child
being abuse
d? parents must take into account what they know about their child combined with all the other factors to make an educated guess. when in doubt, it's best to err on the side of caution. the following are signs of abuse to watch for in your child. be on the alert if your child: ? suddenly becomes fussy or withdrawn. ? gets upset when being left at daycare or with a sitter. ? has injuries such as bumps, bruises, bites, scratches, cuts, burns, or broken bones. this is particularly concerning if it occurs in a baby that isn't yet walking
. ? has regressed in skills already learned such as walking or potty training. ? cries frequently. ? acts out suddenly or in an unusual way. ? has night terrors. ? looks dazed. ? flinches at sudden movement. ? complains of unexplained aches and pains. ? has any unusual signs in the genital area such as itching, bruising, bleeding, or difficulty walking or sitting. ? expresses unusual curiosity in or knowledge of sex. ? shows inappropriate affection; or ? often brings home gifts from a caregiver. if you suspect something is amiss, talk with your child in a calm, reassuring tone. if you have any concern something is wrong, don't send your child back until you've thoroughly investigated the situation and are confident there's been no abuse. have your child's doctor examine your child for any signs of physical or sexual abuse you may have missed. if you suspect abuse may have occurred, make a report of your suspicion so it can be thoroughly investigated. find out how to make a report in your state at the following website: daycareabuse.com/how-to-report m a y 2 0 1 8 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 6 1
