The forensic pathologists from the Institute of Legal Medicine of ClujNapoca asses the medico-legal signs of child abuse by consulting them and releasing the medico-legal certificates. The purpose of this retrospective study was to highlight the particularities of the physical and sexually child abuse in the county of Cluj. The method and materials consisted of studying the medico-legal certificates released in the last two previous years (2015-2016), concerning child victims from physical and sexually aggressions. The parameters studied, except the standard demographic ones also took into consideration the evaluation of the severity of the trauma inflicted both from the medico-legal and juridical points of view. The results obtained will help to establish health policies in order to prevent this type of abuse and also to give us better perspective of the infrastructure needed to medically assist those types of victims.
