It includes all types of physical or psychological maltreatment, sexual abuse, neglect, and commercial or other exploitation that causes or may cause harm to the child's health, development, or dignity, or endanger their survival, in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust, or power. Exposure to intimate partner violence is also sometimes included among the forms of child maltreatment.\n\n\n<p><strong>Some types of abuse are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Physical: any intentional action that causes physical harm to the child, whether visible or not, such as burns, blows, pinches, fractures, among others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Psychological: any attitude that causes feelings of disqualification or humiliation in the child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By negligence: the non-protection of the child against potential risks and the lack of attention to their basic needs when parents or caregivers are in a position to do so.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sexual abuse: the abusive exercise of power by an adult towards a child that implies the sexual satisfaction of the person who exercises it to the detriment and without consideration of the minor's will.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another way of subjecting children to situations of violence is when they witness mistreatment or sexual abuse towards third parties. It is considered that the consequences are similar to those experienced by children who experience the situation of violence directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<strong>Where to report cases of child abuse<\/strong>\n\nIt is essential to go to the institutions that protect children's rights to end the cycle of violence of which they may be victims. To do this, it is important to be attentive to the indicators, identify them and report them.\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We recommend reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/estilo\/world-vision-convoca-a-la-6ta-edicion-del-premio-periodismo-por-la-ninez\/\">World Vision calls for the 6th edition of the Journalism Award for Children<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\nWithin the judicial sphere, people who have knowledge of or are witnesses to any act that violates the rights of children and adolescents \u2014whether physical, psychological and\/or verbal abuse, abandonment or neglect\u2014 can file their complaint at the Juvenile Court, Civil and Welfare Secretariats A and B, located at Pelagio B.
