Yes, verbal abuse can be reportable to Child Protective Services (CPS) in many jurisdictions. While laws and reporting requirements can vary between countries and states, CPS generally exists to protect children from abuse, neglect, and unsafe living conditions. Verbal abuse can be emotionally harmful to children and may fall under the category of emotional abuse or psychological maltreatment, which is considered a form of child abuse in many places.
If you are concerned about the safety and well-being of your children due to verbal abuse, you should consider reporting it to the local CPS or child protection agency in the country where you currently reside. They will assess the situation, investigate if necessary, and take appropriate actions to ensure the children's safety.
When making a report to CPS, it's helpful to provide specific information about the incidents of verbal abuse, any other signs of potential harm to the children, and any evidence you may have (if applicable). Your report can be made confidentially, and in some cases, you can make an anonymous report if you fear retaliation.
Keep in mind that laws and procedures may vary, so it's essential to research the reporting process in the specific country where you are located or seek assistance from a local support organization or helpline that deals with domestic violence and child protection issues.
