Physical abuse is when you cause injury or trauma to the child on purpose. The most common signs and symptoms of physical abuse are unexplained bruises, welts or cuts and the injuries normally have a pattern to them. If you are ever physically abused especially if the child is five and under there is a fifty-fifty chance of your child becoming unable to daily activities such as, eating, bathing and getting dressed (Urquiza).
