Beating is physical abuse. Cursing and berating the child is verbal and emotional abuse. These are abusive behaviors par excellence.
In addition to the above, other forms of child abuse are sexual abuse and child neglect.
You basicly know you get child abuse when they make you bleed or brused. My parents hit me and tell me to kill myself. I never knew it was child abuse until this year (im 14) when i finally got help.
Many times you cannot tell, unfortunately. Physical abuse is the only visible sort of abuse, but in many ways, emotional and sexual abuse are far worse.
Look for these signs, but know that there can be many more:
Notice that many of these signs can also be caused by perfectly ordinary situations, so don't jump the gun and play the abuse card just because you notice some signs. Do your homework and look at the whole family dynamics. See if the child seems to fear the relative you suspect of the abuse. Ask the child outright if they feel safe, or if someone has hurt them -- don't name names to them because they might feel that you want them to give a certain answer and tell you "yes" just to please you. Talk to a counselor, a minister, or your friends and voice your concerns to them. Get other opinions from objective sources about the child. Watch how the parents or other relatives interact with the child -- you can usually tell if something is "off" between an adult and a child, and you get a creepy feeling that there's something wrong.
If you find that a child is being abused, get help immediately. Report the situation to a professional who is trained to deal with it -- don't put yourself into a dangerous situation by trying to handle it yourself! An abusive person is a violent person, and you might easily get hurt.
If you are a child yourself, report it to the school official that you trust the most -- or to your minister or a policeman -- someone that you trust to deal with the problem the right way. If you are an adult, you should call the police or your local child welfare service. Give the evidence you have seen to the person you report this to so that they will know you're not just trying to get someone in trouble.

Research suggests that about 30% of adults who were abused as children will go on to abuse their own children. It is important to note that not all individuals who were abused as children will go on to be abusive parents, as many break the cycle of abuse through therapy and support.
If you are being abused you should tell someone of authority like a teacher, police officer, or doctor. You should never be subjected to abuse.
I dont know your situation. However, if you are the child being abused, you should tell someone about it. If there is a teacher you trust or like, he or she will be able to help stop the abuse. Explain to them in person what is going on and they will be able to help you. Hope this helps.
In the United Stated Child Aid should be contacted. In Canada it is Child Welfare.
Are you kidding me right now? The whole story is about how this poor boy is abused by his psychopath mother for years. She does the most terrible things to him which I think would relate to being abused.

It depends if the child itself was or is being abused, they will either forget it or remember it. 80% of children who were abused, still remember being abused. Physical abuse effects children by making them feel slightly depressed, or feel like they have to pretend to be normal. The 80% of children who recall being abused say they never talk about their feelings of their abuse or sadness, and say that they became so depressed, they began to have suicidal thoughts. Physical abuse can effect the child in a different way if its one of the parents being abused. For example, if the mother was being abused, the child would feel as if their mother were weak, or be afraid to talk with the mother. If the father were abusing the mother, the child would be afraid to have any contact with the father.
