    Child abuse is also called cruelty to children. It is the willful and unjustifiable burden of pain and suffering on children. The term can denote the use of inordinate physical violence;unjustifiable verbal abuse;the failure to furnish proper shelter, nourishment, medical treatment, or emotional support etc. Abusive treatment of children is almost universally prescribed by criminal statutes. Child abuse can have serious future consequences for the victims involved. Delays in physical growth, impaired language and cognitive abilities, and problems in personality development, learning, and behavior are common following instances of child abuse or neglect
    One of the earliest national laws to protect children from cruel treatment was adopted in Great Britain in 1884, at which time the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was organized. Similar societies were, subsequently organized in other countries. In 1974 a National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect was established by an act of the U. S. Congress.
    Child abuse is a widespread though drastically underreported phenomenoa In the United States, for instance, estimates of abuse or neglect by parents or guardians range from about 1 out of every 100 children to more than 1 out of every 7. At least 500, 000 children are physically abused in the United States each year; many more are emotionally abused and neglected. Incest and child sexual molestation are particularly under-reported. Even though widely obvious, child abuse is usually overlooked by family, friends, and health professionals. Prejudice, anxiety, and shame, not lack of information, seem to be the major reasons for this failure to recognize private forms of violence.
