A tear to the liver can be done by a hard fall, especially if the child is very thin. Your friend should get the child seen by an abuse specialist and get a second opinion.

I suppose it could be due to a fall but it would've been one hell of a fall. Anyway i do not think it matters that your friend has a BA or is a kindergarten teacher. Abusers come in all shapes and sizes. NO one but him knows if he abused the child. Never think that someone you know isn't capable of something horrific they just might surprise you!

Sounds like it could be due to a fall.
