Question

Which statement by a parent of a 4-year-old child is most likely to suggest child abuse?

"He doesn't ever help me clean house."
"He has his father's eyes."
"He doesn't seem to like strangers."
"He is constantly on the go."

Answer 1

He doesn't ever help me clean house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Child abuse can be defined as the abuse caused by parents or caregiver either through their actions or failure to act in a certain manner.

Child abuse can be categorised as emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, exploitation, etc.

In the given case, the child abuse will take place when a 4-year-old child is asked to help in cleaning a house. This is an example of child abuse because the expectation from a four-year-old child to help clean the house does not contribute to the growth and development of the child rather it stops it.

So, the correct answer is the first option.
