Bare spots and broken hair as well as burns with sharply demarcated edges are warning signs of child abuse. Abusive parents often do not demonstrate any guilt and are hesitant to provide information. Typically, abusive parents have difficulty leaving a child and attempt to identify with their feelings. In addition, bruises caused by abuse are usually located on the back side of the body, from the neck to the knees.
