  • It is true that bruising on dark skinned children are more difficult to see yet old scars generally leave a much lighter shade on the skin. Split lips; black eyes; fractures or broken bones that have not healed correctly which includes the arms and legs will often heal crooked and can be caused from physical abuse. Children of abuse be it physical or verbal internalize their fears and are often mistrusting and sit or play alone, yet some can show signs of aggression when playing with other children. If the parents are around and child abuse is suspected oddly enough the child will run to their abuser rather than to the parent that does not abuse them and watch the child's eye contact when one or both of their parents are with them; children will often look up at their abuser with every action they take as they are fearful and want to constantly please the child abuser.

You can spot physical abuse by just looking at the child. You may see black eyes, bruises, cuts, etc. If the child is suffering neglect, you may notice hunger, or relationship problems.
