Child Abuse Recognition and Management

Child abuse recognition and management involves identifying signs of physical, emotional, sexual abuse, or neglect. Key indicators include unexplained injuries, withdrawal, fearfulness, poor hygiene, or inappropriate sexual behavior. Upon suspicion, it's essential to stay calm, document observations accurately, and report concerns to appropriate authorities, such as child protective services or law enforcement. Timely action can protect the child's well-being and ensure they receive necessary help. Supporting children involves creating a safe environment, listening without judgment, and cooperating with professionals to address the situation effectively.
