Intrafamilial Child Torture (ICT) is a severe form of child abuse where parents or caregivers torture their own children. This often includes the perpetration of physical, sexual, and psychological torture used as tactics to meet the psychopathological needs of the caregiver. ICT presents with unique family dynamics and perpetrator psychopathology that is different from typical maltreatment. It is often missed or misbelieved due to the extreme nature of the harm & sophistication of the perpetrator. Many ICT cases are not discovered until there has been a child fatality, but we can learn from these cases, intervene and prevent future fatalities
