Child abuse is the physical, sexual, emotional mistreatment, or neglect of a child.

Different jurisdictions have developed their own definitions of what constitutes child abuse for the purposes of removing a child from his/her family and/or prosecuting a criminal charge. According to the Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect, child abuse is "any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm" (wikipedia).

Child abuse is more than bruises and broken bones. While physical abuse might be the most visible sign, other types of abuse, such as emotional abuse or child neglect, also leave deep, long lasting scars (helpguide.org).

Children need proper care and love from the people around them. It is a part of  growing. But sadly, many of them experience so much suffering at an early age. They need attention that will help them to mature but it's beating and abusing that they experience. 

It hurts to see children working in the street, asking for alms to every people they see. The saddest part of it, is that some of the children had also acquired the habit of a street behaviors.
