As per a government survey most of the emotional and physical abuse suffered by children in Indian families is inflicted by mothers. The study released by the women and child development ministry in India says out of the 15,000 child respondents, 50.9 percent children were subjected to physical abuse by their mothers while 37.6 percent faced abuse from their fathers.

According to the study 44.13 percent reported facing humiliation. The report has taken humiliation - referred to as degradation of self-esteem of a child by shouting, belittling, name-calling and using abusive language - as well as comparison with other children as indicators of emotional abuse.

Shockingly, around 44.09 percent reported being humiliated by their mothers and 35.35 by their fathers.

"If put together, almost 89 percent children were subjected to physical abuse by their parents, who have the primary responsibility of protecting their children," said the survey conducted with the support of the Unicef and two NGOs, Save the Child and Prayas.
