Child Violence Crisis in Dominican Republic: Psychiatrist Sounds Alarm

The Dominican Republic is facing a crisis. Three two-year-olds have died in separate violent incidents recently. This prompted a statement from psychiatrist José Miguel Gómez, who expressed alarm at the rising violence against children. "The normalization of violence in homes is terrifying," Dr. Gómez stated. He described instances of children suffering fractures, burns, and lacerations. He emphasized the need for society to report any suspected child abuse. The government needs to address this urgent issue to protect vulnerable children. The rising number of cases calls for immediate action and increased societal awareness.
