Would you consider that child abuse?In your opinion, is it wrong for a parent to cuss at a child to make them behave?
Verbal abuse, maybe. Cussing at a child won't teach them to behave. That has to be done with real words and true explanations.In your opinion, is it wrong for a parent to cuss at a child to make them behave?
yeah it is! its wrong becuz when i was little and sometimes now my parents especially dad cuss at me! my mom feels bad becuz shes fragile but can get really mad and stuff but my dad makes me feel really bad when he cusses at me!
Report Abuse
I dont think its very positive. Why would a parent have to curse to get their point across?
words are words, it depends on the way they are used. I would consider it abuse if the parent is using words to insult and hurt the child, like ';you're so fu(kin stupid';, but see it's not the f-word that makes that abusive, it's the stupid part. I don't think using curse words around a child is right, but I don't think it's abuse either.
YES! I think that you should discipline your children in a calm and collective manner or else they will FEAR you not RESPECT you. When you cuss, that shows that you have reached a boiling point and your true POINT will never come across to a child in fear.
It is absolutely wrong! I don't know if I'd deem it child abuse, but it is definitely setting a bad example. If a child grows up hearing you cuss at/around him/her, how are you supposed to stop them from saying bad words too? In my family, we grew up even thinking ';shut up'; was a bad word, because that's how seldom we heard bad language, and it was never directed at us if one of our parents accidentally ';let one fly.';
It's wrong to curse anywhere, the influence on a child
makes it worse-- I regard it as abuse.
I don't know if I'd call it child abuse, but I definately think there is no reason at all to cuss at or around children.
Cussing at them wont teach them discipline but it will teach them to cuss themselves. Kids are like a sponge, they repeat what they hear at home.
As for child abuse, yes and no. Depending how it is used.
I would say it is wrong and is verbal abuse. How is it someone cusses at their child and then punishes them when the child cusses? Where to you think they learn it?
Sad.
Of course it's wrong and abusive and has no effect at all on ';making'; a child behave. It has more to do with the parent than the child.
I think that cussing is abusive to all who hear it, and if a person cusses at their child then they are teaching their child to do the same. If you can't control your tongue, then how are you going to train your child??
Verbal abuse if its used against a child. Like if they say f*** you you b****! then its verbal abuse. If its used like Watch your d*** mouth then its just a word. Either way I don't think parents should use those words around their young children (younger than 12). It sets a bad example.
it's wrong, it just teaches them to solve their problems that way and lowers they self image and worth. It's humiliating and an adult that cursed at a child is a bully. Children need to be told what they did wrong if it is to be changed.
When a parent is so frustrated with a child that s/he resorts to cussing, then s/he is being an ineffective parent. It's best to send the child to another room until the parent is calm enough to disipline the child without cussing.
Cussing will not teach a child anything but to cuss themselves. Dependnig on what was said it could be considered verbal and/or emotional abuse.
yes verbal abuse. a child should never be cussed at thats awful. Plus they have minds like a sponge so if you cuss thats going to be the next thing out of the kids mouth.
It is already abuse. It's verbal abuse.
Yes it is wrong to cuss a child, it teaches the kids that those words are ok to say as well. I was at a friends house the other night when her 2 year old daughter threw a toy, her 3 year old brother went over spanked her on the butt and said ';Mommy I beat sissies @ss.';
I don't know bout child abuse, I guess it depends on the situation.
Yes, it is wrong and yes, it is possible child abuse in some cases.
it depend on alot of things. like the context of the cuss word. if you say ';sit your @ss down';, thats not bad, if you say ';you are a dumb @ss'; thats bad. as long as you are not down grading your child then of course that is verbal abuse. also you have to consider the parent, if you use cussing all the time, and it's just a normal thing for you, then its just a normal thing for you to say something with a cuss word in it when you get mad at the kid. if you are a parent who makes a point never to cuss in front of your kids then i think it's a little worse, because then it can really hurt there feelings.
my parents were never like oh don't cuss around the kid. i can tell you from personal expeirence, that my parents have said things like ';What the he!l are you doing'; and stuff along those lines and it made no differents if they would have left the bad word out.
Cursing at a child is child abuse? HELL NO! If anything, child abuse is physically attacking your child with brute force with anything that is deemed too excessive! If you beat your child with a brick, that is considered child abuse in the physical sense! If you constantly tell your child that he/she is the dumbest person alive and that he/she will never amount to anything, that is mental abuse! Cursing out your child to make them behave is not child abuse! Some of these kids are so out of control you are sometimes left without a choice of what to do next!
When it comes to children, this is how it goes with them for 18 years of your life:
You spend the first two years teaching the child to walk and talk, then you spend the next 16 telling the child to ';Sit down and shut the f--k up!';
whats cussing? swearing?
oh yeah its wrong, hurts the child and the parent.
yes, it is wrong. Child abuse? well, yes.
Yes, it's wrong to cuss a child to make them behave. It is considered verbal abuse.
