Question

test: question 8

for abuse to occur, a child must be physically touched.

select one or more of the following:

a) true

b) false

Explanation:

Analyze the definition of child abuse

Child abuse is legally and clinically defined to encompass multiple forms of maltreatment, which do not all require physical contact.

Evaluate non-physical forms of abuse

Abuse includes emotional abuse, psychological abuse, verbal abuse, neglect, and certain forms of sexual exploitation or online grooming, none of which require physical touching to occur.

Determine the truth value

Because abuse can occur without physical contact, the statement "For abuse to occur, a child must be physically touched" is false.

Answer:

• A) True
• B) False (Correct answer)
