Some may have read my first blog posting concerning this matter. IF YOU HAVE NOT, GO BACK AND READ IT. PLEASE READ IT! IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Obviously this subject is dear and close to my heart because it affects our future, which is our precious, talented and beautiful YOUTH! Children are the some of the most helpless members of our society, mainly because they have to depend on others to get what they need, to get their needs met. Sad to say, in most of the cases, the adults that children rely on are the ones who abuse them.
As was stated in my previous blog post there are numerous reasons why a child may not reveal that he or she has been abused. All of these reasons are VALID. MORE VALID THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE!
If a child has decided to be silent on the matter of abuse, it is our jobs,
NO, it is our RESPONSIBILITY, and our OBLIGATION to pay attention to our children so that this can be deciphered. We must pay attention to their every being, to their countenance, to their facial expressions, to their words, and jesters, to their eye movements, to their EVERYTHING! WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, CLOSE ATTENTION!
What are the signs that a child/children has been or are being abused? Watch for the RED FLAGS!
(1) The child/children may stay away from their friends or stop doing their usual activities
(2) Their behavior may change, they may have been a mild and submissive child and now they are aggressive, angry, hostile, or hyper
(3) Their performance in school has changed, has gone down, has depleted
(4) The child/children is depressed, has a form of anxiety or all of a sudden has a loss of confidence
(5) They have attempts of suicide
(6) They have a defiant and rebellious attitude
(7) The child/children seem frightened to go home, they do not want to leave extracurricular activities
(8) They play hookey, there are frequent absences from school or they do not want a ride to school
(9) There are unexplained injuries
(10) Injuries that do no match the explanation given
(11) Medical, mental or dental problems that are untreated
(12) The child/children may have trouble walking
(13) Abusing other children
(14) Desperately seeking attention and/or affection
(15) Blood in the underwear
(16) Bruises on the body
(17) Inappropriate sexual behavior
(18) Sexual transmitted disease or infection
(19) Headaches/stomachaches
(20) Poor growth or weight gain
(21) Stealing food and/or money
(22) Overeating
(23) Poor hygiene
ALL of the possible signs can not be mentioned unfortunately. If some of these symptoms are noticed in your child/children, it does not absolutely mean that your child/children has been abused sexually, physically, or even emotionally BUT it would be beneficial to check them out!
