In New Zealand can grandparents demand visitation or custody when there is no abuse or parental problems?
No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.

What is legally considered child abuse?
The legal definition of child abuse can be complex and is determined by state law. Many states have included forms of "emotional abuse" under their definitions of child abuse, so you can imagine how tricky that interpretation can be. Note also the difficulty state legislatures have had in respecting religious practices that rely on prayer or other alternatives to traditional medicine, particularly when the subject of the alternative approach is a sick child. For a more definitive answer to your question, find your state's statutes on the internet and do a search using the terms child abuse or neglect.

Why should you always take action when you suspect abuse?
If you are a mandated provider you have a legal obligation to report child abuse to your local social services agency(CPS). The first thing is to call and talk to a social worker, but your next step is to fill out the proper form within 48 hours after your call. A mandated provider is a teacher, nurse, daycare provider, doctor. If a report is not done the provider can be arrested for not reporting the abuse and telling a supervisor doesn't count. If you are not a mandated provider you can call CPS on your own and talk with a social worker. You will be required to write out why you think there is child abuse on the forms they will provide.
Is it legal for a teacher to call a student stupid?
Being called names is a form of verbal abuse. Professionals should not verbally abuse. However, teachers are also human and often face great pressures and student abuse. So while the teacher should be reported, school administrators might only give a minor verbal warning to the teacher. Try to talk to the teacher first. He or she just might apologize--maybe they had a bad day. If talking to the teacher doesn't resolve the problem, you can report it. However, you should also be sure your own words and behavior are respectful and be able to put yourself in others' shoes. If you acted in a "stupid" manner, you may need to apologize. But you shouldn't be called stupid.
