  8. Emotional Abuse •  This kind of abuse, also known as psychological abuse, is difficult to identify because it doesn't leave physical marks. Still, emotional abuse can beas painful as physical abuse

  13. Verbal Abuse • Verbal abuse is the use of language to manipulate, control, ridicule, insult, humiliate, belittle, and show disrespect and disdain to another, and is often a component of other types of abuse. 

  14. Verbal Abuse • Accusing / BlamingAccusing and blaming another for ones own outbursts, expressions of anger, bad moods, mistakes, and failures.  • Covert / SubtleSeemingly sincere, expressed in a loving and concerned manner, but placing all blame and fault on the other person in an excusive or condescending manner.  • DenialThe inability to admit and take responsibility for ones actions and words concurrent with accusations and blame directed at the one abused.  • Judgemental CriticismCriticism that goes beyond neutral • HumiliationPublic or private intentional shaming and embarrassment of any kind.  • ManipulationAppealing to and/or using another's sense of responsibility or obligation to achieve a personal goal.  • Name Calling • Ridicule • Teasing / Joking

  15. Sexual Abuse • when an adult uses a person for sexual pleasure, or uses sexual acts as a way of demonstrating power or authority. Sexual abuse often involves some kind of physical contact, but it can also happen without touching. 

  16. Sexual Abuse • Touching a young person’s genitals or making them touch an adult’s genitals • Having sex or trying to have sex with a young person • Taking off a young person’s clothes or forcing them to watch them take off their clothes, especially in a sexual way • Making sexual comments about a young person’s body • Forcing a young person to watch others have sex • Making a young person watch porn or look at X-rated magazines • Taking pictures of a young person without clothes on

  17. Neglect • Sometimes parents don’t or are unable to provide for their children’s basic needs. This is called neglect. Parents are legally required to provide: • Safe, warm, dry shelter and clean, weather-appropriate clothing • Nutritious food • Adequate hygiene (soap, shampoo, and a place to take showers or baths) • Supervision and guidance

  18. Neglect • Education (i.e. ensuring that you attend school or receive home schooling) • Emotional support (i.e talking to their children, showing interest and affection) • Medical care (i.e. basic preventative care like going to the dentist or doctor on a regular basis, trips to the doctor when you’re sick, visits to the hospital in medical emergencies )

  19. Wants VS Needs • Parents are responsible for meeting their children’s needs – but not their wants. An example of a need would be a warm coat in the wintertime. An example of a want would be a trendy winter coat. While parents are required to provide their child with warm winter clothing, they’re not required to provide them with the particular coat they want.
