Child Abuse Defined

WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI) – There’s different types of child abuse.

Abuse can range from physical, emotional, sexual, and even neglect.

Sally Kate Winters Outreach Coordinator, Heather Usry, says child abuse isn’t tied to any economical or racial background, but there seems to be a common factor.

“Anger, or you know, before you allow yourself to lose control. I think that’s kind of when you approach crossing the line.”
