Gil's theory was based on his research in the 1970's, that child abuse was related to social class and that psychological explanations of abuse on their own were too narrow based as it underestimated the stress from society through poverty etc. Gil's theory also mentions that the state is also to blame through policy making making such inequalities. hope this helps a little. Brian Corby is usually helpful for explaining the social structural theories.

Not flushing the toilet
The legal definition of child abuse can be complex and is determined by state law. Many states have included forms of "emotional abuse" under their definitions of child abuse, so you can imagine how tricky that interpretation can be. Note also the difficulty state legislatures have had in respecting religious practices that rely on prayer or other alternatives to traditional medicine, particularly when the subject of the alternative approach is a sick child. For a more definitive answer to your question, find your state's statutes on the internet and do a search using the terms child abuse or neglect.
It is likely that they have a more reasonable definition of 'abuse' or that there is simply more reports in the US.Even within the US, the definition of child abuse varies from state to state. The reporting and data collection methods in China are very different than the US methodology. And as previously mentioned, the definitions of child abuse differ.
