ill meet you half way so you actually do some of the work, ill give you some examples and you can find the actual parts in the book and get the quotes, its a pretty short book so it shouldnt be so hard. the parents never actually physically abuse the children, there was one spanking incident but a spanking isnt abuse, they never physically harm the kids though. but they do neglect the children to the point that it causes them physical harm. for example, they let her cook hot dogs by herself when shes three years old, leading to her getting set on fire, they then neglect to bring her brother to the hospital after a severe head injury, they dont use seatbelt or car seats so they have the kids holding the baby in the car and there was the incident where the door opened and she fell out of the car while it was in motion. they neglect to provide food and clothing and a place to bath for the children in several parts of the book. as for emotional abuse, the father chases the pregnant mother with his car, threatening to run her over, with the children watching, they constantly call each other names, they often leave the children, who are obviously not old enough to care for themselves, alone for large amounts of time, the father is always moving the family around because he gets in trouble with the law instead of getting a job, the mother will buy art supplies instead of food for the kids, the father spends all of the money on beer, the father takes her young brother with him to go visit a prostitute on the brothers birthday, and the parents fail to protect the brother from sexual abuse by his grandmother when they know it is occurring.
