injury to a child in a classroom setting has been shown to decrease the incidence of SBS.10 "By explaining the damage caused and how many infants fall victim to [SBS], we can reduce the number of cases. Oftentimes, people don't realize how easy it is to hurt an infant," said John Baldwin, senior instructor at Marana Community Correctional Treatment Facility in Arizona. "With this class, inmates receive graphic and vivid lessons on the impact of shaking an infant and really think twice about how to handle a baby."

The Abandoned Babies Center - Nairobi, Kenya

The Abandoned Babies Center is part of Dacoretti Childrens Home in Nairobi, Kenya. The home takes in abandoned babies throughout the Nairobi area. The goal is to place the children in adoptive families. Those that are not adopted stay in the ABC home until they are ? years old. At that time the children go on to Dacoretti or other children's homes in the area.

The children are raised in cottages where they are broken up by age. Families interested in adopting from ABC can contact them to gain more information on the adoption process.

The Love of Christ Ministries (TLC), was established in 1993, specifically to meet the needs of these, the most innocent victims of violent crime, homelessness, HIV/Aids and general social turmoil in South Africa.

TLC is dedicated to salvaging these fresh, untarnished lives, through adoption into a community of families which is structured to focus on one objective. This is to raise and nurture the poorest of the poor into valuable, educated and skilled members of our nation.

Christian Baby Therapy Centre

The Baby Therapy Centre is an early intervention service, which helps all babies and toddlers with an impairment or development delay to expand their competence. Families of these babies are assisted to cope with the enormous burden they face.

13% of all babies have a mild to severe handicap, arising from injury, disease or genetic disorder. The good news is that early treatment and stimulation increase the chances for normal development in the period of maximum brain growth!

With this earliest treatment, secondary handicaps and fixed abnormalities are prevented in impaired babies who are otherwise deprived of learning experiences.


Mission statement,

The Baby Therapy Centre was established in 1994 as an Early Intervention service:

  • to expand the competence of all impaired babies and toddlers
  • and assist their families to cope

The first few years of life are critical for the building of a stable developmental foundation, upon which all further skills are built. In these years children learn to sit, crawl, walk, communicate, play and feed themselves etc.

If there are any barriers preventing this, the child is not able to reach his/her potential!

13% of all babies have a mild to severe handicap, arising from injury, disease or genetic disorder.

The good news is that early treatment and stimulation increase the chances of for normal development in the period of maximum brain growth! With this earliest treatment at the Baby Therapy Centre, we assist children from birth to 3 years of age to overcome barriers through various techniques, and to prevent secondary handicaps and fixed abnormalities.

Early Intervention services include individual therapy sessions, addressing each childs specific needs, and group therapy sessions, often including participation of parents, thereby optimising learning and interaction skills. Our approach is holistic and the whole team is involved according to the need of each child.

The Baby Therapy Centre is a non-profit organisation, founded and run on Christian principles.

We are situated in Lynnwood, Pretoria, and run various clinics and outstations.
