1. explain the different forms of child abuse? include shaken baby syndrome in your response.

Did a whole presentation on this.

Physical - when a guardian physically harms a child. (Shaken baby syndrome can go under this category as the parent physically shakes the baby to death)

Emotional/mental- When a guardian mentally and emotionally abuses the child with words (namecalling, etc) , mind games, manipulation, neglecting, etc .

Sexual - when a guardian sexually abuses a child.

But really there is lots of opinion/controversy on what classifies as child abuse, but ultimately, if a parent inflicts severe emotional/physical injury to the child, it is child abuse. Where a child is neglected or injured and does not feel genuine love and support from the parent.

What are the options?

Because it spreads quickly
