Meadow's Law, often referred to in the context of medical and forensic science, states that "every time there is a fatal case of child abuse, there is at least one prior injury." This principle emphasizes the patterns of injury that often precede a fatal case of child abuse, suggesting that such incidents are rarely isolated and are typically preceded by a history of prior abuse or maltreatment.
