The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) as amended by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act defines child abuse and neglect as, at a minimum, any recent act or failure to act on the part of a caretaker or parent which results in emotional harm, serious physical harm, death, sexual abuse or exploitation. It also defines child abuse as an act or acts that present an imminent risk of serious harm.
