Parental favoritism is considered child abuse because it leaves lasting psychological scars on a child/teenager that carry with them through to their adult lives. Most children who were not the favored one suffer from feelings of inadequacy, depression, suicidal ideation, and just a general sense of not being able to live up to anyone's standards. It can also destroy sibling bonds as the child who wasn't favored ends up resenting the child who was, and there is also a lot of anger and resentment towards the parents as well as in life. Just like other forms of abuse, it can actually cycle and go through generations as the abused child tries to work through their own feelings and goes as far as to project it on to their own children or even co-workers, friends, and other people outside the family dynamic. Unfavored children also tend to be more negative in life and VERY critical of others.

Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence.
