The youngest was only six weeks old when I got a call from the hospital. The mother brought it in because it wouldn't stop crying." The child had a broken collar bone, and when the doctor examined it further, he found several other partially healed fractures. "Only six weeks old and she'd done that already," Ferzoco says.
