Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is not a credible explanation. Children tend to bite other children on areas other than the genitals or buttocks.
B Incorrect: This is not a likely explanation of the bite marks.
C Correct: Bite marks around the genital and buttock area are indicators of physical or sexual abuse. Lesions from bites are oval or semicircular. If the diameter across the lesion is greater than 3 cm, it was probably inflicted by an adult.
D Incorrect: A bite from an animal such as a dog has sharp, puncture, slash or tear marks. This is not a likely explanation.
