There are four main types of abuse:
- Neglect - "I come home to an empty house every day, there's nothing in the fridge. No one notices if I go to school or not." This is the most common form of abuse. It's when our basic needs - like food, clothing or warmth - aren't properly met.
- Physical abuse - "I wear long sleeves to cover the bruises and throw a sickie on swimming days so no one finds out." This is where someone physically hurts us, by physical punishments or any violent treatment.
- Emotional abuse - "My mum blames me for my dad moving out." This could be a complete lack of love and attention, or too much spiteful and cruel attention.
- Sexual abuse - "I hate it when my uncle visits. I wish we had a lock on our bedroom door." This is when someone treats us in a sexual way or shows us sexual images, when we're under 16 years old, or when we don't want them to. Adults who sexually abuse, or want to sexually abuse, children are called paedophiles.

How would you explain child abuse in the Philippines from sociological perspectives. how would this differ from psychological perspectives?
From a sociological perspective, child abuse in the Philippines can be understood as a result of broader systemic issues such as poverty, lack of social support systems, and cultural norms that may perpetuate violence. In contrast, psychological perspectives may focus more on individual factors such as trauma, mental health issues, and behavioral patterns in both the abuser and the victim. The sociological perspective looks at the external factors influencing child abuse, while the psychological perspective focuses on internal factors.
