English term or phrase: abuse and neglect

Hola:
Estoy traduciendo un libro sobre el abuso y el abandono infantil. Me gustaría saber si "abuso y abandono infantil" es la traducción correcta para "child abuse and neglect". "Neglect" es negligencia, pero nunca esuché la expresión "abuso y negligencia infantil" (por lo menos no acá en Argentina).
Si hay algún psicólogo en el foro, le agradecería que me confirme (o no) el uso de esta expresión en la literatura de la Psicología.
Gracias!

"El abandono infantil, también llamado maltrato psicológico, es una forma de maltrato a los niños y ocurre cuando alguien intencionalmente no le suministra al niño alimento, agua, vivienda, vestido, atención médica u otras necesidades." (Esto se encuentra en: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spanish/ency/article/0072...

El abandono infantil es una actitud de negligencia y descuido de los adultos a los pequeños y se observa en la falta de alimentación, vestido, higiene personal, atención médica y vivienda; desinterés en todo lo referente a su educación; y además incluye exponer a los niños a la violencia de la pareja. (Y esto se encuentra en: http://www.ecienciaytecnologia.gob.mx/familia/familia/los-hi...

Creo que "abuso" es correcto también, pero encuentro "maltrato" con más frecuencia.
