What are the short term and long term effects of child abuse?

Question by Emily K: What are the short term and long term effects of child abuse?
I am doing a project on child abuse about the short term and long term effects. I can’t really find any information that splits the two specifically.

Short term is stuff like possible bed-wetting, being very clingy or alternatively very distant, playing up etc.
Long term are things like, unable to have relationships with people, many different “people” issues and difficulty trusting people.
