    There are four main types of child abuse: physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect. Risk factors include parental history of abuse, substance abuse, young age or low income of parents, and neighborhood disadvantages. Protective factors are supportive family/social networks, meeting basic needs, nurturing parenting, and stable relationships. To prevent abuse, strategies target strengthening families, changing social norms, providing early education and care, enhancing parenting skills, and intervening to reduce future risks. If abuse is suspected, it should be reported to child protective services. For elders, abuse can also include abandonment and financial exploitation. Immediate help can be sought by calling 911 or elder abuse hotlines.
