The following are signs commonly associated with abuse, but they are not absolutes. This list is not a checklist but a guide to help us identify abuse when it is present.

Physical Abuse

 

Neglect

Emotional Abuse

Sexual Abuse

Trust your instincts.  Some signs of abuse are more obvious than others.  Suspected abuse is enough of a reason to contact authorities.  You do not need proof.

Report child abuse by calling 1-800-252-5400 or www.txabusehotline.org OR by calling local law enforcement.

If we don't protect our children, who will?
