Is the most difficult form of child maltreatment to identify. a. physical abuse b. sexual abuse c. neglect d. emotional abuse

Emotional Abuse would be the most difficult form of child maltreatment.

While all these forms of maltreatment of children are more or less visible, the most difficult to identify is emotional abuse. Physical abuse can be easily detectable due to the trauma of abuse on the child's body.  Sexual abuse can not always be easily identified because the child feels fear or shame to talk about it. Neglect can be noticed in the fact that the child is withdrawn, and other disorders in the behavior of the child can also occur. As for emotional abuse, there is a difference between emotional disturbance, which parents recognize and accept as a disease of the child to be treated, and do so. However, it often happens, unfortunately, that parents of an emotionally abused child refuse help, and they apply punitive restrictive measures to the child and are not concerned about the welfare of the child.
