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- Is overly compliant, passive, or withdrawn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 ().
