As an abuse Survivor and knowing many others, my personal (not professional) opinion of signs of abuse include: * Become afraid of people, places or things * Become more reclusive * Fear of abuse discovery (Child typically thinks abuse is their fault and that they are bad people) * Become more emotionally bonded to abuser due to "Trauma Bonding" * Become overly passive around abuser (fear and shame) * Become overly intimately physical with abuser and others (in cases of sexual abuse) * Become more easily startled by sounds and/or motions * Become disengaged from people and surroundings * Self-mutilation * Become accident prone (a form of self abuse) * Become involved in dangerous behavior * Begin to have anxiety attacks * Become less self confident * Become bulimic / anorexic (due to self disgust resulting from being abused) * Become a compulsive over eater (trying to stuff down the bad feelings) * Become engaged in truant / delinquent behavior Professionally… From the American Psychological Association web page (http://www.apa.org/pi/preventviolence/elder_abuse.html) I have [modified] their abuse definitions list to make it more general. * Physical abuse. Use of physical force that may result in bodily injury, physical pain, or impairment. * Sexual abuse. Non-consensual sexual contact of any kind with [another] person. * Emotional abuse. Infliction of anguish, pain, or distress through verbal or non-verbal acts. * Financial/material exploitation. Illegal or improper use of [a person's] funds, property, or assets. * Neglect. Refusal, or failure, to fulfill any part of a person's obligations or duties to [a dependent] person. * Abandonment. Desertion of [a dependent] person by an individual who has physical custody of the [dependent] or by a person who has assumed responsibility for providing care to the [dependent]. * Self-neglect. Behaviors of [a dependent] person that threaten the [dependent's] health or safety. Unstopped abuse is progressive; always gets worse and always causes more and more damage. It will not just go away or get better on its own. Best blessings
