The age range of the victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome is one month to four and one-half years, with an average of eight months. Boys are more frequently reported as victims than girls (57% versus 43% respectively). Twenty-five to 30% of the children die, and the percentage of fatalities is highest in the 13-24 month age range. Most often--in 44% of the cases--the perpetrator of shaken baby injuries is the child's father. Mothers' boyfriends are responsible for 23% of the incidents. Paid caregivers account for 14% and mothers, 9 percent.
While it's easy to believe that shaken baby injuries occur only among the poor, the uneducated, the drug-addicted, and/or the violent criminals, that simply isn't true. One Utah study found that 75% of offenders had no history of substance abuse, and 81% had no previous history (in police, court or social service records) of child abuse. Shaking occurs in families of all races, income and education levels. Shaken baby injuries, like all other forms of child maltreatment, is not discriminating.

Judging by the stories I've seen recently, it appears to be.
Maybe that was the inspiration behind the KC and the Sunshine Band song:
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake shake
Shake your baby
Shake your baby.

From "butt shaking" to "baby shaking." What's with these ridiculous questions about African-Americans? If you really want to learn more try to make friends with some. Then again be careful. They say once you go black you can't go back. lol.
