The rate of child abuse in North Sumatera, especially in Binjai city was increasing every year, however, there hasn’t been any study about the type of abuse, which part of the body abused, and the qualification of the degree of the wound.

Djoelham Binjai General Hospital and the samples were the result of Visum et Repertum from the victims of child abuse under 18 years old in 2019 to 2020.
