If a woman constantly screams and shouts at children do you think this is abuse?

It doesn't surprise me that Social Services haven't acted after what we have seen over the past few weeks, they are a waste of space. Try and tape the abuse and send copies to the Director of Social Services and the Chief Constable and ask them what they intend to do to protect these children. Verbal abuse leads to physical abuse eventually.

Honestly, it's abuse.
Not physical, but emotional.
I think the reason is,
is when a man does it to a woman, the woman could tell someone,
but if it's a woman to a child, the child is scared to tell people.

Father Jake

Yes, it is abuse. Why would you ever think it wasn't?

cherry

the fact that you are posting this question, is proof that you know it is wrong

Mafiaguy

yes this is child abuse

iluvsnoopy

Abuse. I feel bad for those kids

shop2early

True. Yes, you should probably call the police I don't understand why some woman continue to have children if they have no patience. No one like to be yelled at. I would notify the Police, tell you you are concern besides it is bothering your peace.

Sidwell

so why are YOU not calling child services huh?

It is your duty as a good citizen to report the mother so the kids can be hauled away and dumped into a new foster family for Xmas.

D J Motorcop

Call social services or child protection, don't ask us if it is abuse, ask the experts to check it out.

Yes it is abuse , the woman is probably stressed and not able to cope. She needs help and so do her kids.

Make the call and make sure she gets it.

dave_457

yeah its verbal abuse, the kids shouldnt have to suffer from it. maybe you should ring child protection

Poyzin

dear god.

And they'll have to listen to this for 18 years minimum?

By the way , my mom did this and i moved out the VERY day i turned 18 and i never visit the *****.

I still hate her to this day, so yes. it's abuse because it permanently affects the kid's mind not only while he's a kid, but forever .

Venus

Its emotional abuse.
children should not endure this.

Yes, if a man was doing it, it would be abuse.

it must stop!

Conor

It is a form of mental abuse. Abuse doesn't just cater to physical harm. It's a form of psychological abuse.

So - yes. If you really want to be on the safe side, contact your counties Child Protective Services and ask them.

zenman1

yes it is a mental abuse and enyone who shouts children should get seen to as it can effect chldren all through their lives
it can leads to children growing up getting in a relationshiop and not loving proper , it is not discipline

That is Frighting the Children, you should report the Women , That's Mental Abuse

Kesh

How do you know this? Do you live there? Are you the woman in question?

You know what you hear but unless you are with that family 24/7, you know nothing. That mother might be struggling with PND. Maybe she could use some support. maybe you could offer her some support rather than spending your time on here asking ill thought out questions designed only to vilify the mother.

Where is the father? Does he shout a lot? If he's around, can you contact or talk to him?

Don't call the police or social services - find out what school the 6 year old goes to and contact the head teacher. Explain your concerns and let her take it up. He/she will handle it far better than your half ****** gung ho approach!

I agree it's mental abuse. Shouting doesn't solve anything other than scare the child into doing what it's told, and you're right if a man scared a woman into doing as she was told it would be seen as abuse.
If as you say it's from morning till night then god, what a miserable life these poor kids must be leading.

The Irish Rover

Yes, without a doubt. The damage being done to those kids must be enormous. Keep on at Social Services-this is abuse.

baz

this is a difficult and probably complex situation.
without background knowledge it must be hard to come to any judgement.
social services are the supposedly first line of defence for these children,I suppose you could visit and offer assistance.your concern is admirable,but you are as in the dark as everyone else here about this.
if you dig too much,your prying
if you dont do anything,your guilty of non action.
try childline try police try anyone prepared to listen(good luck kids)

AbeLincolnParty

They should not suffer like that. But on the other side of the coin, the state Family and Social Services system is set up to help make money for the psych industry/drug companies. Some kids get as many as 11 medications, and the parent has no right to stop it.

The practice is sorcery. The people behind it are ruled by demons.

Lisa B

Good question, depending on where you live! Gee , i have no idea.Sorry.

rene57

Screaming and shouting at children is better than hitting them but on a constant basis I would certainly call it abuse, mental stress to the children can cause future problems. Speak to your local police asking their advice on the matter. Hopefully they will do something about it

kickin_it0124

nope, builds structure and discipline

Insanejane

I am deeply ashamed to say that i have also done that.And yes it is definitely abuse!and it must be stopped. in my case i was also abused as a child.later my husband was abusive to.i was physically ill i was not able to get help.i asked my childrens healthvisiter for help in how to cope with them.i really wanted what was best for them.later i developed severe mental health problems.i shouted a lot.my neighbours phoned the police.and social services got involved.we all got help.but not enough.i begged for parenting classes but never got any.phone the police now!
