Child sexual abuse is defined by the World Health Organization as when a child is involved in sexual activity that they are not yet mature enough to fully understand, cannot give informed consent for, are not developmentally ready to give consent for, or that violates legal or social taboos. 

It covers a variety of sexual behaviors, such as fondling, asking or allowing a child to touch you in a sexual manner, having sex with them, exhibitionism, engaging a child in prostitution or pornography, or enticing them in via the internet by cyber-predators.
Child abuse is the physical, sexual, emotional, and/or psychological mistreatment or neglect of a child, especially by a parent or other caregiver. It is also referred to as child endangerment or child maltreatment. 

Any action or inaction on the part of a parent or caregiver that causes real or prospective harm to a kid is considered child abuse. This can happen in the child's home as well as in settings like businesses, schools, or communities where the child is exposed to others.
Although some academics distinguish between the terms, child abuse and child maltreatment are frequently used synonymously, with the latter term serving as a catch-all for acts such as neglect, exploitation, and trafficking.
varying jurisdictions have varying standards for mandated reporting, have defined child abuse differently, and as a result, have different standards for removing children from their homes or initiating criminal charges.

Abuse of a child encompasses more than just physical aggression towards them. It is any type of adult mistreatment that involves violence or poses a harm to the child. Neglect is included in this.

A study on the extent and types of child abuse was conducted in 2010 by TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) and Leiden University. An estimated 119,000 youngsters are abused in some way each year.

Neglect and abuse of children are grave public health issues as well as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Long-term effects on wellbeing, opportunities, and health may result from them. Any form of abuse or neglect of a child under the age of eighteen that causes harm, the possibility of injury, or the danger of harm to a child is included in this topic, whether it comes from a parent, caregiver, or another someone in a custodial capacity (such as a teacher, coach, or religious leader).

Child neglect and abuse are widespread. In the last year, at least 1 in 7 American children had been the victims of abuse or neglect. Given the high number of unreported instances, this number is probably underestimated. In 2020, maltreatment and neglect claimed 1,750 children's lives in the US.
