| Keeping Kids Healthy: Self-Injury in Children-Cutting, Burning & Secret Scars Could your child be intentionally cutting or burning herself without your knowledge? It's called self-injury or self-mutilation, and you need to know about it, because the practice is on the rise. It's defined as a deliberate harming of your own body without a conscious attempt at suicide. It's amazingly common -- believe it or not, in a Massachusetts survey, almost a fifth of the students reported that they had injured themselves on purpose in the last year! Join host Dr. Winnie King and meet a young woman who is struggling with this very problem - and hear from her parents about how they cope. We'll also talk about what to do if you suspect your own child might be hurting herself - how you can find out, and how you can stop it.
