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.

No. If you have a child that will wander off, it is the best way to keep him/her safe. Another opinion: It's not considered abuse as far as the law is concerned, but some people strongly object to the use of child "leashes" and the like, so you might get some looks at the very least.

Is verbal abuse a valid reason to stop my child for his court ordered visitation?
While verbal abuse certainly is not in the best interest of the child, you can't take it upon yourself to go against the orders of the court by refusing the other parent visitation. Doing so would place you in violation of the court, for which you could be charged with "contempt of court". This would certainly be of no help to you, or your child. You need to call your attorney to advise you on how to handle this. But, be prepared to give proof of the verbal abuse, since verbal abuse can be subjective to opinion by the court. Each time you learn of an incident of the verbal abuse, document the date, what was said to the child, and in what context. This will make your case much more credible, should you have to go back to court.
