Types of child abuse
Child abuse is not something a child should partake in as they grow. There are 4 types of different child abuse. Psychological abuse also combines with emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is when the abuser makes the child feel unworthy, and criticizes them. When a child is emotionally abused they feel unloved and ignored. Sexual child abuse is when the child is raped or forced to take part in a sexual act. Sexual abuse includes forcing a child to undress, and telling them dirty jokes. Physical abuse is the most common abuse. Physical abuse is striking, kicking, or shaking a child. Some physical abuse may include tying a child up, holding them under water, and even starving them. The last type of abuse is neglect. Neglect is not providing a child’s needs. For example, warmth in the winter, or medical care when the child is sick or injured.
