enfant victime de violence : Bien que certains auteurs affirment que les sens des termes «enfant victime de maltraitance» et «enfant victime de violence» diffèrent, car la «maltraitance» est un schéma de comportement adopté dans le but de contrôler, tandis que la «violence» peut être ponctuelle, ces termes sont le plus souvent employés de façon interchangeable. 6, record 1, French, - enfant%20maltrait%C3%A9
