Indicators are definite signs that abuse or neglect has taken place true or false

The correct answer to whether the statement "Indicators are definite signs that abuse or neglect has taken place" is true or false is false.

An indicator is a trend or fact that indicates the state or level of something - in this case, indicators would be the definite signs that abuse or neglect had taken place. However, if considering the verb "to indicate", which means to point out or to something or someone, it can be understood that indicators only provide the directions, or call someone's attention in those directions. Therefore, indicators alone couldn't be definite signs, something not doubtful. Definite signs would have to prove with data or documented facts that abuse or neglect has taken place. Indicators alone can't prove the state or level of something, like abuse or neglect, but only point in their direction. Hence, the answer is false.
