What is the oldest age of a person who has been the victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS)? I think it's called a "Baby" syndrome for good reason--it's not difficult to shake a small baby with great force, but shaking a 6-year-old child with the same force & the same results would be extremely rare, I'd think.

It's still a mystery to me that the left side of the head has no
corresponding injury to the blow that occured to the right side of the head. Seems to me that if she was hit while lying on that cement floor that she'd have a contusion on the left face or side of the head. I've always thought she was either lying on something soft like her bed or her head was "in the air" rather than in contact with a hard surface when she was hit by a blunt instrument. The lack of a corresponding facial injury on the left side might be what inspired ST's theory that JBR was swung or pushed into a fixed
object to cause the skull injury. Ya think?
