What constitutes abuse?

During our Keeping ourselves safe unit we have been debating what acts are classified as abuse.
The debate got intense when we discussed whether smacking a small child to warn her not to touch the fire. We were given a whole lot of different scenarios and we had to decide what type of abuse it was. The categories were Sexual, Physical, Emotional, Neglect and Not Abuse. Some scenarios were being burnt with a cigarette, being grounded, using put downs, not taking a sick child to a doctor etc. Here are some photos of us doing this.
