Child abuse, a critical social issue, involves the maltreatment of children through physical, sexual, emotional abuse, or neglect by caregivers or others in positions of authority. This abuse not only causes immediate harm but also has long-term detrimental effects on a child's psychological, emotional, and physical well-being, potentially hindering their development and leading to future social and health problems. Addressing child abuse requires comprehensive strategies to prevent occurrence, support affected individuals, and strengthen societal systems for child protection.
