A quick definition of child maltreatment:

Child maltreatment is when someone hurts a child on purpose or by not taking care of them properly. This can cause physical, emotional, or sexual harm to the child. It can also lead to serious injuries or even death. Child maltreatment can happen when a parent or caregiver does something bad to a child or doesn't do something they should do to keep the child safe. It is important to protect children from maltreatment and make sure they are safe and healthy.

A more thorough explanation:

Child maltreatment is a type of abuse that can cause physical, emotional, sexual, or mental harm to a child. It can happen when a parent or caregiver intentionally harms a child or fails to protect them from harm. Child maltreatment can also occur when a child is exposed to domestic violence or neglect.

Examples of child maltreatment include:

  • Physical abuse, such as hitting, kicking, or burning a child
  • Emotional abuse, such as belittling, threatening, or isolating a child
  • Sexual abuse, such as touching a child inappropriately or forcing them to engage in sexual acts
  • Neglect, such as failing to provide a child with basic needs like food, shelter, or medical care

Child maltreatment can have serious and long-lasting effects on a child's physical and mental health. It is important to report any suspected cases of child maltreatment to authorities so that the child can receive help and protection.
