Maltreatment is cruel treating — the noun for the act, not the verb. If someone a child or an animal, that is maltreatment. Hospitals, courts, and news reports use this word; it sounds official. Everyday English often says cruelty, abuse, or ill-treatment instead. It is about how living beings are treated, not about a broken object.
