Answer:

The correct answer is - Child abuse or neglect.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different kinds of abuse and neglect, the side effects of abuse, and neglect may change from child to child. Government enactment gives direction to States by recognizing a base arrangement of acts or practices that characterize child abuse and neglect.

CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010, characterizes child abuse and neglect as, at least:

"Any ongoing demonstration or inability to follow up on the piece of a parent or caretaker which brings risks about death, genuine physical or mental damage, sexual maltreatment or misuse" or

"A demonstration or inability to act which presents an up and coming danger of genuine exploitation."

This type of child abuse and neglect alludes explicitly to guardians and different parental figures
