Child Abuse Legal Concerns
Summary
Physical abuse, such as hitting or punching, is illegal and considered child abuse. Delaying medical care for a broken arm may also constitute child neglect. Verbal abuse, when combined with physical harm and neglect, raises significant legal and safety concerns. If you feel unsafe, contact a trusted adult, Child Protective Services, or the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453. You may also consult a local attorney for legal guidance.Full Conversation
My father calls his kids those two idiots
It seems like there may have been a misunderstanding or humorous context in the response. Could you clarify if you have a specific legal question or concern you'd like assistance with?
One time my dad said" imagine if David was a twin we would be all set." Even though he has * three children me and Dale and David. He also said that me and Dale have no value. My father said they have no value.
If you're asking about potential legal concerns, this situation doesn't appear to involve a legal violation unless your father’s statements are connected to other harmful actions, like emotional abuse, financial harm, or other mistreatment. Let me know if you have a legal question or need more guidance.
