I don't know what the exact name for this type of abuse is, but here are some examples I have seen or heard of:
-Ear piercing of infants (I have seen babies just a few months old with multiple piercings in each ear, done for their parent's ego satisfaction, most commonly done among Mexicans and Latin Americans)
-Female genital mutilation (commonly done among women from Africa or who belong to the Islamic religion; the justification is that if a woman's clitoris is cut off, she won't stray from her husband because she can no longer have pleasure from sex)
-Tattoos on minors (people under age 18; usually done by relatives or friends of the family, because the type of scarring called tattoos is illegal to perform on minors in many places)

Is the right name for this 'Body Modification Abuse,' Physical Mutilation,' or something else like that?

Just wanted to say that "Protection from harm" can be a really big deal for a child. It wasn't until I was much older that it ever occurred to me how my parents had failed me so completely in this area. I had terrible experiences outside of the home and somehow these were always my responsibility to deal with. I can see now how deeply wrong that was.

What is not done can be severely damaging to a child, they need the protection of the adults in their lives. Without a safe environment, children grow up with fear as the guiding force in everything they do...then retain this emotional bias all their lives.

Thanks for posting all these, it's helping me see how wrong my childhood was, and why I was always so "odd" as an adult.

Endangerment of a child is also abuse. For example, sending a 4 year old outside to play without supervision in a non-contained area (no fence) or allowing a small child to swim unattended. Also, taking a child to a drug-deal, to turn tricks, or another criminal act.

Indirect Abuse Examples
-Parents loudly arguing and fighting while the children are forced to listen, even if the children are in another part of the house.
-Parents physically abusing each other or one parent physically abusing the other in a child's presence
-Abuse of a family pet
-A parent abusing a brother or sister of a child

Not sure if this was already somehow mentioned, but in cases where divorce or separation is involved, feeding your child bad information about the other parent.

Don't know if this was already covered but forcing a child to clean their room than if it isn't perfect, parent tearing it apart and making them redo it. Also, locking them out in the snow with no shoes or coat for short periods of time.

making a child dress in clothing of the opposite sex and then make them go outside dressed that way as a form of punishment
forcing a child to eat until they become sick
forcing a child to drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs

StephApparently, you are right. It is often true that after a divorce or separation, one parent will assassinate the character of the other parent. My mother told us many lies about my father, and then one day I saw a book she was reading, and I realized her latest lie was from the plot of that book. She claimed my father had found a dead soldier on a battlefield and had taken his dog tags and claimed the identity of the dead soldier; another time, she claimed that my father had been out in a boat with another man when that man fell overboard, got caught in the boat propeller, and was killed; then my father took over the dead man's life. And those are just two examples of the many lies my mother told us children about our father. Thinking back, I've decided that pretty much everything she said about my father was a lie, and none of what she said can be believed. Gee, how I wish I had normal parents.

This might fall under "forcing a child to fulfill a parent's emotional or physical needs", but I'm going to add forced affection.

Just my personal example:
My mother made no attempt to create an actual bond between us, but she demanded all of the benefits. When she dropped me off at school, she demanded a kiss on the cheek and a hug. If I didn't give it to her, she stared at me like I had just stabbed her. If I said that I just didn't feel close enough to hug her or anything like that, she would explain to me that she didn't beat me and that her own parents never showed her any physical affection. If I had a problem and talked to a friend over the phone, she would demand to know what the problem was. She didn't have a good track record for appropriate reactions, so I didn't ever feel it was safe to fill her in on anything going on in my life. She would get emotional and DEMAND to know all my secrets because she was my mother. If I said I didn't feel close enough to her to share them, she would try to guilt me. She would tell me about how her own parents didn't have 1 on 1's with her because she had so many siblings and they were busy anyway. She behaved more like a bratty sister going on and on about how I tell my friends things that I don't tell her. She felt it was her right to be a confidant.

Living in a family that did not speak to you, spoke around you, looked over, around or above you until you learned you were invisible. Being told throughout your lifetime 'you don't remember that', 'you remember wrong', 'you don't remember things'. Not being allowed to talk. Having an older brother enjoy terrifying you as his favorite hobby and mom laughing along with the other siblings at his entertaining antics. Seeing disgust and repulsion in your mothers eyes at the age of 3 when you complained that your 'private area' hurt could you put medicine on it. Being told that the time you walked into the kitchen undressed, having been unable to dress yourself at 3, was the proof that you were always 'sick' and 'that way' (sexually deviant). Knowing they acted that way because the precious, valuable and beloved adolescent son used you, who was 7 years younger, as a sexual prop for his self discovery, and he was too wonderful to be blamed for wrongdoing. The moment of realization at the age of 5 that you had no value being permanently etched in your mind. Not being allowed to grieve for your father because , after all, she was the one who lost her husband and didn't want to talk about it. Never, ever being hugged or held. Being kissed 3 times by your mother, always on New Years out of tradition. Not hearing praise once from your mother. Learning as a teen to stop fighting and just remain invisible. Having this attitude be taught to my children later by my mother. Having her last words to you on her deathbed be scathingly nasty and hateful.

Munchausen Abuse, or child abuse by Munchausen, perhaps?. It must be especially hard finding someone to share your awful memories with since it's not too many who have lived this horrible experience. You have my sympathy.

Emotional Manipulation,
Hoarding, seemingly to cause the children to feel shamed.

Emotional incest. Its hard to define but I see it between my husband and my MIL. She was involved in abusive relationships and my husband ended up being depended on way too much. Its disgusting.
