This chapter discusses the symptoms of and consequences to childhood victims of abusive behaviors. Physically abused children may suffer personality disorders, become aggressive, experience health problems, and fail to develop adequate academic skills. Failure to thrive (FTT) is caused by a lack of nutrients in an infant’s diet. Pregnant women’s excessive use of alcohol can result in fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) may leave children with permanent birth defects that affect their central nervous systems (CNS) and result in cognitive and functional disabilities, secondary disabilities, and mental retardation. A strike to infants and young children can result in head trauma, which is the main cause of fatal abuse in young children, and in trauma to the abdomen, which is the second principal cause of death. School-aged children experiencing abuse often show poor academic competence and an inability to estimate their own competence because of their low self-worth.
