>internal head/brain/eye trauma can have many causes
But almost all have corresponding external trauma.
The cases that don't have matching external trauma narrow it down considerably.
Restrained in a car seat in a rollover wreck? Maybe.
Rolled out of her bed? Not really plausible. But might seem like a good excuse for someone looking to cover up abuse.
Sort of agree with it being scary that a diagnosis implies a crime, but this is a case where the girl died from bad parenting, whether you call it SBS or not.
Hell, even his excuses are giving a 2-year old too many opiates and letting her sleep somewhere she could fall from while sick. Plus lying about the pneumonia, which wasn't present on autopsy.

- Yoric 3y agoWell, I have neither the medical knowledge nor any kind of deep understanding of this case necessary to pursue this conversation, so I'll bow out. Thanks for the details!
