I thought about that...but it's almost as broad a topic as emotional abuse. The four main types of maltreatment are emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and physical abuse, so I probably need to be more specific than any of these. Maybe I could focus on blended families or single-parent families or something like that?

Angie, maybe use an age category, say 5 to 7 or 8 to 10, and like Cindy said, place yourself in the child's "point of view" it will make it easier.

A possibility I came up with is "Is it abuse if parents smoke in their own home?"
We know the dangers of second hand smoke, but it's not illegal... so could make for interesting debate with yourself.

That's a good and tricky one Tink. I'm sure Angie could make a really good argument with that topic.
My previous idea was also emotional abuse, like only in the home. So many children are treated so poorly in their own home, but you'd never believe it the way their parents make over them in public.

What about the effects of lack of discipline in children? We have a lot of undisciplined kids in our society. My daughter works at the middle school and they have had a big ordeal with a child that is undisciplined and his parents.
