CHILD ABUSE
November 07, 2006 @ 6:54 a.m.

In the last couple of days I've heard something very disturbing.
"I wish you were never born"
"So-n-So is my favorite"
"I hate you"
How could a parent tell a child these type of things? What type of parent would you be if you said these things to your child. You abuse drugs and place your child in harmful situations. House is a mess, no food at times. How could you live with yourself.

Here are some signs of Emotional Abuse:

Physical Indicators:

Eating disorders, including obesity or anorexia.
Speech disorders (stuttering, stammering).
Developmental delays in the acquisition of speech or motor skills.
Weight or height level substantially below norm.
Flat or bald spots on head (infants).
Nervous disorders (rashes, hives, facial tics, stomach aches).
Behavioral Indicators:

Habit disorders (biting, rocking, head-banging).
Cruel behavior, seeming to get pleasure from hurting children, adults or animals; seeming to get pleasure from being mistreated.
Age-inappropriate behaviors (bedwetting, wetting, soiling).
Behavioral extremes, such as overly compliant-demanding; withdrawn-aggressive; listless-excitable.

What would you do if this was a close friend of yours for years? What if it was your daughter that you were doing this to and you didn't realize that other's knew? What if it was your mother doing it to you? Would you report these people????
I'm thinking about it.
