Child Abuse:
The Hidden Bruises

The statistics on
physical child abuse
are alarming. It
is estimated hundreds
of thousands of
children are physically
abused each year by a
parent or close relative.
Thousands die. For those who survive, the emotional trauma remains long after the external bruises have healed. Communities and the courts recognize that these emotional “hidden bruises” can be treated. Early recognition and treatment is important to minimize the long term effect of physical abuse.
