How do I get my mother to stop beating me?

Question

I try everything I can but I just can never live up to her standards. Every time she comes home I run into my closet. I dont know what to do, can some one help me?!

Answer 1

Difficult question...I dont think ther is any one who can tell you waht to do, call the police can be an easy option but it must be really hard for anyone...Well i live in Spain and i cant do much to help you from here...But in here u have a friend, and try to look for people around you who are not like your mother, there must be nice people around. And whenever you can, leave her and forget her, she doesnt deserve a second of you thinking of her...
As we say in Spain there is no bad situation that lasts for
hundred years.
well i really hope the day will come when you are going to be completely happy...big kiss from here
I see in here a lot of people talking about god and love and helping each other and stuff but when someone asks for help u just say call the police!!!!

Answer 2

Definitely call the cops or tell your teacher and if that doesn't work go straight to the nearest emergency room and tell a doctor or a nurse. They or a teacher have to do something: it's the law.

AND especially you should do this:

Call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) then push 1 to talk to a counselor.

The Hotline counselors are there 365 days a year to help kids, and adults who are worried about kids they suspect are being abused. You can call this number if you live in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The call is free and anonymous. (The Hotline counselors don't know who you are and you don't have to tell them.) There won't be a charge for the call on your telephone bill if you use a regular phone or a pay phone. If you use a mobile phone or cell phone, there may be a charge and it may show up on the telephone bill. Don't use a mobile or cell phone if you want to be sure your call is a secret. But please...do not make prank calls to the Hotline. This will tie up the phones and keep us from talking to someone who really needs help right away.

Answer 3

I used to run to the bathroom to hide whenever my father came home, for exactly the same reasons as you. I should've called the cops, but never did.

You have two options: you can grin and bear it (what I did), get messed up in the head, struggle for a few years with hoards of issues (my dad did more than just beat me...and I don't mean anything sexual), and then, if you're lucky, come out on top a stronger person for the experience. You'll be overly-mature for your age, though, and won't really fit in with those around you. Personally, I don't mind that aspect.

*Or*

You can avoid all the very-hard-learned lessons and just end it now by calling the police.

Answer 4

Report this information to someone you trust - a counselor, a teacher, a paster or priest, etc. Or you may call and make an anonymous report to Child Protective Services. They will come out and evaluate the situation and the circumstances. Be prepared for a body examination, as they are looking for proof of physical abuse.

Answer 5

My mom used to hit me (I'm 46 now), slap me, pull my hair. I pulled away from her once, so her punch missed me. She got even madder, and I started to run away. I thought she was gonna kill me. Ran into my room, slammed the door and locked it.

Then BOOOOM! She'd kicked the door and broke the lock! But she never came in.

A later time, she went to hit me, and I pushed her. By that time I outweighed her. She never hit me again, but started to threaten to send me to a 'girl's home.'

After many threats of this, finally I just said 'Fine, I'll go pack my bags.' And I did. Then I sat on my bed waiting, figuring she was making calls, getting it set up. I sat. And sat. And sat.

Finally I walked out of my room, and all the lights in the house were off. She'd gone to bed.

I moved out soon after that.

I'm sorry your mom hits you. I'd bet all I own that she was hit while growing up. She learned that's what you do, and she hasn't matured enough to question her beliefs.

Talk to a school counselor. A trusted friend. Read a great book called LOVING WHAT IS by Byron Katie.

Your mom doesn't love herself. She beats herself up inside way more than she beats you.

I love myself these days. I survived, and it's kinda cool to know I can rise above such adversity. I honor that you're asking for help with this. Know this, it's not you. It is NOT about you. She'd do it to whoever was in your position.

My email is [e-mail] if you want to talk more about this.

Answer 6

You need to talk to your local family and child services. If you do this you need to be prepared for counseling and possibly having to live in a foster home. Go to the police if you want your mother to go to jail, actually if it's serious enough she might go anyway. Do you have any family members to talk to or stay with and can help you. It's a scary thing to turn in your parents for abuse. But it is abuse and you don't have to live with it. It's not right for her to beat you for any reason, even if she thinks you deserve it. If she leaves marks or bruises take pictures, because family and child services will want to see them. Good luck

Answer 7

Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline/Voices for Children
1-800-4ACHILD or 1-800-422-4453
TDD: 1-800-2A-CHILD.

Abuse is not acceptable and there is protection for you if you are brave enough to take that step in speaking out.
All the best

Answer 8

Your mother is out of control. It's time for you to tell a friend's parents, an adult relative, or a favorite teacher or school counselor. Your mom's behavior is inexcusable. You can also go to the nearest YWCA or YMCA to get help. Whatever you do, tell someone NOW...even if it's the neighbor next door. Get out now.

Answer 9

Does she have a drinking or drug problem? What form of beating are you talking about. A spanking or a real beating? You need to call social services as soon as possible. Good luck.

Answer 10

Well, if she's actually beating you and not spanking you, then you need to go to the police. That's child abuse and illegal. If you don't feel you can go to the police, go to the guidance counselor at your school about the problem and can tell you what exactly you need to do besides contacting the police.
