Child Abuse
Children who experience child abuse and neglect are more likely to experience teen pregnancy or become involved in criminal activity. According to Childhelp, abuse and neglect are often linked to substance use and psychological disorders.
There are four main types of child abuse
• Physical Abuse
• Emotional Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Neglect
While the first three categories get the most attention, neglect is the most common form of child abuse, accounting for more than 75% of all cases of child maltreatment. No child or youth deserves to be abused.
