Any suggestions - infantile fractures??

[Kimberlee_20]

As most of you know, Dameon has 8 broken bones, unexplained, and as of right now it's being called child abuse. Two doctors believe it's absolutely child abuse, two other doctors believe it could be OI, but also think he's not a classic case, well, DH, my mother and I know it's absolutely not child abuse, so it's up to me to find out what's wrong with my son, since none of the doctors will, as they just ASSUME it's child abuse. I need to know absolutely ANY bone disease in infants that could cause multiple fractures, or for bones to easily break. Right now Dameon is being tested for hypophosphatasia, leukemia, and osteogenesis imperfecta, any other suggestions, so I can do more research, and have Dameon tested for absolutely every possibility. Thanks in advance!

Wow...thats all I can say. I have nothing to say except...No one knows the story and I think that its best not to place blame.

I agree with CYW to a point. You should keep you mind open. A lot of people never suspected someone they loved was abusing their child and it turns out they were. You may think that these people would NEVER hurt your son but if they have been alone with him there is always a possibility.

well first things first, it is understandable as to WHY the doctorS, not just 1 or 2 but many AS well as a judge would suspect child abuse because remember when you first posted, I pointed out the same exact thing. Now you may think what you want to think and you might bite my head off for it BUT look at the facts...Your DS has been staying with your sister or your aunt(i cannot remember) has he not gotten any new fractures or bruises since not being ALONE with any of you, your hubby or your mother says something...at least to me...YOU yourself may not be hurting this child, maybe you are. Your mother may be the one hurting him, i would HATE for this to be true because she is your mother and wow if my mom hurt my baby i would be livid...and then there's your hubby...See you may not want to believe it and maybe your son has a disorder, but in all reality IF all these tests are coming back negative then to me it would be abuse. Please do not be blind at this, this is your child's safety. And in all honesty, we are all on the internet and it's easy, very easy for someone to lie or say something when it isn't true. And on top of all of this you say your son had no outside trauma like bruises to suspect abuse...Even before all these broken bones when you came on here saying he had a large bruised lump on his head...TO ME that says someone shook him or bangged him on something.. you even had said he had rolled off the couch when with dh a few weeks prior, the bruise wouldnt have been of that. I really hope you get an answer but please please please do not go in this defending everyone else.. you defend yourself and yourself only for that child....because in all honesty.. you don't know whether your mother or dh was hurting him.. you were not there.. and i bet you anything whether you will admit it or not..someone was hurting this innocent little baby...I've mentioned it from the start but please for the safety of your child if you havent hurt him and you are sure of that, do not and i repeat do NOT defend anyone else because you simply do NOT KNOW!!! Good luck girl...

OMG this is ridiculous, how can they do this to you and get away with it. I am 100% in agreement with losingmymindinga. I'm so sorry Hun you are in my prayers as well is Dameon and your family.

Ya know it just really P-I-S-S-E-S me off that the people who actually DO care about their kids are put through hell...have their reputations drug through the mud.  Yet those who treat their kids like sh*t get away with it.

Example...I was at the peds office a few weeks ago...this woman was screaming at her son (who was obviously sick) telling him to SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP...she kept smacking him, then she takes him in the bathroom and you can HEAR the slaps/smacks in the waiting room....do you think anyone at that peds office called the police?  Of course not.  Now *I* feel like completely **** for not doing it myself but I was dealing with my own sick kids and I guess I figured...hey this is a doctors office, they are required by law to report child abuse...yeah RIGHT.  

People like her get away with beating the hell outta their kids who in turn become thugs, murderers, rapists etc becuase they have so much pent up anger...

Then there are people like that couple who took completely innocent pictures of their young girls taking baths and wrapped in towels....like practically every parent in the world does.  Well some dumb twit at the walmart photo center thought they resembled child porn and reported them.  The woman was suspended from her teaching job for a year, they had to register as sex offenders and their kids were taken for a month.  

The human race is really going to h-e-l-l in a handbasket...no wait...we lost the handbasket long ago..it was slowing us down.  


Sorry...just a vent...it just really angers me to see people who LOVE Their children be unjustly accused of things while those who OBVIOUSLY commit these offenses can blatantly do it in public and no one says a word.
