he must be very sad and more for his only 8 years
they have to take care inmediately of this, because maybe he can have more problems in a bigger age.
you have this great opportunity to help him.
first make friends with him
then if things get serious call the police or try to investigate about services or something where they can do somthing for that boy.
dont leave him ..

Perhaps if you know the school he goes to, talking to the principal will yield good ideas. They know the best routes to go on this stuff.

Emotional abuse is just as bad as psyical and in some cases much worse.
Dont be feel bad and call the NSPCC. They have had a campaign about neighbours watching out and aleting them if they believe theres a problem. They will deal with it from there.
