Answer 2

As far as I know, esconder defaults to another person. If you want to do the action on yourself, you gotta go with esconderse. Jorge escondió el niño. Jorge hid the boy.

Answer 3

• If you want to say that someone is hiding, you would use the reflexive esconderse. Me escondí ayer cuando mi madre me buscó.

• If you wanted to say that you hid a person... la mujer le escondió su hijo durante la pelea.

• You could also say that something was hidden, you could translate the appropriate form of estar and the participle escondido. Mis llaves estaban escondidos. (My keys were hidden.)
