We should also mention that emotional abuse is linked to a child or young person witnessing domestic abuse. Emotional abuse is both complex and difficult to assess. Whilst most emotional abuse will occur ‘behind closed doors’ we will all recall hearing a child being told to ‘shut up’ or being told to do something because ‘I say so’ in a supermarket or on public transport. These are examples of emotional abuse and therefore of children and young people being regarded as the property of adults and of being under-valued as both individuals and as a social group. The box below outlines some of the features that make up emotional abuse.

Emotional abuse includes

humiliating or constantly criticising a child

threatening, shouting at a child or calling them names

making the child the subject of jokes, or using sarcasm to hurt a child

blaming and scapegoating

making a child perform degrading acts

not recognising a child’s own individuality or trying to control their lives

pushing a child too hard or not recognising their limitations

exposing a child to upsetting events or situations, like domestic abuse or drug taking

failing to promote a child’s social development

not allowing them to have friends

persistently ignoring them

being absent

manipulating a child

never saying anything kind, expressing positive feelings or congratulating a child on successes

never showing any emotions in interactions with a child, also known as emotional neglect.
