Child abuse isn’t always physical abuse

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- When someone hears about child abuse, it’s easy to assume the abuse is physical, but child abuse can also come in the emotional form. Child emotional abuse includes but isn’t limited to verbal assaults, constant belittling, making threats, ignoring the child, providing no love and exposing the child to constant family conflict. Per Air Force Instruction 40-301, "Family Advocacy," all active duty members and civilian employees of the Air Force will report all incidences of suspected family maltreatment to the Family Advocacy Program.
