Technically, it is NOT verbal abuse.

.

""Verbal abuse (also known as reviling) is described as a negative defining statement told to the victim or about the victim, or by withholding any response, thereby defining the target as non-existent. If the abuser does not immediately apologize and
retract the defining statement, the relationship may be a verbally abusive one.""

.

Threatening a child with punishment is NOT verbal abuse, no matter the tone of the threat. Nor is verbal abuse a crime either, at least here in the United States. If it were, then we could NOT build enough jails to hold everyone.

You also state is considered assault...IT IS NOT....

.

""The act required for an assault must be overt.
Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat. A mere threat to harm is not an assault; however, a threat combined
with a raised fist might be sufficient if it causes a reasonable apprehension of harm in the victim""

.

Did you SEE the person with a raised hand, or a gesture that would be considered threatening...NO you didnt. You only HEARD the threat. And perhaps the guy apologised to his child later..YOU DONT KNOW!

.

Perhaps you should learn a little about the law before trying to speak on it.
And perhaps you should mind your own business when it come to how people decide to raise their children until you actually SEE some kind of abuse.

How about verbal abuse? Not a crime? That's considered assault when it comes to physical threats in some states. Why would anyone not want this at least investigated?

Furthermore, the reason that this is serious is because of the effects it can have on individuals.

“emotional and verbal abuse can have short-term and long-lasting effects that are just as serious as the effects of physical abuse. Emotional and verbal abuse includes insults and attempts to scare, isolate, or control you. It is also often a sign
that physical abuse may follow. Emotional and verbal abuse may also continue if physical abuse starts. If you have been abused, it is never your fault.” -womenshealth.gov

You won't get any feedback on the complaint. Set your son's account to where he can only hear and talk to those people on his friend's list. You can set it up this way on your system settings on your xbox when your son is logged in. It
helps a ton to avoid things like this.
