Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's indictment has brought the issue of child abuse back into the public eye in a big way.

In this installment, host Tom Crann and Dr. Jon Hallberg discuss what's required of physicians who confront evidence of child abuse in the clinic.

Hallberg outlines what signs doctors look for, how they broach the sensitive subject with families, and the protocol they're legally required to follow when they suspect a child's been abused.
