EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Child abuse can be seen as any act of omission or commission, physical or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child by its parent, guardian, caregivers or other adults that may endanger the child’s physical, psychological or emotional health and development. In this definition, wrongfully maltreating a child or selfishly making an unfair use of a child’s services by adults responsible for the child constitutes child abuse .thus the adult may not be directly related to the child but a person in whose care the child is left can be an abuser. This may include the educators, healthcare workers, day care workers, or other responsible adults [child welfare information gateway
