violence envers les enfants; violence à l'égard des enfants : Bien que certains auteurs affirment que les sens des termes «maltraitance envers les enfants» et «violence envers les enfants»/«violence à l'égard des enfants» 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. 10, record 1, French, - maltraitance%20d%27enfant

Abuso infantil no es lo mismo que maltrato infantil. La expresión abuso infantil tiene implicación sexual [en español] por lo que no es apropiada usarla como mero sinónimo de maltrato infantil o de menores. [...] En cambio abuso infantil tiene connotación sexual y es una forma, aunque no la única, de maltrato infantil [...] Así en "[…] un caso de abuso infantil en el que una niña de cinco años ha permanecido encerrada desde hace varios años en una habitación con perros y gatos" lo adecuado habría sido "[…] un caso de maltrato infantil en el que una niña de cinco años […]". 1, record 1, Spanish, - maltrato%20infantil
