Which term is best defined as right and wrong standards often based on religious beliefs?

Best interest and nonmaleficence: These principles are typically not overlooked in child abuse cases. Ensuring the best interest of the child and avoiding harm are fundamental principles in child protection.

Privacy and self-determination: These principles can sometimes conflict with the need to report child abuse. Privacy concerns might make individuals hesitant to report suspicions, especially if they fear repercussions. Self-determination, especially in cases involving older children or teenagers, can complicate reporting if the child denies the abuse or refuses intervention.

Paternalism and beneficence: These principles, which involve acting in the best interest of the child even without their consent, are usually not overlooked. In cases of suspected child abuse, acting in the child's best interest often takes precedence.

Veracity and obligation: Veracity (truthfulness) is important in reporting child abuse, but it's not typically overlooked. Obligation to protect the child's safety and well-being often overrides concerns about confidentiality in suspected cases of abuse.

Application of force to another person without lawful justification: This describes battery, not assault. Battery involves the actual application of force or harmful contact with another person.

Threats to do bodily harm to the person or another person: Assault refers to the intentional act of causing someone to fear that they will be physically harmed. It involves the threat of harm, not the actual physical contact.

A legal wrong committed by one person against the property of another: This describes trespass to property, which involves interfering with another person's property without permission.

A legal wrong committed against the public and punishable by law: This is a broad description of a crime, but it does not specifically define assault. Assault is a specific type of crime involving the threat of bodily harm.
