Answer:

There are multiple signs you may see within a child who is being physically abused. Some MAY consist of, but are not limited to;

  • Bruises in unusual places
  • Excessive crying in newborns or developmental delays
  • Anxious or clingy
  • inability to concentrate/distractibility
  • social withdrawal or poor academic performance
  • Seems to be terrified of the parent
  • Passivity and depression
  • PTSD signs and symptoms
  • Reluctance to touch
