What Is Abuse? (clink link to go to KidsHealth)

Abuse is when someone hurts or causes emotional stress to someone else. 

What Are the Types of Abuse?

  • Physical abuse is when someone hurts another person's body. It includes hitting, shaking, burning, pinching, biting, choking, throwing, beating, and other actions that cause physical injury.

  • Sexual abuse includes any type of sexual contact 

  • Emotional abuse happens when yelling and anger go too far or when important adults constantly criticize, threaten, or talk down to kids or teens until their self-esteem is damaged and they feel really bad about themselves. Emotional abuse can hurt and cause damage just as physical and sexual abuse do.
