6-Mlssoullan, Saturday, June 9, 1984 Obituaries dmmmer tf PubBic capofihy scaled By JOHN STROMNES of thcMiiiowllan also the ones who produce babies who are beaten up." He urged health-care workers and public-health nurses to be concerned about more than just physical symptoms of their clients. They should be alert for the emotional symptoms frustration, uncontrolled anger, the people who are ready to snap, and have no family or "support systems" to turn to for relief. Children with parents like these are ready targets for abuse. Typically, child abuse is preceded by one of three mundane events, he said: The child is crying uncontrollably, won't eat, or "the kid is pooping in its pants." About 50 health care professionals, social-service workers and others attended the workshop and buffet at the Village Red Lion Motor Inn, 100 Madison St. Bergman doesn't think child abuse will end just because of newspaper reporting, television specials or the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth by well-intentioned do-gooders.

There's an and uproar every year about one "fashionable" disease or other, he said. This year it seems to be abuse of children, especially sexual abuse. But injuries are the greatest killer of children "between 1 and age 45," Bergman said. "The motor vehicle is God," he said. "For the child who exercises his curiosity and wanders into the street, the sentence is (often) death.

The child is in the wrong. "I say the people who are wrong are the people who design the streets without sidewalks, speed bumps, places for people to walk or bicycle." Sidewalks, bike lanes, smoke detectors, pasteurized milk and fluoridated water all are examples of what Bergman called "passive" strategies for helping children stay healthy. As another example, Bergman cited a residential water heaters be set at 120F when installed. Previously, they routinely were set at 150 by the gas company. Scalds, said Bergman are the most common form of childhood burns.

When water is at a severe scald will occur In two-tenths of a second. At 120, it will take five minutes or more. Under the law, once the water heater is Installed, the owner can call the gas company and ask for the temperature to be set higher, But less than 5 percent of the owners find it necessary to do so, he said. Nevertheless, it took three years of lobbying to get the law passed in Washington. The opposition? The privately owned gas utility, apparently because it feared it would decrease natural gas consumption, he said.

Bergman said pediatricians don't have much of an impact on children's health save in those infrequent cases when a doctor can actually cure a disease, or treat a life-threatening emergency. "A pediatrician (generally) sees people who are well, or people with viral illness," and a doctor can't-do much to help either case, he said. Teen-age pregnancies account for the majority of infant mortality cases, Bergman said. "They (teen-age parents) are The real threat to children's health is neither child abuse nor the wide range of viruses they pick up on playgrounds and at school. The true problem is that the public doesn't "give a damn about children anymore," according to Dr.

Abraham Bergman, director of pediatric services at Harb-orview Medical Center in Seattle. The problem is manifested In subdivisions built without sidewalks and hot water heaters set so high that young children are easily scalded, he said. "We're into a real era of self-fulfillment," Bergman said Friday In Missoula. "Single people don't generally concern themselves with children. We need to do better.

There needs to be a broad coalition of people who are concerned about children not just about the best restaurants, or where you can buy the best chocolate, or ferns or stuff like that." Bergman has been an expert witness in scores of child-abuse prosecutions and he teaches pediatrics at the University of Washington. He was in Missoula Friday as keynote speaker for the Missoula Child Health Symposium, sponsored by the Missoula City-County Health Department. Christen Jensen COLUMBIA FALLS Christen Jensen, 90, died Friday of natural causes at the Montana Veterans Home in Columbia Falls.

Van Leuven Funeral Home is in charge of And the really dangerous abuser is not usually a parent, but an unrelated male often the "babysitting boyfriend." If society really cares about preventing child abuse, we need "havens" for children safe places for kids to be looked after when the parent is working, or needs a break or some rest. But does society really care? "It's hard enough for rich people to get good child care," he said, For the poor it is often impossible.

"The pay scale (for child care workers) is shocking," he added. "That says what our society thinks of children."
