I'm not a parent myself, and neither do I have any nieces and nephews yet,
so my experiences with young kids are limited, but I would think if I was
communicating in a certain way, the child would likely pick up anything, and
is likely to use the same vocabulary in other environments.  This is just a
wild guess.  

Thanks,

At the very least I imagine he would be trying to keep the verbal abuse 
hidden.  The little girl wouldn't necessarily tell anyone - if she's 
grown up in this environment she will likely not know that this isn't 
acceptable behaviour, plus people don't always listen (or believe) if 
kids (or adults) disclose abuse, especially if disability is involved.  
There is a lot of denial that goes on.
