Summary
There are many different ways to be able to notice and suspect the
victims of abuse. There are many different forms of abuse, but mainly
focussing on physical abuse. The most common form of physical abuse is
hitting, pushing, shoving, and even throwing things at the child. Abuse
normally happens under the pretenses of a misinterpretation, causing
inappropriate behaviour from the adult. There are also many other
inexcusable reasons as to why a child is abused and taken advantage of,

Article Usefulness
I would give this article a 4, it was very helpful in the symptoms and signs of
the abuse, but did not provide much useful information as to how we are supposed
to act and evaluate the child without causing more damage, and keeping
precautions. This article was highly knowledgeable in the information section of the
abuse and the effects of it. It did provide us with many facts and tips as to what is
going on and how to look for it. This article provided us with many different ways
that abuse is conducted, and what the effects can lead to. I would not fully give it a
5 because I think it was a little scattered, and focussed mainly on what is
happening, and didnt give very much information on what is to take place once the
abuse is noticed. Although that was mentioned, it does not go into detail and that
would have been very helpful. I believe that this article was very helpful in the ways
of giving us more information and insight into the pain and hurt caused to this child
by just a squeeze or a hit. Many of these injuries can quickly accelerate to bigger
issues if not taken care of.
Conclusion
Although we know that we cannot prevent abuse, this article gives the
opportunity to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms, and possibly save that
child from their abuser. This article helps to ease our thinking when it comes to the
steps taken in helping a child escape their abuser. We are also made more aware of
