In cases of child abuse, usually, the parents are initial suspects. A common explanation of the parents is that the injuries were caused by a sibling. Child-on-child violence is reported to be very rare in children less than 5 years of age, and thorough investigation by the police, child protective services, and medicolegal examinations are needed to proof or disproof the parents' statement. We report two cases of physical abuse of infants by small children.
在儿童虐待案件中，父母通常是最初的嫌疑人。父母常见的解释是伤害是由兄弟姐妹造成的。据报道，5 岁以下儿童之间的暴力行为非常罕见，需要警方、儿童保护服务机构和法医检查进行彻底调查，以证明或反驳父母的说法。我们报告了两例由幼儿对婴儿造成的身体虐待案件。
