Early childhood emotional abuse
Although emotional abuse hurts just as much as physical abuse, it can be harder to identify. The marks are left on the inside, and small infants are too young to report the abuse themselves. This child abuse could come in the form of constant yelling, lack of physical contact or emotional distance, and can cause long-lasting effects. Find programs and services dedicated to supporting children in Stark County who are struggling with emotional abuse.
