Child abuse can appear in many forms. Recognising common warning signs helps us respond more effectively. While no single behaviour confirms that abuse, neglect, or exploitation is taking place, the following examples can help us identify possible concerns.

Münchausen by proxy, a form of child abuse, is best described as...
A caregiver who persistently seeks multiple medical evaluations because they fear a rare underlying illness has been overlooked
A caregiver who intentionally fabricates, exaggerates, or induces medical symptoms in a child in order to obtain attention, sympathy, or validation from others
A child who develops psychosomatic symptoms in response to family stressors and frequent medical visits
A caregiver who becomes over-involved in the child's medical care due to genuine anxiety, leading to unnecessary but unintentional consultations and tests

Which of the following signs could be a sign of child abuse in children aged 12-18 years in the main domain of 'behavior towards other children'?
Not liked by other children
Compliant, obedient
Overtired
All of the above
This item has no instructions
Answer A
Signs of child abuse under the domain "child behavior - behavior toward other children" include:
Aggressive
Little play with other children
Fleeting friendships (ages 12-18)
Distrustful
Not liked by other children
Important: The checklist is a tool to substantiate a suspicion of child abuse,not to "prove" it. Almost all the listed signs can have a different cause. The more of the listed signs the child emits, the greater the chance that child abuse is occurring. But there are also children for whom there is little or no evidence that they are being abused.

Answer B: 'Complient and Obedient', this sign falls under the domain of behaviour towards the parents or other adults.
Answer C: 'Overtired', this sign falls under the domain of physical wellbeing of the child, and not the behaviour towards other children.
