| Abuse encompasses physical, emotional, sexual and psychological actions that result in the demeaning of others. Children are especially vulnerable to abuse. They can be easily harmed physically and emotionally. The damage can last a lifetime. |
| If you are an abuser, get the child to safety and get help for yourself and the child. |
| If you know of abuse and do nothing, you are morally and legally liable. If you suspect there is abuse, report it. |
