All of the causes of child abuse are not known, but a significant amount of research points to several factors that put children at risk for abuse. There are many reasons why some people have difficulty meeting the demands of parenthood, including:

immaturity and unrealistic expectations
unmet emotional needs
the stresses of child care
economic crisis
domestic violence
lack of parenting knowledge
difficulty in relationships
depression or other mental health problems
drug or alcohol problems
When these circumstances combine with the challenges of child rearing, parents who are otherwise well intentioned can harm or neglect their children.

Child abuse and neglect cross all ethnic, social and economic lines. Most instances of child abuse are not caused by inherently violent or evil people, but by parents who are unable to cope with their tempers in a time of crisis.

The best way to prevent child abuse and neglect is to support families and provide parents with the skills and resources they need to be effective caregivers.
