Abstract
The definition of child abuses and neglect is fairly broad. Individuals, ethnic
groups, religious institutions, professional entities, etc. have different perspectives on it as it
happens. Although there are many other types of child abuse and neglect, including physical
violence, verbal abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, child labor, child abandonment, and child
sexual abuse, they have all been covered in this essay. Additionally, the causes of child abuse and
child neglect in our culture were discussed. The effects of seeing child abuse and neglect can have
a profound impact on a person's life. It affects a person's physical health and well-being,
intellectual and cognitive growth, as well as their emotional, psychological, and behavioral
aspects of life. In this study, all of these were critically examined.
