A transcultural analysis of 54 cases of child abuse that were consecutively referred to the psychiatric clinic of the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital is presented. Among the data studied were the legal status of the abused child, the nature of the injuries received and the characteristics of the abusers. It is stressed that this was a pilot investigation, and that there is a need for better reporting and further research.
