Maltreatment (child)

Child maltreatment, or violence in any form, can cause serious harm to a child’s development, with long-term repercussions. It is imperative to understand the ramifications, both as parents and as a society, in order to prevent, detect, and ultimately, eradicate child maltreatment in all its forms.
