They might not answer truthfully, but you might see their fear. When you ask your child if someone's doing things to them and they get a look of fear in their eyes. If your child is suddenly by your side at all times and doesn't want to leave you or suddenly wants to start sleeping in your bed with you. If you put your child to bed in pajamas but find them with no clothes on in the morning. If your child tells you that there's monster in the closet (or somewhere else), you should take this seriously. If your usually polite child suddenly displays rudeness or some other unusual reaction to a particular person. Also pay attention if they start crying when they never used to cry before. A child who cries continuously when you leave them or drop them off with a person, sitter, family member, daycare, or elsewhere. Some of these things might not be anything to worry about, but they might also be warning signs of abuse. Through my own experiences of being a child who was wrongfully touched by a family member, I hope to shed a little light on what to look out for. Most people don't know what signs to look for, or they overlook the little clues in front of them.
