  • Not on a general basis, but if one partner wants to get a divorce from the other they can use 'emotional abuse' as a way to get that divorce. If one is emotionally abused, it is just as bad as being physically abused (you just can't see the scars) and the victim should leave their abuser.

  • Verbal abuse is a type of abuse (leaves no scars with the acception of scarring the mental state of the person receiving the verbal abuse) so no, there is no law against verbal abuse.
  • Yes, it is illegal for parents to emotionally abuse children. Often the emotional abuse has a physical part as well. The emotional abuse is harder to prove, but it can be done and parents can be loose children because of it. I am going to disagree with the person above concerning emtional abuse. Emotional abuse is not only verbal it can also be physcial. An example would be a parent locking a child in a closet for hours or making them stand in an exact position for hours. This is emotional abuse and it is illegal.

Why does child abuse occur?

Some parents abuse their kids because they have an alcohol or drugs problem, or they have an extreme temper and they take it out on their kids, some parents abuse their kids because the parents went through something traumatic like losing a wife or husband (but that's still not an excuse to start abusing your child!) Some parents abuse their children because they were abused when they were children, and then, you get some people who are just plain cruel and enjoy abusing children. Sometimes kids are abused because of temper tantrums or how they act all the time to their parents.

What is one thing your parents do that you would do differently when raising your own children?

It is important to let your kids know that you love them and set a nice quality example for them in life. If you get mad or have a temper, it is important to control it and not act out in violent or abusive ways towards your kids or your spouse. Even if you are mad, it is important not to verbally or emotionally abuse either. Kids need rules, structure, and help to do well in life, but parents need to let their kids do some things on their own as they get older, within safe limits, so they can become independent adults. I'm not going to bash my own parents though, just give advice.
