A quick definition of child-sexual-abuse accommodation syndrome:

Child-sexual-abuse accommodation syndrome is a term used to describe a supposed medical and psychological condition of a child who has suffered repeated instances of sexual abuse, usually from a relative or family friend. However, this so-called "syndrome" has been rejected by the scientific community because it cannot be validated and cannot distinguish between abuse and non-abuse cases. It is also known as child-sexual-abuse syndrome.

A child's income tax is a charge imposed by the government on a person, entity, transaction, or property to yield public revenue. It is a monetary contribution from persons and property, levied by the state by virtue of its sovereignty for the support of government and for all public needs. Taxes are enforced proportional contributions that can be payable in money or other forms. The kiddie tax is a type of child's income tax.

A more thorough explanation:

Child-sexual-abuse accommodation syndrome refers to the supposed medical and psychological condition of a child who has suffered repeated instances of sexual abuse, usually from a relative or family friend. However, this so-called "syndrome" has been repudiated by the scientific community as it cannot be validated and thus cannot discriminate between abuse and non-abuse cases. It is also known as child-sexual-abuse syndrome.

Example: The defense lawyer argued that the child's behavior was consistent with child-sexual-abuse accommodation syndrome, but the court rejected this argument as it lacks scientific validity.

A child's income tax refers to the kiddie tax under tax law. It is a monetary charge imposed by the government on persons, entities, transactions, or property to yield public revenue. The term encompasses all governmental impositions on the person, property, privileges, occupations, and enjoyment of the people, and includes duties, imposts, and excises. Although a tax is often thought of as being pecuniary in nature, it is not necessarily payable in money.

Example: The kiddie tax applies to children under the age of 18 who have unearned income above a certain threshold. This tax is designed to prevent parents from shifting their investment income to their children to avoid paying higher taxes.
