Physical abuse on a child is not accidental, rather it is a parent or guardian exerting physical force onto a child. warning signs for children who are being physically abused include noticeable bruises, burns, scars, black eyes, broken bones etc. They will constantly apologize and be quite most of the time.
how to helpThough it may be difficult to speak up for a child who is being abused, the best thing is to tell an adult if you are a teen or a young child. Teachers should also always pay attention to signs of a child being abused physically by looking for noticeable bruises and scars. I think everyone can speak up for this issue because by telling one person can save a child.
