Abstract: Child abuse and neglect refers to " any physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or exploitation, neglect or maltreatment of a child by a person who is responsible for child's welfare, under circumstances which indicate the child's health or welfare is harmed or threatened"(1). Physical abuse is inflicting a non-accidental physical injury upon a child. This may include burning, hitting, punching, shaking, kicking, beating, or otherwise harming a child (2). Child labor has received much international attention in recent years, as a form of child abuse that needs urgently to be brought to an end. It is perceived to hinder the rightful development of children, and particularly their education (3).
