Crime of inflicting physical or emotional injury on a child. The term can denote the use of inordinate physical violence or verbal abuse; the failure to furnish proper shelter, nourishment, medical treatment, or emotional support; incest, rape, or other instances of sexual molestation; and the making of child pornography. Child abuse can cause serious harm to its victims. Estimates of the numbers of children who suffer physical abuse or neglect by parents or guardians range from about 1 percent of all children to about 15 percent, and figures are far higher if emotional abuse and neglect are included. In many cases, the abuser himself suffered abuse as a child. When abuse results in death, evidence of child abuse or battered-child syndrome (e.g., broken bones and lesions, either healed or active) is often used to establish that death was not accidental.

What is the proper etiquette on using the Internet?
Generally it is a good idea to read quite a few posts on a forum before writting anything yourself. This way you will get a feel for what is and isn't acceptable. Different moderators have different ideas on what is ok. Here are some general rules; Always post in the correct category. Keep to the thread of the orignal post, don't go off topic. Start a new thread only when you HAVE to, check older threads to see if they can be used first. (These rules make it easy for others to find the information they are looking for.) Never insult people. Never use language which could offend. This includes swearing, blasphemy, racist, sexist or homophobic remarks. Try to avoid topics which could offend, religion, questionable morality, childabuse, underage drinking or drug use etc. unless that is what the forum is for. (These rules are because people from many different backgrounds will be using the forum. Think about what you would or wouldn't want your boss/mum/a 7 year old child to read - they very well could be reading your post!) Don't write in capital letters because it means your shouting. Remember to stay safe on-line; Never give out personal details on-line in forums anyone can be reading them. Never ask for other peoples detail either (and warn others not to if you can). Never say anything you would regret- your words are being recorded!
