@ijbailey Don't you think the situations you're describing have as much to do with the relationship children have with primary caregivers as with words? A parent can do tremendous damage to a kid over time with mere words; a stranger could say the same words with no effect at all. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey RE "very similarly to physical violence" I disagree. I don't deny rare, extreme physical reactions to words, but words don't in fact function similarly to bullets or knives. Your claim depends on comparing the most extreme words to the least extreme physical acts. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey I agree that verbal abuse by caregivers can cause tremendous harm, including physiological harm, to a child. — PolitiTweet.org
