A prompt for a description, a selection or a short answer.

Answer options: o Physical o Emotional o Sexual o Bullying o Community o Domestic o Other, specify: ____ Physical violence involves using an object or body part to physically harm or control a child. This can include hitting, shaking, pushing, punching, kicking, choking, burning, and the inappropriate use of physical punishment or restraint. In severe forms, it can lead to head trauma, disability, or death. Emotional violence involves persistent emotional maltreatment that causes severe and adverse effects on a child's emotional development. Examples include threatening, insulting, rejecting, ignoring, ridiculing, scaring, or constantly criticizing a child. Sexual violence involves forcing or enticing a child to take part in sexual activities that they cannot consent to or do not fully comprehend. This ranges from non-contact activities (such as exposure to pornography or grooming) to physical contact (fondling, non-penetrative acts, and rape). Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior by another child or group of children (who are neither siblings nor in a romantic relationship) that involves repeated physical, psychological, or social harm. It can occur in schools or online (cyberbullying). Community violence refers to exposure to interpersonal violence outside of the home, which can be experienced directly, indirectly, or by witnessing it. This can include events like assaults, shootings, or fights, and the exposure is considered an environmental stressor that can have detrimental impacts on a child's mental health, behavior, and cognitive development. Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological actions or threats of actions, or other patterns of coercive behavior that influence another person within an intimate partner relationship. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.
