Child abuse can start at any age, as it may occur in infancy, early childhood, or later stages. Infants and toddlers are particularly vulnerable due to their dependence on caregivers. The abuse can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, and neglect, and often stems from factors such as parental stress, mental health issues, or substance abuse. Early intervention and support are crucial in preventing and addressing child abuse.
