and Mia Farrow custody row arrive tomorrow.

Dr. Albert Solnit and Ms Barbara Nordhaus hope to improve Bermudian parents' understanding of child abuse.

And on Sunday afternoon they will hold a private seminar for parents.

The pair, from the Yale University Child Studies Centre, were invited to Bermuda by Ms Sheelagh Cooper, from the Coalition for the Protection of Children.

Their three-day visit comes amid continuing concern over child abuse.

Ms Cooper said her group's hotline had been flooded with calls.

Ms Cooper said she was delighted by the visit of psychiatrist Dr. Solnit, and social worker Ms Nordhaus because they would be able to tell parents how they can help abused children.

Ms Cooper added the Child Studies Centre had lent its expertise in the recent dispute involving film stars Allen and Farrow.
