In Georgia, child abuse is defined as any intentional act that causes physical harm, emotional harm, or neglect to a child under the age of 18. This includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect, such as failing to provide necessary food, shelter, medical care, or education. Additionally, exposing a child to domestic violence or substance abuse can also be considered abusive. Reports of suspected child abuse must be made to the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services or law enforcement.
