A member asked:
If an older sibling routinely beats up a younger sibling then is it called child abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be: More frequently, there may be a concern that the parents are not adequately supervising the children and may be charged with neglect. It is the parent's responsibility to make sure that the children are in a safe environment. The older child may need some behavior therapy to change his behavior, but the parents bear the responsibility.
