SBS (Shaken Baby Syndrome) is a serious form of child abuse caused by vigorous shaking of infants. It can result in severe brain injury or death. Preventing SBS through education is crucial.

Step-by-step explanation:

60 percent of victims are true. SBS is false and can be prevented by educating parents and caregivers about the dangers of shaking a baby. One in four victims of SBS dies. SBS is the leading cause of death in child abuse cases. 95 percent of victims do not die but may experience long-term physical, cognitive, or behavioral consequences.
