Any type of cruelty or neglect suffered by a child, including mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, or failure to provide care are all considered forms of child abuse.
Child caregivers, teachers, and medical professionals must report suspected child abuse. Depending on the severity of the charges, you may face prison or jail time. If convicted of child abuse, you may be facing a class 4 felony, which may carry a prison term of up to 10 years in prison and up to a $100,000 fine.
