Domestic violence has been defined at federal as well as state level. In addition to this, ithas also been identified that there is a situation where caretaker and parents abuse their child viaany kind of action whether it is physical or mental. There are various kind of domestic violencesuch as sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse and exploitation which highly affects thebehaviour or upbringing of a child in a negative manner. Apart from this, ignoring children isalso included in child abuse (Levenson and Grady, 2016). It is a situation when child is ignoredby carer and patient. They do not get proper affection, support and supervision related to safety,child's health and well-being. Child abuse is a complex situation that can be occur from differenttypes of multiple reasons. Thus, it is essential for an individual to have proper and adequateknowledge related to sophisticated and systematic policy so that they can respond effectively insuch situation. On the basis of various research, it has been identified that domestic violence is asituation which is repeated from generation to generation on a regular basis. The cycle of abuseis introduced in the year 1979 by Dr. Lenore Walker. According to this theory, it has beenidentified that there are mainly three stages. First stage mainly begins with tension-buildingphase while second stage starts with incident phase and the third stage is calm phase. Therefore,it has been concluded that cycle of abuse is mainly resulted from sexual harm, verbal harm aswell as physical harm. While on the other hand, child abuse is mainly considered as an action.There is numerous form of examples that can lead towards causing harm. Some of the abusesincludes anger issues, substance abuse, neglect, alcoholism and many more. All these directlyand indirectly affects the mental as well as physical health.

Therefore, it is very important for parents to make their children aware about domesticviolence and various situations which affect their upbringing, behaviour or attitude in a negativemanner. In addition to this, it has been identified that there is rise in such situations which arerelated with domestic violence from the passage of time. From past few year's domestic violencerapildy increase which mainly conduct on several stages. Along with this, it has been seen frommany years that children get physically, mentally or emotionally abused by their parents,guardian or caretaker via bad behaviour for parents and caregivers. Therefore, it is veryimportant for the parents to talk with their children on a regular basis in a friendly manner. Asthis will effectively help them to identify exact situation and sense of mind of their child.Inaddition to this, children need to share each and every issue faced by them in an effectivemanner. In addition with this, it is important for an individual to have knowledge related to everyessential law and regulations such as Child protection Act, it is an act that mainly protect childform any kind of abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence. There are different types of rights that6

In addition with this, it has been identified that child abuse laws mainlyexists on local, federal and state levels (Protecting children from domestic abuse. 2019). Alongwith this, it has been measured out that the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)is being get passed by federal government in the year 1974 and was reauthorized in the year2010. This has been evaluated that it is one of the largest body of legislation which is mainlyrelated to legal, fair and ethical treatment of children (The Cycle of Abuse: Definition, Explained,Examples. 2018). In addition to this, all these law protect child from any kind of abuse whichmainly includes psychological, physical, emotional and physical abuse. Therefore, it is veryimportant to have proper and adequate knowledge about the legal rules, laws and regulations sothat such adverse situation can be ignored.
