Answer 1

Answer:

Child Abuse

Explanation:

Child abuse is any form of maltreatment and abuse of a child and it could be physical, psychological, sexual, emotional.

A child is someone below the age of 18. In most cases, the abuser is known to the child and is usually a relative, parent, friends etc.

Intimate partner violence is domestic abuse by a spouse; either current or ex, or with someone an individual is an intimate relationship with.

The relationship between child abuse and intimate partner violence is that, the child's experience of intimate partner violence disrupts the child's secure base of home and family, traumatizing them and thus is classified as a form of abuse to the child as it affects them emotionally and psychologically.
