Abstract
Emotional abuse of children is a subtype of maltreatment and is very common in the 21st century. Although, it is very difficult, scientists and health professionals can detect all the risk factors and identify the perpetrators. The consequences of emotional abuse on the child may vary according to its nature and severity. Emotional abuse may result in greater susceptibility to life-long social and cognitive impairments and to health risk behaviors. Governments, health professionals and well-updated parents are ultimately responsible for the protection of children.
