Although these signs do not necessarily indicate that a

child has been abused, they may help adults

recognise that something is wrong.

¡Being overly affectionate or knowledgeable in a sexual way inappropriate to the child's age

¡Medical problems such as chronic itching, pain in the genitals, venereal diseases

¡Other extreme reactions, such as depression, self-mutilation, suicide attempts, running away, overdoses, anorexia

¡Personality changes such as becoming insecure or clinging¡Regressing to younger behaviour patterns such as thumb sucking or bringing out discarded cuddly toys¡ Sudden loss of appetite or compulsive eating¡Being isolated or withdrawn¡Inability to concentrate¡Lack of trust or fear of someone they know well, such as not wanting to be alone with a babysitter or child minder¡Starting to wet again, day or night/nightmares¡Become worried about clothing being removed¡Suddenly drawing sexually explicit pictures¡Trying to be 'ultra-good' or perfect; overreacting to criticism
