For sexual abuse: if someone engages in any form of sexual relation without the other person's consent, if someone engages in any form of sexual relation with someone under the age of 16, if a person in position of authority (parent, uncle, aunt, teacher, counselor, etc) engages in any form of sexual relation with a person under the age of 18. Also, if some shows a child pornography, or takes pornographic photos of them, that's also abuse. There's quite a few things that would be considered sexual abuse. For physical abuse: intentionally burning a child, or striking a child in a way that can cause serious bodily harm. Basically, if it leaves a bruise, it's likely abuse. It depends a great deal on the situation. Emotional abuse/neglect: I was unable to find the specific law. If there's a particular situation, feel free to email me (kiotabandal@gmail.com) with the specifics and I'll try to help further.
