Emotional abuse can cause irreparable harm to childhood development but we can help stop it.
When we think about child abuse we often imagine drunk or angry adults striking the children in their care but it doesn’t take fists to damage childhood development.

If you live in the states you can find out more about childhood emotional abuse and what you can do to stop at Childhelp USA.
