Physical abuse may be defined as any act which results in a nonaccidental physical injury.
Indicators of physical abuse:
• Bruises, burns, abrasions, lacerations, or swelling caused by other than accidental means.
• Belt buckle marks, handprints, bite marks and pinches.

Neglect

Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse is defined as acts of sexual assault on and the sexual exploitation of minors.
Indicators of sexual abuse:

• Detailed and age-inappropriate understanding of sexual behavior (especially by younger children).
• Child wears torn, stained or bloody underclothing.
• Child is victim of other forms of abuse.
YOUR INVOLVEMENT
Involvement does not mean physical intervention or snooping on your neighbor. It simply means not ignoring the obvious. Fear of involvement has resulted in family tragedies in which neighbors reported they knew what was going on, but declined to get involved.
If a member of the community, who is not required by law to report, does not want to identify himself or herself, the report may be made anonymously.
To report suspected child abuse contact your local:
• Police or Sheriff’s Department;
• County Welfare Department; or
• County Juvenile Probation Department
