What are signs my babysitter has abused my child?

The signs that your babysitter has abused your child are going to come directly from your child. You're going to notice a behavioral difference. If it's a physical abuse situation where your babysitter says "Oh, your child fell down the stairs and that's why they have a black eye", you certainly are going to want to investigate that. Whenever you do find that there is something odd, such as the behavior in your child has changed and they're afraid to be around that babysitter or they don't want to talk about it, you should investigate it further. Babysitters can often, if they do something wrong, convince kids not to tell. It happens a lot. Kids are convinced to keep secrets from their parents for reasons that they think are going to be worse than telling the truth. What I would do is immediately stop contact between the babysitter and the child. You would have to think about whether you want to file a child abuse investigation case and call the local police department. What you want to do immediately is stop using that babysitter.
