The science is now unambiguous regarding the short-and long-term hazards of early life adversity - both psychological and neural development can be compro*mised. A healthy society hinges on the healthy devel*opment of its children, and a concerted effort should be made to protect our children whenever possible from exposure to early adversity. Here the evidence is clear: reduce the levels of toxic stress in children’s lives; for parentless children, raise them in families, not institutions; and pay heed to timing – the earlier in life a child is removed from a toxic environment and placed in a supportive environment, the better. http://www.dana.org/news/features/de....aspx?id=39774

It raises many questions regarding intervention protocols, assuring teachers, day care providers and doctors report suspected abuse and the appropriateness of ensuring parents truly understand how important the childhood experience is.
