In a recent article in this journal our unit was accused of a number of errors of judgment in applying covert video surveillance (CVS) to infants and children suspected of life-threatening abuse. The article implied, that on moving from the Royal Brompton Hospital in London to North Staffordshire Hospital, we failed to present our work to the Research Ethics Committee (REC). We did send our protocol to the REC though we did not consider that, after a total of 16 patients had been documented as being the subject of life-threatening abuse, this was research. The REC in Staffordshire agreed with us. We were also accused of undertaking work that should be pursued by the Police. We agree with this. However, unlike the Metropolitan Police the Staffordshire Police would not undertake CVS. We fail to agree that 'working together' with parents is necessarily practical or safe when trying to protect children from life-threatening abuse of this kind.
在本期刊最近的一篇文章中，我们单位被指责在对疑似遭受危及生命虐待的婴幼儿应用秘密视频监控（CVS）时存在一些判断失误。文章暗示，从伦敦的皇家布朗普顿医院迁至北斯塔福德郡医院后，我们没有将我们的工作提交给研究伦理委员会（REC）。尽管我们认为在记录了总共16名患者为危及生命虐待的对象后这并非研究，但我们确实将我们的方案发送给了REC。斯塔福德郡的REC同意我们的看法。我们还被指责从事应由警方进行的工作。我们同意这一点。然而，与伦敦警察厅不同，斯塔福德郡警方不会进行CVS。我们不同意在试图保护儿童免受此类危及生命的虐待时，与家长“合作”必然是可行或安全的。
