Every state and most municipalities have statutes that outlaw a range of conduct termed “child abuse.” Obvious cases involve prolonged neglect, failure to care for basic needs, sexual abuse, and physical battery. Sadly, thousands of cases of child abuse are reported in cities across the country every year. Most states and cities have hotlines, where such cases can be reported. Parents and other adults convicted of crimes against children face stiff penalties that nearly always involve prison.
