2.2. How can you become familiar with the symptoms of child abuse, including physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse, and physical or emotional neglect?
You can become familiar with the symptoms of child abuse by observing the child's daily activities and emotional expressions. Observe the way that the child interacts with other children and adults as well as their behavior during sensitive transition times. Watch the children's physical development and growth, make sure to document any physical signs of injury and report to the proper authorities if there is a consistent pattern and/or signs of imminent threat to the child's safety.
