Yelling at a child is abusive,because it can potentially damper their esteem.ANYTHING said or done that causes emotional trauma,is ABUSE!!!!

I absolutely agree.  It is the job and duty of parents and caregivers to protect their children from harm.  If they know or suspect that abuse is taking place, they have an obligation to do something to protect the child.  \n\nIf the abuse is only suspected, they should do whatever needs to be done to confirm whether or not there is abuse.  \n\nIf they fail to act and the child is harmed, they are just as culpable as the abuser.  They had the responsibility to stop the abuse, yet they failed to act.  They allowed the abuse to continue.

NO ONE SHOULD BE ABUSED IN ANY SHAPE FROM OR FASHION, VERBAL ABUSE IS JUST AS BAD AS PHYSICAL ABUSE. YOU SHOULD NEVER THINK OF KILLING YOURSELF TO GET OUT OF A WASTELESS MARRIAGE. THEN ON TOP OF THAT YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T NEED TO STAND THERE AND SEE ANY OF THIS. WHAT PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT CHILDREN FOLLOW WHAT THEY SEE. YOUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T NEED TO THINK THAT THIS IS OK, YOU DON'T WANT HER LETTING A GUY OR ANYONE AT THAT TREATING HER THAT WAY. I KNOW THAT EVERYONE THINKS THAT IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE, BUT EIGHT YRS OF ABUSE IS ENOUGH. LEAVE HIM, MOVE OUT, AND FILE FOR DIVORCE

We should always respect our elders and others around us.  So, if the kids are speaking their mind in a civil non-foul way, then it's okay.  If they do it in a crude way, then it's not.

I would not whip my children.  They are better ways to discipline children than abuse.

If it is about ways to cope with the stress, that's fine.\n\nIf it is just a gripe session, that is very unprofessional, and very unfair to the child.

Whew! I agree with both.\nAs long as you don't have any issues against you.\nNotify the police, Children and youth, and your local Court house, and have the police go with you to grammies and take your child home.

Yes I do. When I acted up as a kid, I KNEW I could count on a spanking. Kept me in line, and it wasn't cruel at all. \n\nMore parents need to spank their kids. 'Time outs' just don't do it.

YES,,,\nMental, Physical, Emotional, Sexual, ALL forms of violence and all are damaging to children, I grew up in a violent home and It took me years to realize that I was worth something and know that not all people were that way.\nIf you are in a violent situation, or you know of kids that are, it is best to get out AND GET HELP.\nIf someone moved to fast around me I would shake, if someone raised there voice around me I was scared.\nI lost allot of my childhood because I lived in fear.

I'd be an outside mom and keep a close eye on my son and the others. If some kid spit on my son, they're parents would get a visit from me and be told I'm not putting up with it and they need to teach that kid of theirs some manners. I could care less what they thought of me...my kids come first and I fight their battles.

If you are a kind, patient, and loving person you should never raise your voice to another person, regardless of whether the other person raises s/her voice first. It also doesn't matter who the other person is: your mother, your father, your wife, girlfriend, son, daughter, friend, stranger... People who raise their voice are usually very upset. You will be a stronger person if you can control your temper and your speaking level, and they will respect you more. If you never raise your voice to a person, the people around you might stop raising their voices too.\n\nps i don't think it's a good idea to tell people to calm down. people have to come to the conclusion that they are overreacting on their own.\n\nalso, if she yells at you all the time over very insignificant things then she could also be abusing you emotionally.

It depends on the situation.  If no one is in danger, it certainly shows a lack of restraint or class to yell or honk your horn when it's not needed to make your point.  You'll only create a lot of noise and irritate the innocent bystanders.  It's about caring for your environment and the people around you.

If my hubby tried to do that to our son, he would wish like hell he didn't. He'd be finding out real fast I don't play that and he's lost his damn mind if he thinks I'm going to keep quiet about it and step back. I'd fight him first and I fight to win especially when it comes to my kids.

As a EMT-i if i saw this kind of behavior at a patients house i would not hesitate to report this to Child services, and the police. If she is simple doing this now what is to stop  her from moving on to a more  aggressive behavior pattern? If i were you i would report it.

No it's not okay if your fiancee yells at your daughter.  That could turn into verbal abuse.  My stepchildren, 2 girls, hated me and I never yelled at them in the 9 years we were together.  You can yell at her but not him....Good Luck!
