Best Answer

Chilld abuse can't always be recognized, but in general, it is the parents or guardians who are primarily responsible for the condition of children, so if children can be seen to be in bad condition, physically and/or mentally, there is a good chance that they are being abused. Sometimes children will specifically complain of abuse, which is the clearest indication. But children (like adults) don't always tell the truth, so beware of leaping to conclusions. Some children who didn't get the toy they wanted for Christmas consider themselves to be abused.
