It can depend entirely on which jurisdiction or state you live in. Some states have laws against "Curse and Abuse," or "Fighting Words," while others do not and consider such non-physical verbal attacks as a manifestation of "free speech."

∙ 13y ago- Verbal abuse is very difficult to prove as verbal abuse scars the brain and does not leave scars on the body from physical abuse. The victim can tape their abuser without their knowledge, but this is often not admissible in a court of law and the tape should be given to the lawyer to see if it will become admissible. Generally verbal abusers keep their abuse in the sanctity of their home where no one can hear but perhaps family members, but, if the verbal abuser takes the risk of verbally abusing their victim by screaming abuses out in public it is highly possible some member of society will report it.
