Answer: Four major firms are Physical abuse , sexual abuse, Emotional abuse and neglect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Physical abuse: the intentional use of physical force that can result in physical injury. Examples include hitting, kicking, shaking, burning, or other shows of force against a child1.

Sexual abuse: pressuring or forcing a child to engage in sexual acts. Examples include touching, fondling, intercourse, exposure, or exploitation1.

Emotional abuse: persistent, non-physical abuse that makes a child believe they are unwanted, unloved, worthless, or only valuable in meeting their perpetrator’s needs. Examples include name-calling, criticizing, threatening, isolating, or manipulating a child23.

Neglect: failing to provide for a child’s basic physical, emotional, educational, or medical needs. Examples include denying a child food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, or emotional support34.
