Maltreatment is purposefully mistreating another person physically or emotionally. This can be by physically hurting them, not providing enough nourishment in terms of food or emotional/mental needs, ignoring for long periods of time, verbally or sexually abusing them, etc.

Child maltreatment and violence against children is a major risk factor for psychiatric disorders and suicide, and it has lifelong consequences for children including depression, anxiety disorders, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, aggression and violence towards others, risky sexual behaviors and post-traumatic stress disorders, so preventing violence against children contributes to the prevention of other broader range of problems.
