⚠️ The trap
An 'abusivo' in Italian is typically something built or done illegally, not a person who mistreats others. To describe an abusive person, say 'violento' or 'che maltratta'.
To say "treating someone cruelly or violently" in Italian:
violento, maltrattante
"abusivo" in English means:
illegal, unauthorized, built without a permit

"Hanno demolito la casa abusiva costruita senza permessi."
