I want to so much go up the the parent and tell them to stop being so mean. But I know not to do that because from my experience , if you embarrass the parent, they will take it out on the child later. (it has happened to me).

Once I told a parent that I thought she was emotionally abusing a child. We argued for a while but I think it might have made a difference. She had a blank stare like I triggered something in her.

You should speak up when you feel you need to. You are not responsible for "what if" later there's abuse for the kid. Threaten to report to Child Protective Services.
