Featuring FEYISAYO ADEBAYO-SANNI on CHILD ABUSE MENTAL HEALTH SHOW WITH JAMES OSUNTOOGUN (MC JERRYJAY)

Child abuse is any mistreatment or neglect that causes harm to a child 18 years old or younger. This can include sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, as well as neglect.

The mistreatment is caused by an adult, often one with a role of responsibility in the child’s life.

The person responsible for the abuse may be a parent or family member. It can also be someone acting as a caregiver or with authority in the child's life, including a coach, teacher, or religious leader.

The immediate emotional effects of abuse and neglect—isolation, fear, and an inability to trust—can translate into lifelong consequences, including low self-esteem, depression, and relationship difficulties, as well as increased risk for developing an addiction to drugs and alcohol.
