  Abstract
In a child abuse case, it is important to determine who abused the child to assure the child’s safety. When a child has had more than one caretaker before bruises or injuries are noted, it can be difficult to determine who was responsible. This case report illustrates the successful use of digital photography to help identify the perpetrator of an inflicted slap mark.
