OT- Neighbours yelling

[5 Little Monkeys]

Kassiemom, I can understand how it must be hard to hear them yelling all the time but if it's not in anger, calling them names, mean spirited etc, than I fail to see how it is emotional abuse. I agree with lee bee, it's poor communication but not abuse.

I'm not defending yelling at children but I think almost every parent and caregiver has done it at time(s). You are only catching a glimpse into their lives and IMO, making an unfair judgement. If it concerns you, I would befriend the neighbour and/or children and get to know more about them and than decide if actual abuse is happening or not.
