What is Child Abuse?

Child abuse is the treatment of a child that results in physical, emotional, or mental harm. Child abuse can take place at the hands of a parent, caregiver, teacher, clergy, or other professionals, and it can cause long-term trauma to a child. Fortunately, it’s also considered one of the most serious criminal offenses with penalties including incarceration, loss of guardianship, loss of livelihood and more—and it’s our job to help punish the perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law. If you know a child who has been the victim of abuse, take action and reach out to the attorneys at Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Holloway.

What Are Examples of Child Abuse?
