Observable Signs of Physical Abuse

|
Richard Krugman, M.D.
"For physical abuse we may see bruises or injuries that are
unexplained. Physical abuse is usually easier to spot that sexual
abuse or emotional abuse. In physical abuse the child who comes in
with black eyes or has bruises generally over non-bony areas of the
body, over soft tissue areas, over their abdomen, over their
buttocks, over their cheeks are probably children who are more
likely to have been abused than have accidental injuries."
