| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Child abuse is the physical, sexual, emotional mistreatment, or neglect of a child. Child abuse can occur in a child's home, or in the organizations, schools or communities the child interacts with. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) and the Department of Children And Families (DCF) define child maltreatment as any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. This book studies four main types of child abuse including striking, sleep deprivation, indecent exposure, sexual assault, and humiliation. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
