children including in iction of emotional pain, physical injury, or sexual exploitation.
Neglect or abuse is most often in icted by the child’s biological parents. Others who
have been implicated include foster parents, babysitters, boyfriends, friends, and
daycare workers. Nurses are legally and morally responsible to identify children who
may be maltreated and to report ndings to protect the child from further abuse.
Neglect is the most common form of abuse and may include deprivation of basic
physical or emotional needs: food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education, a ection,
love, and nurturing. Emotional abuse stems from rejection, isolation, and/or
terrorizing the child.
