Nothing can be proved without evidence. There are different kinds of evidence, some more convincing than others.

Circumstantial evidence - This is when you get people to tell the court that they saw you get abused, or they can say the heard you being abused. This can be used in court, but it is not very convincing to the judge or jury.

Hearsay evidence - This cannot be used in court, because it is not very reliable. An example of hearsay would be, "Paul told linda who told charlie who wrote a letter to Andrea saying that Phillip was being abused." This is not very credible.

Physical evidence is the most convincing, this would be like, taking a picture of a bruise.

Finally, it is very important that if you know someone who is being abused or if you are being abused yourself, you MUST contact somebody to get help. Contact a relative, contact the police, tell a teacher, call a lawyer, or call protective services. Nobody has the right to abuse anybody, and abuse must be stopped. Do not be afraid to ask for help or to help another person.

Why is physical abuse the only thing that can force an abuser into counseling when many people consider emotional abuse just as bad?

You can't take pictures of the effects of verbal abuse. Testimony of friends and therapists is not as strong a form of evidence since they were probably not present for the worst of the situation. Forcing any kind of abuser into counseling rarely works. It is sort of like the question, "how many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?" and the answer is, "One, but he has to really want to." Physical abuse is much more dangerous (can leave broken bones, black eyes, split lip and bruising as evidence) and, physical abuse can also lead to murder. If a woman reports her physical abuse the police will have a female officer take photos of the marks on the victim's body as evidence. They will also take hospital reports of the victim being treated for physical abuse into a court of law. Mental abuse is in the control of most victims. The mental abuser often plays mind games and is miserable, but doesn't attack his victim physically. The victim does have the chance to leave their mental abuser and file for divorce. In many cases the lawyer can prove mental abuse. In fact, for years reasons for a divorce was "mental anquish" (the same thing as Mental Abuse.) I agree that Mental Abuse can be as damaging as physical abuse, but, it doesn't leave marks one can see like physical abuse does. Still, the victim has more freedom than a victim that is physically abused to leave the situation or to file for divorce, leaving the rest up to the lawyer. Marcy
