I read with interest the article published in the ARCHIVES entitled "Analysis of Perpetrator Admissions to Inflicted Traumatic Brain Injury in Children."¹ However, I was most surprised to read in the penultimate paragraph "An analysis of the investigative techniques involved in eliciting the admissions is beyond the scope of this article."^1(p457) Failure to address the fundamental methods on which the study was based must surely undermine the entire premise of the article.
