[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what coining is, and not weighing in with any opinion — just struck me as interesting that DC CPS considers it unacceptable in the same bulleted list as FGM…and Stanford Medicine says “This practice has been misidentified as child abuse in case reports.” https://childabuse.stanford.edu/faq.html[/quote] I saw that link along with some others that had the same language--verbatim--which led me to think they all pulled from the same source. I had vaguely heard of this stuff but was not knowledgeable, looking it up (as well as images on Google) seems to me like it is not necessarily dangerous or abusive BUT can be. Here's more: https://champprogram.com/question/22a.shtml the marks are called purpura and are not bruises (after I looked up the difference). [quote]Purpura consists of red or purple lesions that are similar to bruises, in that they are blood added to the skin tissues. However, purpura spots are not the result of blunt force trauma. [/quote] Basically what happens is there are broken blood vessels in/under the skin as opposed to force to deeper tissues. And the presence of blood in/under the skin does not necessarily equate to pain.[/quote]
