You have responded to a residence for an injured child. The mother presents you with a two-year-old boy who is crying loudly. She says he fell off the family playground equipment and won't stop crying. You ask the boy what happened, and he points to the jungle-gym outside and cries more. You notice some seven- to ten-day-old bruises on his shins, but no other signs of injury. What impression
could you form using your knowledge of child abuse?
A) The child indicates the same story as the mother, and children of that age tend to injure themselves playing.
B) Continual crying is a sign of abuse, and so are the old bruises.
C) The child was obviously unsupervised and is probably abused.
D) There are some warning signs, and the police should be involved.
