Child abuse is a serious issue. It refers to any kind of action or failure to act that results in harm or possible harm to a child. A child who is being abused or neglected may feel fear, shame or confusion. The child may be afraid to tell anyone of the abuse, particularly if the person harming them is known to them and their family.
