Tip of the Week

Abuse means any willful act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury that causes or is likely to cause the childīs physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Corporal discipline of a child by a parent or guardian for discipline purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child (s. 415.503).
