Assignment Task:
Read the scenario below then answer the following questions:
Sophie, Five years old, is having a hard time walking in the early years learning centre. When she sits down on the floor to play, her behaviour shows a sign of pain. You ask her what is wrong and she just looks down and responds by saying it is nothing. You suspect that Sophie might have been abused at home.
A few days later, you see her in the playground with other children. While on the swing, a gust of wind lifted up her skirt and you see purple bruises near her inner thighs.
Confirming your suspicion, you ask Sophie who takes care of her at home. She responds by saying that her mother is always away and she is always alone with her father.
You reported the case to your nominated supervisor, who then relayed it to the relevant authorities to take immediate action.
Based on the scenario, identify three effects of the abuse experienced by Sophie. Want Online Tutoring?
