Abstract
The <i>Archives of Disease in Childhood</i>'s centenary provides an opportunity to reflect on how our attitudes to child abuse have changed. Many are still reluctant to think the unthinkable and ask the awkward questions, but several high-profile cases have shown that recognition is still wanting, despite mandatory safeguarding training for all professionals working with children.A timeline of significant cases which have changed practice in the UK is given in the table and some of the most important will be discussed in this review.
