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.
Yes, certainly. Parents' behavior can have a harmful effect on children. Abuse can be mental and emotional as well as physical.
A lot of the time there is a lack of evidence of abuse, so children end of staying with abusive parents, sometimes with devastating results. Also, false claims of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse can cause children to be taken away from great parents.
This is very wrong but three ways parents abuse their children are physically, sexually or emotionally.
Yes there are children, usually teens, who abuse their parents both verbally and physically.
Beating children is abuse. The types of abuse are physical, emotional, mental, and sexual. Threats probably fall under the emotional or mental catogories.
Yes, parents are required to feed their children. It is considered child abuse to starve your children.
Yes.
In "A Child Called It," David's mother forced him to sleep in the basement, starve him, and subjected him to physical and emotional abuse.

yes if it serious enough. a child can actually choose to leave their parents themselves and go to social services and be put into the system.
