The present study was undertaken with the goal of finding out how parents view child abuse. Child abuse or maltreatment includes physical, sexual and psychological abuse or neglect by a parent or caregiver, in particular. Parent expectations are critical for all children's well-being, as parents / caregivers are the primary source of support and care for individual children. Parent perception of child abuse is playing a key role in the development of children, a total of 40 respondents (parents) were held near Assam Agriculture University, Jorhat. Data collection performed by simple random sampling and standard questionnaire (Lawrence Daly, 2015) with seven main heading (23 statements) was used for data collection, using a series of face-to-face interviews to look for further details as well as to ascertain that family child safety, behavior and overall well-being were being performed. The data was analyzed using statistical methods. The results from the current study showed parents expectation of child abuse that more respondents (40 per cent) were rated 'B' suggesting that those respondents (parents) are likely to do better for children. Set a timetable and incorporate it into daily practices for what has not been completed. Almost all of them were 25 percent respondents doing a great job and keeping up the good work for their kids and scored 'A'. And a couple of them scored 22.5 percent 'C' shows they may have done an average job. Review items that were or were not overlooked. Set a timetable to complete them and make a purposeful effort to incorporate them into daily activities. Just 12.5 per cent of respondents got score 'D' shows they might have done a job below average. Seek to receive urgent support from others through professional counseling. The parents who got Score A, B, and C from their kids are better than the others because they are involved in day-to-day activities with the kids or listen seriously to their kids and take the right action. The expectations of parents were also that participation in children's events often reduces the risks of child neglect and violence from other family members and outsiders.
