Grievous bodily harm

Okay kiddo, let me try to explain grievous bodily harm in a way that you'll understand.

Grievous bodily harm is when someone hurts another person really badly. It's not just a little bump or bruise, it's something that can really harm someone's body and even cause permanent damage.

Imagine you're playing with your toys and someone comes up and hits you really hard. This could be an example of grievous bodily harm, especially if it causes you to bleed or have a broken bone.

Another example could be if someone comes up and stabs you with a sharp object. This is very serious and could cause a lot of harm to your body.

Grievous bodily harm can be a crime and the person who hurts someone else in this way could get in trouble with the police. It's important to remember to always be kind to others and never hurt them on purpose.
