As far as I know, there is no such crime as "verbal assault" - under the First Amendment, it's virtually impossible to criminalize mere words, with very few (and very limited in scope) exceptions.

A student might have a civil cause of action for intentional infliction of emotional distress, if the student can show:

1. The defendant intended to cause extreme emotional distress

2. The defendant engaged in "extreme and outrageous conduct" (usually, a single remark will not meet this standard - it must be something extremely derogatory, or a course of conduct taking place over a long period of time)

3. The plaintiff actually suffered extreme emotional distress

4. The teacher's conduct was the cause of that emotional distress

Can you sue if your sons teacher verbally abused he and you after he walked out the room?

Why be in such a hurry to sue? Is cash going to make you feel better, or are you just looking for a payday? If a teacher really "verbally abused" you, go to the principal. If he doesn't handle it to your satisfaction then go to the board of education. Your goal should be to try to make the situation better - not to "get paid" because someone said something you didn't like.
