This document discusses the three major types of child abuse: physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse. Physical abuse includes injuries such as burns and fractures caused by routine or non-routine violence from parents or guardians. Sexual abuse is defined as an interaction where a child is used for an adult's sexual stimulation. Emotional abuse includes neglect, belittling, blaming, and favoring some children over others. The impacts of abuse include withdrawn behavior, poor peer relationships, delinquency, and lagging emotional or intellectual development in victims.
