Among facts revealed are the following: there are about 1 million cases of abuse yearly; there are four types of abuse and neglect (physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse); abuse can be recognized by certain features of the child's appearance and behavior, and the parent or caretaker behavior; and abusing parents are also victims usually under a lot of stress.
