ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dismemberment

Dismemberment means cutting or separating different parts of a body or object. Imagine you have a toy robot that is made up of many different parts, like arms, legs, head, and body. If you take the robot apart and separate all the different parts, that's dismemberment.

This word is usually used to talk about human bodies, which is more serious and can be dangerous. Sometimes when people do bad things, they might hurt or kill someone and then cut their body into pieces. This is a very sad, scary and big problem that is against the law, and people who do it can go to jail for a very long time.

It's important to remember that hurting or harming other people is never okay, and we should treat everyone with kindness and respect.
