We present two cases of extreme neglect with injuries. These are perfect examples of gender bias. Our first case is a 20-dayold female neonate was brought to the pediatric emergency department with multiple rat bites to the face. A 9-month-old female infant was brought to the emergency care division with multiple rat bites on the eyes and upper extremities. These cases point towards the existing gender bias and extreme social neglect of females in the Indian society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
