This study aimed to identify the perspectives which students in the nursery teacher training stage judge suspected abuse based on the condition of children and their parents. A questionnaire survey of 22 junior college students and 26 faculty members suggested that the students were more passive in judging abuse than the faculty members. Especially, it was difficult for students to judge abuse without physical symptoms or visible characteristics as abuse. In order to develop perspectives useful for early detection of abuse, students in the nursery school teacher training stage should study the concrete examples, such as instability, lethargy, and aggressiveness seen in abused children. And they should learn other examples such as negative attitudes of parents suspected of abuse toward relationships with nursery schools and kindergartens.
