Hello and welcome.

Apart from the physical signs of abuse you should look for distraught, escapism,denial, the individual not willingly speaking about the individual abusing them, fear of others finding out which can at times make things worse for them at home resulting in the abuser shelving out more abuse to the abuseè.

It is usually very difficult to find such things, and if there were an easy way to find such people as you hoped, the world would be a much better place. I would recommend you to try and win their trust first, only through this channel can you get them to confide in you and share this delicate information.

Best wishes.
