Violent, abusive behaviour is conduct that emotionally harms children, and as such has been recognized by six provinces in Canada in their child protection acts—the provinces of Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta—and is now also being recognized by our own Ministry for Children and Families, which does see the harm of children witnessing violence, whether they are being physically abused or not.
