Answer by Suger smack
It means being mean or cruel to a child.

It happens for many reasons and some abuse is not as bad as others (although it’s all bad.)

I think the main reason it happens is people are immature and overwhelmed. I think the second biggest reason is some parents might be on drugs. It can happen to any child and from anyone but mostly caregivers like parents or babysitters, nannies and grandparents.
