Child abuse and Skin tone

    Wednesday afternoon I was expecting just another typical child abuse case
that was sent to my clinic.  The 9 yo old showed up in clinic with mom with
bruises alleged by stepdad.  Looks like this wasn't a one time deal.
Anyways, this is going to a Courts Martial and I begin documenting the
injuries with descriptions and photographs, I found myself perplexed on how
to date bruises in a dark skinned African American child.  Our typical use of
yellow, green, brown, red,etc. hues isn't applying well here. All I see are
bright red, which I assume is 0-2 days in age and everything else
hyperpigmented compared to normal surrounding skin.
   Question is...any sources or an atlas for injuries secondary to child
abuse in children with darker skin tones?
