    Answer:

The following signs may signal the presence of child abuse or neglect.

The child:

  • Shows sudden changes in behavior or school performance
  • Has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents' attention
  • Has learning problems (or difficulty concentrating) that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes
  • Is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen
  • Lacks adult supervision
  • Is overly compliant, passive, or withdrawn
  • Comes to school or other activities early, stays late, and does not want to go home

The parent:

  • Shows little concern for the child
  • Denies the existence of, or blames the child for, the child's problems in school or at home
  • Asks teachers or other caretakers to use harsh physical discipline if the child misbehaves
  • Sees the child as entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome
  • Demands a level of physical or academic performance the child cannot achieve
  • Looks primarily to the child for care, attention, and satisfaction of emotional needs

The parent and child:

  • Rarely touch or look at each other
  • Consider their relationship entirely negative
  • State that they do not like each other

If you know or suspect that a child has been abused, neglected, or exploited, contact your local law enforcement and/or child protective services agency as soon as possible. You may also call the toll-free child abuse hotline in your state. If your state does not have a hotline, call the National Child Abuse Hotline.

The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline can be reached at 1-800-4-A-CHILD ().
