In response to "They have food, shelter, clothes, toys, and are not hit. I'm sure CPS has more important things to worry about. " by Dano

there is a level of neglect there, at least - I didn't see anyone ask: have you talked with the parents about it? your mom?

we bathe regularly for good health/hygiene reasons, and the lack of that stood out to me from what you shared.

and here's the usual def. of emotional abuse:

specific definitions of emotional abuse or mental injury to a child.10 Typical language used in these definitions is "injury to the psychological capacity or emotional stability of the child as evidenced by an observable or substantial change in behavior, emotional response, or cognition," or as evidenced by "anxiety, depression, withdrawal, or aggressive behavior."

if kids aren't being given what's needed for them to grow and thrive mentally, that's a thing.

I do it myself a lot, but I know that comparing situations to worse ones isn't always a good thing.
