Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

He doesn't ever help me clean house.

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.
