Child Abuse and Neglect
Captions available
The idea
Child abuse spans neglect, physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and medical neglect, categories child protective agencies use to classify reported cases.
In practice
Financial stress, social isolation, and a parent's own mistreatment history are documented risk factors, not excuses.
Where people slip
This entry names categories for recognition only; suspected abuse should be reported to the hotline above or child protective services.
