Abstract
Child abuse is defined as not by chance and repeating physical or psychological impairment of a child due to action or omission. Physical, psychological (emotional) and sexual abuse of children will be described. The cause is most often the parents, sometimes brothers and sisters, relatives or familial supervisors. The right of the child to live, the development and the promotion will be impaired. Physical abuse is defined as action or omission to injure the child. Physical abuse is also found in families, where violence is used to be a basic element of child education.
