CHILD MALTREATMENT is the one I have heard.

There are a ton of terms for it - usually act specific. It depends on how the child is being abused. Neglect is the most commonly prosecuted. However, there are a myriad of other crimes against children. I suggest instead that you just good "crimes against children" and look for a list of them. You can also look in your state's statutes and find them in the criminal code. They are almost always under a single section of the code.

It can range from manslaughter to rape, depending on if you're a homicidal maniac, or a pedaphile.

Boarding schools....where parents dump their children for convenience to carry out their own seperate lives.

The independence and education derived from that experience of detachment from family holds them in good stead to repeat the same with their own offspring too.
