Is this mental/emotional child abuse?
Like if a parent knows yelling at you makes you have depression symptoms (thinking of suicide, etc.) and yells and screams at you anyway. I’ve told my mom this and she continues to yell at me for getting a ‘B’ on a test etc. and it makes me feel like I’m not loved and that Ill never be good enough for anyne… The only way I think I can get out is suicide.
Yes, that is emotional abuse, and unfortunately, she cannot be prosecuted for it. Don’t think about suicide, it helps nobody, not even yourself. Just remember that you have a few more years before you can legally get yourself away from the evil woman. I happen to hate my parents, and I was glad I put up with their nonsense until I could move out.
Answer my question if you can?

too many good answers ima let this go into voting
There are several forms of child abuse, sexual, physical, and verbal. All of which are unacceptable. But in stating your silly without knowing why he is calling you silly (a silly act vs. stupid actions). The tone of which also can dictate wheather or not it is meant to harm would be a consideration. So to answer your particular question, without knowing all the details, unknown.

How would you write 3 statements about child abuse and make it emotional (logos)?
i need a little help on my english paper and my english teacher is making us do a logos on our topic. my topic was child abuse and she wants us to do three statements to make someone feel an emotion when they read it. it would help alot if i got some help.
Here are 3 educational (and hopefully emotional) statements that would make people more aware of child abuse. I made these statements from the signs of child abuse given in the article at the website in the source.
1. Your preacher, your teacher, or a parent can be a child abuser.
2. If you noticed a child who doesn’t want to go home, child abuse might be the reason.
3. Parents who blame children instead of taking responsibility for them can be abusers.

How does a child deal with emotional abuse? Is it an actual form of abuse?
If the child experiences this "emotional abuse" from father.
-gets drunk all the time and yells at their child
-threatens to call the cops
-calls children vile/depressing names and comments
-threatens to physically harm the child, but never does.
-forces the child to do things that they don’t want to…things out of line.
-treats child like dirt and sometimes threatens to kill them.
I know this isn’t actually physical abuse..but is it just as bad and hurtful? I heard that this was the worst of all (next to sexual abuse) b/c of the emotional instability.
Thanks for answering!
Brian what you heard is correct. This is abusive and this child will suffer from it. Without serious intervention and psychological therapy I would be surprised if this child if this child makes it to his or her 20th birthday without trying to take his or her own life one or more times.
Unfortunately this is the most difficult form of abuse to prevent and the vast majority of children’s services workers are not trained to recognize what’s happening.
If you have witnessed this abuse please try to get this child help ASAP!

list of movies with emotional abuse in them?
I’m doing a school project and I could really use a list of movies that depict emotional child abuse.
Try SECONDHAND LIONS where the mother dumps the kid with two uncles that don’t want him and then, when he starts to like it there, wants to remove him. It’s especially bad because she’s got an abusive boyfriend and chooses to stay with the abuser even though he hurt her son. When the son asks "Has he hit you yet?" the mother snarls "Mind your own business!"
It didn’t show the abuse as a child but PSYCHO’s Norman Bates didn’t become a psycho by chance. His mother was very emotionally abusive to him since childhood.
Oh SYBIL with Sally Field and THE THREE FACES OF EVE are both about a woman who had a terrible childhood. I know they showed emotional and physical child abuse in the version with Sally Field, SYBIL.
I’d say MRS. DOUBTFIRE qualifies because the mother was not letting the kids see the Dad to punish Dad but didn’t see how it was hurting the kids.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS had emotional abuse.

