The View of Prevention Advocates on the Alec Baldwin Verbal Abuse Case

Maybe if we stopped allowing partners to abuse us with words and neglect, we would have a better chance that it would not extend to our kids.

The View of Prevention Advocates on the Alec Baldwin Verbal Abuse Case: "Emotional abuse - which can involve belittling, criticizing, and ignoring - is child abuse, plain and simple. Even divorced parents need to work together to make sure their children are protected from it. Emotional abuse can happen when a parent is under stress and does not know how to properly manage that stress;"
