Child abuse can be defined as anything that someone (a parent, teacher, relative, or stranger) does or doesn't do that harms the physical or emotional well being and development of that child. Acts of child abuse can include neglect, verbal abuse, hitting, and sexual abuse. This Child Abuse list includes the top sites with information about child abuse (such as how to recognize and report it), organizations dedicated to preventing child abuse and helping its victims, and some groups and lawyers helping parents who are fighting child abuse accusations.
