There are several types of incidents of child abuse within all communities. Abusers may include parents, older siblings, other relatives, and other people. While corporal punishment is a form of discipline, how do we draw the line and define physical injuries to children? Should the community have the duty to report such incidents of child abuse to the proper authorities? After reading chapter 9 of the textbook expand on/and answer one of the below questions.
