A quick definition of abuse:
Abuse is when someone hurts another person on purpose. This can be hitting, kicking, or hurting them in other ways. It can also be when someone says mean things to another person or makes them feel scared or alone. When someone hurts a child, it is called child abuse. Substance abuse is when someone uses drugs or alcohol too much. If someone files for bankruptcy and makes a lot of money, it is called abuse and they may not be able to file for bankruptcy.
