The socio-economic transitions in India that grows the intricacies of life and the intense changes plays a major role in increasing the vulnerability of children to various and newer forms of abuse. The child abuse adversely affects overall mental and physical growth of a child and it has serious physical and psycho-social consequences. Child abuse being a multifaceted issue and great threat to a nation’s growth is a matter of thoughtful concern. In almost all cases of child abuse, the offender is either known person, relative or stranger or otherwise.
