Reasons the Abused Keep to Themselves
Most children don't want anything to happen to their parents even if they are abusing them. They would rather have both parents instead of losing both of them, then going through the foster system. Knowing there is a chance they would get separated from their sibling(s) when they want to stick with each other so they can look out for one another. For both situations as being the only child and kids with siblings know that going through foster homes they never know if they will end up in a place worse, same, or better than their own home. Others in foster homes might be the one bullying with the foster parents either not noticing or not caring about what is happening in that house.
As soon the abuser finds out the abused has said something about what is happening the abuser will start attacking once in they are in private.
