Another problem with children involved is child abuse. Child abuse covers a wide range of parental actions that result in harm being inflicted on children of all ages. The kind of abuse, however, varies with age. Infants and pre-school children are most likely to suffer deliberately inflicted fractures, bums, and braises. This is known as the battered-child syndrome, first identified during the 1960s. Historically, reported cases of sexual abuse, ranging from molestation to incest, primarily involve male perpetrators and school-aged or adolescent female victims. More recently, however, a growing number of pre-school Victims and male victims have been identified.
Some states have broadened their statutory definitions of abuse to specifically include emotional or mental injury. Constant parental rejection, for example, can permanently cripple a child's personality.
Perhaps the most prevalent type of abuse is neglect—that is, physical or emotional harm resulting from their failure to provide children with adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education, and moral training. A common consequence of neglect among young children is underfeeding; an undernourished infant often falls to thrive and may even die. In the age range between eight and 17 years, neglect, as opposed to physical or sexual abuse, was involved in about 70 percent of all validated reports of child mistreatment in the U.S. in a recent year.
[分析] 根据上下文推断。
题干：本段之前作者讨论了什么问题?根据原文第一句“A problem with which many children must deal is child abuse．”，译文为：许多孩子必须应对的一个问题是虐待儿童问题。据此可以推断作者在本段文字之前也在讨论“孩子面临的问题”，前后应是并列关系。所以选b。a选项是“孩子们的福利计划”，c选项是“虐待儿童的案例”，d选项是“虐待儿童的定义”，这三个选项和该段的逻辑关系并不是并列关系。

题干：本段之后作者将要讨论什么问题?文章的三个段落介绍了虐待儿童的不同表现形式：生理上的虐待physical abuse，情感上的伤害emotional or mental injury，以及抚养中的疏忽neglect，并论述了其中一些虐待形式带来的后果。段落之间是顺承关系，根据推理，作者之后很可能继续讨论虐待儿童所导致的后果，所以选c。
