title: [An extreme case of family violence against a child].
abstract: An extreme case of family violence against a child. Marianna is a child dead by hardships. The case, apparently far from nursing daily practice, is the occasion for reflecting how often the nursing profession witnesses situations at risk of remaining invisible unless somebody decides to take them on by collecting data, reporting signals, carefully observing.
