Child Abuse and Neglect
According to the D.C laws of child abuse and neglect, child abuse is defined as either infliction of mental or physical injury to the child, sexual exploitation, or negligent treatment of the child. According to the passage, Anna presented with noticeably large bruises on all of her arms and legs. These marks may be suggestive of either cutting or inflicting injuries upon her by regularly and vigorously throwing her to the ground or over hard surfaces where she incurred the injuries. When the mother is called upon to ask how Anne got the injuries, she reports that she is clumsy, lazy, and lies to get attention. According to her statement, the law interprets non-accidental injuries to a minor as abuses and not a form of discipline CITATION Dis19 \l 2057 (Columbia).
