Hate to disagree with you here but... yelling at a child is emotional abuse. The State I worked in, Oregon, would have interviewed the child do determine what was conveyed in the "rant." They'd want to know the level of emotional abuse. Once they made a determination of that they'd decide what steps to take next. Likely some anger management course and some parenting class.
I find it interesting the Ex didn't move to restrict any visitation with the other child involved. Makes me think she's playing games to at least some degree.
Again don't know all the facts so can't say.
