New guidelines help physicians recognize sexual abuse The Ontario Medical Association has published a series of guidelines aimed at supporting physicians in recognizing and assessing the sex ually-abused child. The guidelines are contained in a booklet entitled “Recognition and Assessment of the Sexually-Abus ed Child,’’ which provides back ground on child abuse, details on the physical exam, documentation procedures, approaches to therapy. HuUett Happenings Editors: Andrea Postman and Karla Stacey GR. 7/8 BUSH TRIP by EUy WUts We left the school around 9:15. It took us about one hour to get there. We got there and unpacked our load. We went into the bush and did a tree study on five trees. We went back and tried to get our fires going. Then we ate our lunch. After lunch we had free time. Then we went down to the river to see what we could find. We went back and had about 15 minutes of free time. Then we headed back to the school. GRADES 2/3 by Karla Stacey Mrs. Bosman’s grade 2/3 and Mrs. Radford’s grade three classes attended a session on Tender Twigs at the Wawanosh Learning Centre. The students learned to identify six trees using bark and leaf rubbings. The program concluded with a blindfold activity. Everyone enjoyed the hands on experience. Escaping custody and a description of the physician’s role as it relates to other health care disciplines. “The booklet is designed to enhance physicians’ understanding of the nature of childhood sexual abuse,’’ said author Dr. Ken Finkel, who is a member of the OMA’s Committee on Child Wel fare, professor emeritus in the department of pediatrics at Hamilton’s McMaster University Faculty of Health Sciences, and director of the Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect (SCAN) Pro gram at Chedoke-McMaster Hospi tals in Hamilton. “Unfortunately, child abuse is far from a rare event, and chances are likely that a practicing physi cian will at some time be asked to assess a child who may be a sexual-abuse victim,’’ explained Dr. Finkel. Since the first printing of the OMA booklet in 1983, a great deal of progress has been made in developing clinical, sociological, and judicial approaches to the sexual abuse of children. “Revi sions of these guidelines reflect an expanded understanding of the long-term consequences of being an abuse victim, the nature of children’s accounts of their victimi zation, and of the subtle physical signs of abuse,” said Dr. Finkel. The updated guidelines, which are being distributed to general practitioners, pediatricians, hospi tal-based child-abuse teams, child ren’s aid societies and faculties of medicine, help support the Child Welfare Committee’s continuing program to promote the health and v ell-being of infants and children. brings 30 day sentence A St. Thomas man who escaped from police during a court hearing in Wingham July 25 received a 30 day sentence when he appeared in Wingham Provincial Court Wed nesday. Not that it will likely make much difference to Barry Alexander Dick son who remains in custody anyway facing charges of breaking and entering. He’ll face charges on Oct. 24 for breaking and entering at a Wingham gas bar. He had been arrested on that charge in St. Thomas on July 24 on a warrant from Wingham police and was returned to Wingham for court on July 25. After appearing in court and being remanded, he escaped the custody of Wineham Police Sgt. Doug Crossman be tween the back door of the court house and the cells of the Wingham police station next door. Police later arrested him hitch hiking near Belgrave.