Emotional Abuse of my child?
My son is suffering from emotional abuse, inflicted by his maternal family. I have tried everything that I can think of, and have also been leagally advised to do, to stay in touch with him, but feel that the legal system for "absent fathers" has failed me. (but not gripping about it) My Son is 17 years old and has, since birth, been disallowed by his maternal family to bond with me or my family, or engage with anything that I do, vist me, me to visit him, or talk with me, either face to face or over the telephone. Rather, if I do visit him, Abuse, is hurlled from her home, by her and her family members at me, both verbally and physically, until I am forced to leave, predominantly these actions are carried out in front of my son, (Yes even at this age) in the order to either belittle me or prove to him how "powerful they are". Alternatively if he comes to visit me, the same degree of abuse is hurlled at him, via his mobile phone, until he returns home, which allows us absolutley no time together. He is tracked via his mobile phone by his mother, and is only allowed to frequent school/college, her home, and the homes of her family members. If he "veers away from his path" his punishments include being forced to clean her home from top to bottom, scrubbing, washing and cleaning up after her or other punishments of a similarly degrading nature. For 17 years, I have not given up the ghost, trying many different avenues of "staying in touch" (courts, social services, friends etc) in the hope that some day I will be able to reach out to help him. He is a recluse, and finds it hard to make friends through his lack of confidence, and has such a temper on him that he is a dustructive missile waiting to be detinated. He has been at college for a year now, but still finds it hard to make friends. His mother dis-allows him to mix, engage or have any involvement with anyone of his peers, unless they are "related to her" and Without being judgemental, since we broke up, 13 years ago, she has engaged herself with nothing apart from work and social delinquents. For the sake of my son, this abusive behaviour has to stop, but I am unsure of how to address the situation further. I have taken the matter to court, who "investigated the allegation", and found that I was "making it all up", having only spoken to her about it, and when he was addressed he clammed up not wanting to talk. We are all aware (my sons mother, my son and I) of what is actually going on "behind closed doors", and although I may physically not be able to do anything about it, her threats to him and her family don’t scare me in the slightest. "Her Family", are made up of people who either don’t want to work, or are "professionals" in the sense that they have been to university, to attain a "qualification" in their chosen professions, but socially, they are "bound by family ties..? and tend to try to bully people to get what they want." This my son has explained to me, I am also witness to, and have also had teh first hand experience of. I have tried shedding some light on these issues and this matter to him, advising that he is being "fooled" into this social circle of deliquents, but this type of advice raises anxieties within him for which he takes as a personal attack on "his family" and again he shuts down. He has been raised as "being part of their family". the only time that I am permitted, by his mother to see him, is when she refuses to feed him or provide him with money to buy essentials, such as "lunch or lunch money for college", although I readily pay child maintenance contributions to her. She also leaves him alone for periods at a time, whenever "she needs to take a break", and more often than not, leaves him pennyless, again, enforcing him to infringe on me to provide for him until her return, these periods have lasted for anything between a weekend and 3 week stretches at a time. I would appreciate any comments that anyone would be able to make on how to combat this situation, and also welcome any suggestions for improvement of my sons life. I have tried, but according to my son "have failed him horribly" as he is being sheilded, from birth, by "her family" within their homes. This abusive behaviour has now extended it’self to my personal networking sites, such as facebook, and also e-mails, recieved from her family members, that are extremly infuriating, and unpleaant, often ending in the catch phrase of " and what are you going to do about it". I have tried deleting, ignoring, and also addressing this "gauntlet challenges", but if they are ignored, they are further posted, challenged, they are continued, and taken up, I am viewed as an agressor. Please help…….!!!!!!! before it is too late for my son.. Thank you.
You have allowed your son to become a pawn in your game with her and her family. The son spends more time with them so sees it more from their view than your’s.
Get a private investigator on the case so you have an independent witness to the abuse.
Tell your son the steps you have taken, the avenues pursued so that you can help him.
Assure your son that when he turns 18 he has a home waiting for him with you and that you will do all that you can to give him as normal a life as possible.
Explain to him why your relationship with his mother broke down and why that makes her treat him so badly.
Your son is almost a legal adult. Do what you can now to prepare him for the future. Do not place demands on him but do make sure that you are as supportive as possible.

What happens when someone is reported for child abuse?
If a kid "gets help" and reports emotional abuse, what happens to the child, the child’s siblings, and the parent who is the abuser?
Please answer this in three parts:
What happens to the abused CHILD,
What happens to said child’s siblings,
and what happens to the emotionally abusive parent–
And, also, what happens to the parent who is NOT emotionally abusive, but lets it happen nevertheless?
It’s not a question of whether said child is emotionally abused or not; that is certain. Answer the question, please.
A. The poor child ripped out of the family home and gets more messed up from all the so called goverment depts. They dont get much support at all. The sibilings get taken as well.
B.The emotionally abusive parent is so controling so they know how to be calm and cool when interviewed they come off the winner and the kids are to scared to say anything against that parent because they now what will happen after the so called protectors have left ,more abuse.
C. The parent that lets it happens is a abuser as well they are part of the problem by not stopping it and not protecting their child
D. Put a stop to it know because as I have learnt the hard way not many people want to get involed. You have a voice use it lould and clearly
D If your situation is really bad get a lawyer not matter what age you are and get them to fight for your rights. and write down everything that happens date time and keep it hidden.
I can say this cause I am living this nightmare and my heart goes out to you. If it is one of your friends help them maybe your parents can get the right information there are people who will help is just trying to find the right ones

what is emotional abuse? can someone get there child taken away from doing it?
i think my mother is abusive. im not sure.
There is no universally accepted definition of emotional abuse. Like other forms of violence in relationships, emotional abuse is based on power and control. The following are widely recognized as forms of emotional abuse:
Rejecting – refusing to acknowledge a person’s presence, value or worth; communicating to a person that she or he is useless or inferior; devaluing her/his thoughts and feelings. Example: repeatedly treating a child differently from siblings in a way that suggests resentment, rejection or dislike for the child.
Degrading – insulting, ridiculing, name calling, imitating and infantilizing; behaviour which diminishes the identity, dignity and self-worth of the person. Examples: yelling, swearing, publicly humiliating or labelling a person as stupid; mimicking a person’s disability; treating a senior as if she or he cannot make decisions.
Terrorizing – inducing terror or extreme fear in a person; coercing by intimidation; placing or threatening to place a person in an unfit or dangerous environment. Examples: forcing a child to watch violent acts toward other family members or pets; threatening to leave, physically hurt or kill a person, pets or people she/he cares about; threatening to destroy a person’s possessions; threatening to have a person deported or put in an institution; stalking.
Isolating – physical confinement; restricting normal contact with others; limiting freedom within a person’s own environment. Examples: excluding a senior from participating in decisions about her or his own life; locking a child in a closet or room alone; refusing a female partner or senior access to her or his own money and financial affairs; withholding contact with grandchildren; depriving a person of mobility aids or transportation.
Corrupting/Exploiting – socializing a person into accepting ideas or behaviour which oppose legal standards; using a person for advantage or profit; training a child to serve the interests of the abuser and not of the child. Examples: child sexual abuse; permitting a child to use alcohol or drugs; enticing a person into the sex trade.
Denying Emotional Responsiveness – failing to provide care in a sensitive and responsive manner; being detached and uninvolved; interacting only when necessary; ignoring a person’s mental health needs. Examples: ignoring a child’s attempt to interact; failing to show affection, caring and/or love for a child; treating a senior who lives in an institution as though she/he is an object or "a job to be done."
Yes, someone can get their child taken away from them if they are being abusive towards them.
