I'm going to tell you a story about my sister and nephew. My nephew at the time was 12. He didn't behave very well and smarted off to his mama often. She tried reasoning with him and nothing seemed to make him stop. He was rebelling at an early age. My sister who did not believe in physical discipline had never even spanked him. One night the disrespect was so blatant and hurtful that my sister slapped her son. As my sister sat in her living room disgusted with her my nephew took the cordless into the bathroom and dialed 911. The police came and after they got the facts from my nephew and sister the police gave my nephew a good scolding. There is a difference between discipline and beating. I hope you're smart enough to know the difference. When you are a young child your mind is still maturing. Your parents are there to guide you. I pray you show respect and obey them. If they are truly out of line then yes by all means tell someone. A good person to tell is a school counselor. Since it is summer time I would tell a friends parent. They should be able to get things moving in the right direction without you being "the cause" and therefore your mom would have less to blame you for. Good Luck Kiddo. Just really think long and hard.... Does your mom want the best for you and is she trying to teach you right from wrong? Or is she a monster that can't control her temper and takes her frustrations out on you?

Please do not report your mother just for a chance to "get even with her".
If you have offended her and therefore provoked her to strike you,please try and think about what you do that pushes her buttons and try not to do it anymore.She's a person too,you know,and no one in her right mind really wants to injure her own child.
But if she's on drugs or alcohol,and is doing these things when she's under the influence,you should go to a respected relation,a grandparent or an aunt or uncle and explain things to them before taking things further.When Child Protection Services get involved in other folks' business,it can get very nasty.
Please don't lie about your mother on a very serious issue as this: the case will be on her records for at least 2 years,she could lose her job ,and if she works in some fields,it would keep her from practicing her profession for life if judged guilty of child abuse.
However,if she's hitting you hard enough to leave visible injuries on you,then you do need help.Just keep it in the family if you can.
Good luck !

Sounds like you may be the one causing the problem to get your mother that mad at you. You don't say how old you are but if you are in your teens you must be saying or doing something wrong and your mother is going about it in the wrong way threatning you. Threats are just words especially coming from a mother. Have you discussed this with your father? You said he is living with you and your mother. Ask them both to sit down and discuss the matter with you and what you can do to keep your mom off your back and settle down to a normal life. Mothers just don't threaten their children unless the children themselves do something terribly wrong. I wish I had a nickle for each time my wife threatened our children (all 7 of them) but never laid a hand on them. Her problem was that she didn't know how to punish other then use her voice. Some times she does manage to hit you? No... I don't think that's child abuse. When is the last time you told your mother that you loved her or gave her a hug? YOU also have to look at yourself and see if your the one causing the problem.

U cant call child abuse unless ur being abused. What r u doing that angers ur mom so much? First of all, i think u might have some issues, saying as how ur name is lil hottie. U might be acting to old for ur age which is upsetting to mothers. She might be afraid of something bad happening with ur life. Try and spend more QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. And dont fight, and if u cant do that, u have got problems. On the other hand, if ur mom has drinking or drug problems, u should call, but i don't know the number. It's called Child Protective Services.

First of all, how old are you and do you just want to stay with your dad?
This is very serious. If you really feel threatened and in danger, then you should go to a safe place. Go to your school counselor or a close friend's parent and let them know your situation. Why haven't you contacted your dad if you feel you are in danger or being abused? Why hasn't your dad contacted anyone in regards to your safety? I would hope that you are not angry with your mother and want to get back at her.
I used to work for Children & Family Services for 12yrs. and if you call in a child abuse report, your mother will be investigated and if they find that you are being abused, they will remove you from your home and place you in foster care until you go to court. Then they will investigate your dad to make sure he is responsible and is able to care for you. If you are serious about your mother abusing you, then I would suggest that you report this matter to someone immediately! If this is just to get your way, this goes on your mother's record for 2yrs. and she may lose her job.
The number for Florida is 1-800-962-2873 if you forget it....
1-800-96-ABUSE. If you're not in Florida, call the number anyway and they can put you in touch with someone in your area or just dial 911.

Okay:
You need marks on you or it's her word against yours.
Does your father live with your mother?
If he doesn't - does he have joint custody OR a legal right to visit you at will?
If this backfires, you'll be in a world of sh!t - because even if she really hurts you, they may not believe you. I sympathize. I almost did what you're thinking about once - but I didn't, because I knew I had nothing.
And foster families, while they can be very loving, it can be the worst nightmare you can ever face also.
TRY and move in with your Dad - THAT'S your best shot.
Otherwise, 911, or (at least in the State of NY - Child Protective Services).
Good luck.

Maybe you are doing something that you shouldn't be doing ? Maybe you deserve it . My brother used to go around and make stories up about how my parents do drugs and are drunks and beat him for no reason. My parents didn't do any of that stuff. My brother should have gotten smacked around a little bit (age 15) He used to beat the crap out of me and my little brothers. He also used to try strangling my dad and mom hitting and kicking both of them. If you are not doing anything though you should call someone. Go and talk to a school counselor. They can help you.

You can call 18004AChild which will get you child help USA (see the previous post) they can counsel you and give you numbers if you did not have it on the previous list and if you like they can help you make a three way call if your nervous calling by yourself
more often than not they will not take you from your mom unless you are adamant you don't want to return (personal experience) and they will place you with your father if that is a safe place for you
Good luck!

If your mom makes you feel that way, yes call someone...they will probably place you with your dad temporarly and investigate your mom and help her by making her take some parenting classes....it'll help you for the best...now I looked online, but don't know which state you're in.
This is the hotline to report child abuse in NY, I'm sure they can give you the number for the office in your state.
1-800-342-3720
call and get help. you shouldn't have to feel that way and your mother should not tell you those things. Good luck.
