Some Signs of physical abuse
1) Bruising
- Multiple bruises of different ages
- "Coon eyes" this is bruising around the eye/s, usu. from being punched
2) Pinch or bite marks
3) Burns
- Cigarette burns
- Burns isolated to a specific area that occur in a consistent pattern; "dunking burns" occur when body parts are dipped in boiling water. These may be on the feet of an abused child, for example.
4) Ligature marks. These result from restraints; rope burns (electrical cords, rope, etc.)
5) Obvious deformity of the body. This is usually a result of improperly healed fractures; occurs most commonly on extremities.
Some other things to look for
1) The injured person's story does not match up with the injury they exhibit
2) The person is neglected (poor hygiene, dirty or ragged clothing, etc.)
3) Person is unwilling to share cause of their state, especially around their abuser.
They may feel the need to protect that person, and therefore will not want to "tell" on them.

Why would a person not get arrested after five claims of abuse.?
If a person in the United States has five claims of abuse and not be arrested then it is because the victim or any witnesses refuse to form a complaint. Also, the victim would have to report the abuse to the police and photos of cuts; split lips; black eyes; missing teeth and even sometimes cigarette burns would have to be taken to show the jury attending this particular court case. In British Columbia, Canada the police now can come into someones home if someone has complained of abuse and make an arrest of the abuser if they see the victim is bleeding; any physical wounds or signs of fear without the victim's consent.
