There are many forms of child abuse. The ruthless and unreasonable physical punishment includes beating the child, rubbing chilli on the child’s eyes, calling the child a dog or locking the child in a dark room alone.
The subtle form of child abuse is not preparing meals for the child or ignoring (bo-chap) the child.
I came across an elderly lady taking care of a 2-3 year-old kid (maybe her grandchild). She was looking in a distant and her thoughts seemed to be far away. Her grandchild was playing a few metres away from her by himself. She seemed unappreciative of her grandchild and did not engage him. I guess if he fell down, she would not have known till he cry out.
That was a sad story.
