As used in this court, an "abused child" includes any child who:

(A) Is the victim of "sexual activity" as defined under
Chapter 2907. of the Revised Code, where such activity
would constitute an offense under that chapter, except
that the court need not find that any person has been
convicted of the offense in order to find that the child
is an abused child;

the Revised Code, except that the court need not find
that any person has been convicted under that section
in order to find that the child is an abused child;

(C) Exhibits evidence of any physical or mental injury
or death, inflicted other than by accidental means, or
an injury or death which is at variance with the history
given of it. Except as provided in division (D) of this
section, a child exhibiting evidence of corporal punish-
ment or other physical disciplinary measure by a parent,
guardian, custodian, person having custody or control,
or person in loco parentis of a child is not an abused
child under this division if the measure is not prohibited
under section 2919.22 of the Revised Code.

(D) Because of the acts of his parents, guardian, or
custodian, suffers physical or mental injury that harms
or threatens to harm the child's health or welfare.
