Kick around (5)

I believe the answer is:

abuse

'kick around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abuse that I've seen before include "Ill-treat" , "Utter insults, attack in words" , "Cruel treatment" , "Mistreat" , "corrupt practice" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday and the Wall Street Journal.
