Child abuse is emotional when you are constantly blaming or putting down a child; excessive yelling, shaming. It is likely that emotional child abuse is greatly underreported, since it can be difficult to detect and difficult to document. Emotional child abuse includes acts of commission or omission by the parents and other caregivers that could cause the child to have serious behavioral, emotional, or mental disorders. In some instances of emotional child abuse, the acts of parents or other caregivers alone, without any harm yet evident in the child's behavior or condition, are sufficient to warrant the intervention of child protective services. For example, the parents or caregivers may use extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as confinement of a child in a dark closet.

Unit 4: Discussion A. Failure to develop a secure attachment might affect a child later in life by not allowing healthy relationships to form properly, inability to perform academically, inability to keep up socially and/cognitively, and anxiety issues may form, along with socioemotional difficulties, and psychological problems may develop. A failure to thrive, substance abuse problems, an inabilities to love one’s self and trust issues may all form due to a lack of a secure attachment being formed.
