Child abuse and neglect is a broad structure that includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and neglect. Child neglect and abuse is one of the primary areas of responsibility of health professionals, which negatively affects child health and threatens public health in the long term. All healthcare professionals are legally obligated to report known or suspected cases of child abuse and neglect. Health professionals, in particular, play an important role in stopping child abuse by assessing children, identifying risk factors, and reporting suspected child maltreatment to authorities. Early diagnosis of a neglected and abused child is important in reducing the recurrence of maltreatment. Regarding the evaluation of child neglect and abuse, healthcare professionals should approach a child who presents with suspicious injuries, thinking that he or she may be abused. The key here is to be aware of the problem. Health professionals should carefully examine children and fulfill their responsibilities by identifying possible clues to abuse and neglect. It is recommended that clues to recognize neglect and abuse be taught within the scope of in-service training for healthcare professionals working in hospitals.
