Not per se. Grabbing any other person's arm when this is not wanted, whether violently and resulting in injury or as a part of a threat of greater injury or not, is assault in most jurisdictions; if the grabbing has sexual overtones, it can also be construed as sexual assault. As far as child abuse goes, if the child is grabbed violently or if a physical injury is caused such as a bruise, contusion, or if blood is drawn, it could constitute physical abuse. If the grabbing is meant to convey a threat of even greater physical harm or has a sexual connotation, it could also be construed as abuse.If the grabbing is part of an appropriate verbal barrage, it could be part of abuse that is primarily verbal. Thus, the context matters quite a bit. However, in general a simple grab of an arm is probably not abuse of a child.

What do you do if you are being abused by your adoptive parents?

Phone Child Aid (ask the operator for the phone number) and it's always confidential. Your adoptive parents will be investigated. However, abuse is: punching; kicking; pushing; biting; dragging a child by the arm or twisting their arm; slapping their face; using a belt or other object to spank them. If your adoptive parents are just strict because you don't do your homework; don't come home on time; your grades are dropping, etc., this is not abuse.

Hello soccer aficionados you think it to be a light thing to grab another players arm when you are chasing down a ball and today you were reprimanded As a defender how much holding is too much?

Its about the intensity by which you are grabbing another player's arm.In a soccer game , shoulder to shoulder push to some degree is acceptable but as the challenge is from both the side . But grabbing arm if exclusively spotted would be a foul .
