http://www.ocfs.state.ny.us/main/prevention/critical.asp "Generally, the term abuse encompasses the most serious harms committed against children. An "abused child" is a child whose parent or other person legally responsible for his/her care inflicts upon the child serious physical injury, creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury, or commits an act of sex abuse against the child. Not only can a person be abusive to a child if they perpetrate any of these actions against a child in their care, they can be guilty of abusing a child if they allow someone else to do these things to that child. Child Abuse is defined in law at Section 412 of the Social Services Law and at Section 1012 of the Family Court Act." Here are the actual definitions of the Laws: http://socialwork.adelphi.edu/childabusemodule/coursematerial/02definitions.php
