<h3>What does the word "abused" mean ?</h3>

Abuse is defined as conduct that is against generally accepted ethical norms in business, medicine, or finance that results in unnecessary spending, payment for treatments that are not medically necessary, or noncompliance with industry-recognized standards for health care.

Physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse are the four basic types of maltreatment, according to the majority of States. In several States, parental drug use, involvement in human trafficking, and abandonment are also considered instances of abuse or neglect.
