39. How can a teacher determine if a bump or bruise is a legitimate injury or an act of child abuse?
ANSWER:
Several factors can be evaluated, including the child’s age and the location, size, and shape of
the injury. Children who are not yet walking are not likely to have bruises on their body;
children who accidentally stumble will put out their hands to break the fall. In almost all
cases, a child who is being abused will also exhibit behavioral changes.

41. In what ways can a teacher help a child who has been abused or neglected?
ANSWER:
Teachers should be positive role models. They can gradually build a trusting relationship
with the child, offer unconditional acceptance, be a good listener, encourage the child’s
efforts, praise successes, offer a caring environment, establish limits for acceptable behavior,
provide consistent routines to help the child feel secure, and encourage the child to talk about
feelings and concerns (without adult judgment).

ANSWER:
The type, location, size, and color of the injury should be noted. It is also important to note
the child’s explanation, the family’s explanation, and any notable changes in the child’s
behavior. If neglect is suspected, signs of hunger, uncleanliness, inappropriate dress, fatigue,
or lack of medical care may be noted. Behavioral indicators, such as fear, withdrawal, or
excessive fatigue, may also be observed.

43. Your 9-year-old wants to stay home alone while you go to the grocery store. How would you determine whether this is
the right thing to do?
ANSWER:
This decision should be based on several factors, including the child’s level of maturity,
ability to comply with family rules, previous demonstrations of responsible behavior, and
comfort level (with being left alone). Rehearse “what ifs” (What if someone comes to the
door? What would you do if the telephone rings?) with the child to determine whether his or
her judgment and responses are appropriate for the circumstances. The child can also be left
home alone for brief trial periods, which can gradually be increased in length if the child
continues to feel confident.

44. Each year investigative authorities are notified of thousands of abuse and neglect cases. Although statistics suggest the
incidence of childhood maltreatment is increasing, some authorities do not agree. What factors might help to explain this
discrepancy?
ANSWER:
Experts agree that there may be a slight increase in the actual incidence of child maltreatment
because more families are experiencing added stress due to single parenting, unemployment,
financial obligations, military deployments, and homelessness. However, improved public
awareness, reporting, investigative efforts, and professional training in the early recognition
of abuse and neglect may actually account for the increased number of reported cases. In
addition, several new forms of abuse and neglect, including abusive head trauma (formerly
shaken baby syndrome), medical neglect, and educational neglect (truancy), are now
recognized by the courts and, in turn, contribute to the increasing number of children
identified as victims of maltreatment.
