Your answer is Abuse.

Kid's that are young normally play often, and never refuses to play. Young kids are also happy. So, knowing that she isn't playing, and she's crying is a major indication something is going on. Kid's do get bruises from falling outside, but knowing she isn't playing somone would have caused the bruise's. So knowing all this, I can conclude that Patricia is being abused.
