Question

If i tell a child that the color red is called blue, and he goes through preschool and the first few years of primary school saying that red is called blue.....is this child abuse?

Answer 1

No, just ignorant and immature.  But something tells me you already knew that answer.

Answer 2

If that is the only inappropriate thing you do, it does not rise to the level of abuse, no.  It's not super friendly, though.

Answer 3

wtf kind of question is that? it's not physical abuse but it's not very nice to do to your child.

Answer 4

No it's called stupidity.

Why would someone do something like that??

Answer 5

N C is right. That child would lose trust in you resulting in developmental delays, behavioral problems etc.

Answer 6

no, just stupidity. on your part.

Answer 7

Why would you want to do something like that to your child? While it may not be physical abuse, it certainly can be classed as emotional abuse! The poor kid will be classed as mentally deficient and it will most likely ruin his chances at receiving a decent education because he will placed in "special" classes, although it sounds as if his chances at becoming educated are already greatly reduced just for the fact that you are one of the primary figures in his life. Not only will he have reduced education possibilities, he will receive a great deal of emotional scarring at the hands of his peers because they will class him as an idiot. Hopefully, this is not your child, and you haven't the capability of having children, because God forbid you actually perpetuate your ignorance and ruin the life of an innocent child.

Answer 8

Actually, it is child abuse. Imagine how your child will feel when he/she learns the truth. You will shake the foundation of trust that is necessary to the child's development. Trust is one of the MOST important things a child needs to have in order to grow into a stable adult.

It appears you have trust issues.

Answer 9

GROW UP! LETS PRAY THIS ISN'T YOUR CHILD!

Answer 10

No, it's not abusive. Stupid and cruel, but not abusive.

Answer 11

why would you ask this thoughtless question of course this is not abuse but  who would teach kids red is blue and messing with there minds like this feel shame of your self

Answer 12

What an idiot. Why put the child through something like that???

Do you find it funny that this kid is going to be thought of as mentally deficient.? Or maybe that he has really dumb parents.
