What Is Emotional Abuse by Parents?

 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention( CDC), child abuse and neglect are entirely too common in the United States, with one in seven children being a victim. While any child can be a victim of emotional abuse, the CDC notes that children living in poverty are in greater danger of abuse. 

 While emotional abuse does not leave scrapes or bruises, it can leave severe emotional scars and be just as damaging to a child as physical or sexual abuse. though, because it does not leave physical marks, it can be harder to recognize and tougher to prove, so people and law enforcement authorities may be less likely to intervene and help the child. 

However, it is important to note that child abuse by parents or legal guardians of children below the legal of eighteen is a crime, punishable under the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.
