I have 2 younger sisters and an older brother. Both of my parents physically abuse us, and every day, at least one of us cries. They hit us for anything, test scores lower than a B, missing homework, spilling something, breaking something, and not obeying them. Anything they can reach they grab it and hit us with it, and if there's nothing, they use their fists and feet. They've used spatulas, drumsticks, metal trashcans, wooden sandals, stools, and countless others. They've left bruises on me that lasted weeks, and I've even told my friends, but they don't seem to care. At my high school, they give out folders with Child Abuse Hotlines, but my parents have threatened us that if they get arrested, we'll become orphans and live on the streets. They are "pastors," and they justify their actions with Proverbs 13:24, 22:15, and 23:13. Please, I know that you guys probably can't do anything to help, so I just want to know, is it true? Will we really just be left alone with no guardians?
