Child abuse takes many forms, including physical, emotional, neglect, and sexual abuse. Physical abuse causes injuries like broken bones or burn marks through actions like punching or beating. Emotional abuse impairs children's development through constant criticism, threats, rejection, or withholding love and support. Neglect refers to the failure to provide proper care, food, clothing, medical attention, or education. Sexual abuse involves inappropriate sexual activities or exploitation of children for sexual pleasure or gratification. To prevent long-term harm, it is important to protect children from all types of abuse.
