4. Existence abuse where the existence and rights of the child are ignored

    intellectual (education)
    psychological (self-development, self-confidence, self-esteem, maturity)
    behavioural (company, friendship, interpersonal and communication skills, relationships)

  • ignoring the child as a separate human being and using the child as an extension of one's own existence (as in MSBP, Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy - almost killing the child then rescuing them in a dramatic attention-seeking manner by arriving at hospital casualty at the last minute, then revelling in the adulation of the concerned mother who nearly lost her child)
  • abandonment
