Suicide is one of the top causes of death worldwide for children (over the age of 10) and also adolescents, being the result of interactions between the risk and the protective factors. Abuse is frequently involved in the causality of suicidal behaviour, being a wide phenomenon with major social importance, in all of its forms: physical, sexual or emotional as well as negligence, which cause the embrittlement of the psychological structures or precipitate the onset of psychiatric pathologies that involve a significant suicidal risk. This paper, as a synthesis of the literature, seeks to attract attention to this widespread phenomenon, foreshadowing the need for future studies that would substantiate interventional strategies.
