Singer, Lynn
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v10 n4 p479-86 1986
Follow-up of three-year-olds (N=29) who received extensive hospitalization as infants for Failure to Thrive showed that most of the children manifested persistent intellectual delays. More than half suffered from chronic health problems, and a large percentage of children had been removed from parental custody by the time of follow-up. (Author/CB)
