A paediatrician and a psychologist say warning signs include changes in a child’s physical appearance, behaviour and academic performance.
Children who come forward on their own to report abuse should be treated with respect and not face judgmental remarks, says a psychologist.
However, the primary focus on preventing child abuse would be in educating children and society at large about what constituted abuse so they could be aware of when physical discipline became abusive or when a physical touch was inappropriate. “The child will have poor self-esteem, always feeling shame or guilt, and may also experience poor relationships with their peers,” Cheah told FMT. Hyperactivity, anxiety, deterioration in school performance and eating disorders were other symptoms.
