Parental Threats And Abuse

Summary

Verbal or emotional abuse, including threats to send a child to boot camp or a mental hospital, can be considered child abuse in South Carolina. Forcing a child to participate in activities they dislike isnt illegal but can be distressing. Physical harm that leaves a mark, such as being grabbed and bruised, can be considered child abuse. If a parent knowingly allows another adult to harm a child, it could be considered neglect. For emancipation, you must be at least 16 and demonstrate your ability to manage personal and financial affairs. Parental objection to employment may be considered. If youre under 18, your parent or guardian has a say in your employment unless youre emancipated. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
