Signs of child abuse aren't always obvious. Be vigilant for any unexplained bruises and other injuries, and pay close attention to any sudden changes in your child's behavior.
For instance, a child suffering from abuse may unexpectedly put up a fight when it's time to go to daycare or become secretive and withdrawn.
Emotional abuse may result in kids shunning a parent's affections – or becoming excessively clingy
If you think something's wrong, trust your instincts and seek help right away. Remember, it is always better to be safe than sorry. #ChildAbuseAwareness#Elimuzazi

If you suspect or witness child abuse, it is important to report it to the appropriate authorities immediately. You can contact your local child protective services agency, the police, or the National Child Abuse to make a report.
When making a report, provide as much information as possible, including the child's name, age, and address, as well as any details you have about the abuse or neglect.
Don't hesitate to report abuse even if you're not sure. It is better to err on the side of caution and let professionals determine if abuse has occurred.
