Abstract

In the past several years, children and adolescents have increasingly been enticed into playing dangerous and challenging games, particularly through social networks. Epidemiological data regarding this phenomenon are particularly difficult to come by, as is information regarding the somatic and psychological consequences of these activities, which can end up having fatal outcomes. We here report the case of a suspicion of child abuse that turned out to be due to participation in a challenge game known as “The Deodorant Challenge” by a 10-year-old child who presented with burn-like lesions. Collaboration with the police and assessment of the psychopathological profile of the child allowed the self-inflicted nature of the injuries to be identified, thereby allowing intrafamilial abuse to be ruled out as the cause of the injuries.
让我们“游戏”它!危险的游戏,新的健康挑战。
在过去的几年里,儿童和青少年越来越多地被引诱去玩危险和具有挑战性的游戏,特别是通过社交网络。关于这一现象的流行病学数据尤其难以获得,关于这些活动的身体和心理后果的信息也是如此,这些活动最终可能造成致命的后果。我们在此报告一起涉嫌虐待儿童的案件,结果是由于一个10岁的孩子参加了一个名为“除臭剂挑战”的挑战游戏,他出现了烧伤样的病变。与警察的合作以及对儿童的精神病理特征的评估,使得可以确定伤害的性质是自己造成的,从而可以排除家庭内部虐待是造成伤害的原因。
