Child abuse can include physical, psychological, or neglect of a child by a caregiver. It may result in harm to a child's health or development. Physical abuse involves physical violence, while neglect is the failure to provide basic needs. Verbal abuse damages a child emotionally through belittling, shaming, threats, or rejection. Abused children often experience insecurity, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and mental health problems into adulthood. They are also more likely to engage in criminal behavior or have health problems later in life. While abuse inflicts long-term harm, some children are resilient and able to live well despite difficult childhood experiences.
