From the Alton Telegraph: "Officer details child abuse symptoms," by Linda N Weller--
[T]he ugliness of child abuse can manifest in many ways -- from physically hitting a youngster or depriving him of food to emotional or sexual abuse or preying on runaways, said Sgt. David Goins, director of the community services unit at the Alton Police Department.
"It’s not usually a stranger. Usually, it is a family member or caregiver who willfully causes a child to be injured," Goins said.
Many times, the abuser is a boyfriend of the child’s mother who also may be abusing the mother.
