CHILD ABUSE

Child abuse is defined as” doing something or failing to do something that results in harm to a child or puts a child at risk of harm.” Abuse can take many forms including physical, sexual, emotional, or neglect (not providing for a child's needs). Children suffering from abuse can experience greater emotional than physical damage. Effects of child abuse may include depression, substance abuse, thoughts of suicide, violence, or abuse of others.
