Psychological abuse in such children occurs due to attitudes or behaviors that affect the child’s emotional being such as using derogatory names towards the child or failure to emotionally support the child in need.

Neglect can be either physical, psychological or educational neglect. Child abuse in children can be identified by signs such as deteriorating social participation by the child, presence of wounds at different stages of healing, being dirty and unbathed, extreme hunger, seductiveness, overcompliance or aggression, refusal to return home, excess fear of family member among others (Sharma, 2016).
