Signs of Child Abuse
Many children do not report to their parents that they are being abused at their day care facility, either because they do not understand what is happening or because they are scared of further punishment. However, parents can look for signs of abuse, such as:
- Unexplained scratches / bruising
- Increased fear, particularly of adults
- Increased and unexplained anger
- Discussion of inappropriate topics, like sex
- Broken bones / fractures
- Malnutrition
These issues and injuries can indicate that child abuse is occurring, and if your child exhibits these signs, he or she could be facing daily abuse from his or her day care facility.
