Abstract
Physical abuse is the state of harming the child's body by the people around him. Scars of unknown cause, traces resulting from burning, spots due to impact on any part of the body, traces caused by a bite by another person, bruises and stains caused by squeezing with any tool, burns and scars caused by smoking cigarettes on the victim reflect physical abuse. Problems such as rumination disorders, problems in socialization, lack of self-respect, depression, fear of all situations, withdrawal behaviors, incompatibility, colic, problems in mental perception processes, and decreased academic achievement are observed in these children.
