Recognizing
Signs of Abuse and Neglect In the Parent
Social workers will look for any way that they can to convict you of a crime, whether or not you committed it. They may look for signs of abuse coming from YOU rather than from your child or your home. They will say that "some signs of abuse and neglect may be visible in the parent or caregiver’s
actions and words." If you deny the existence of or blame the child
for his or her problems in school, this is a sign. If you ask teachers
to physically discipline the child when he or she misbehaves, this may also be
a sign of an abusive parent-child relationship. Other signs include if the
parent sees the child as a burden or worthless, if they are demanding a level
of academic performance beyond the child’s ability, if they look to the child
for emotional support, or if they show little concern for the child’s
wellbeing.
Another
way that social workers will determine that a relationship might be abusive is how the parent and child
interact with each other. If they rarely talk or look at each other, consider
their relationship negative, or state that they do not like eachother, these
may be signs of a poor family relationship.
