Depending on your age, if you were mouthing off and being very disrespectful, and your mom slapped you, GO MOM! Or if she found out you had done something scandalous, and slapped you, GO MOM! However, if this is an ongoing problem, and she hits you for every offense, or every time she is annoyed, then that is abuse! It is not abuse for a parent to use corporal punishment if there are not weapons used, and she is not leaving you with marks. And coming from a mom who has kids who occassionally get spanked, if this is a one time incident, you will ruin your whole life if you report it, not to mention you may never get to see your family again, even if your allegations are found groundless. I am sure you know, even if you are angry and want to get even, whether there is a real risk of her killing you, or if she just yelled at you in anger that she is so mad she could kill you!!! There is a big difference between that and threatening your life. If you get into the system, you will never get out, and your relationship with your mother will forever be dissolved. Take it from someone who was a foster child.

If you feel as though your safety is in danger, then you should certainly contact child services about it.
If you think she was not being serious and was merely blowing off steam, I wouldn't worry too much.
It's really up to you to decide whether you think she would actually hurt you. If you think she would, absolutely take whatever steps necessary to protect yourself.
A parent has certain rights to strike a child, but it only extends so far. If she slapped you once for being a rotten brat, she is within her rights. If she beat you, left bruises, or does this on a regular basis without justification, she is abusive and needs to be held accountable, and you need to find protection for yourself.

Who is S.S? I think you should tell some one that you can trust and that will look out for you.
Watch your back and take care

I think that your trying to say your mom hit you and threatned to kill you if you told social services. Yes, if you don't know where to go, go to any police station and explain the story. Tell them you don't want to go home with her and they will place you in foster care or with other family while this is all sorted out...good luck.

Absolutely. Dont take that lightly is she hits you she is capable of anything. You need to be in a home where you will be loved, safe and not smacked around. No on deserves treatment like that no one. You need to stand up for yourself and make a statement by reporting her.

You should definitely tell someone about it. If there's another adult you trust, tell them and get them to take you to the police so you can tell them. If the S.S. is the police where you live, then yes tell them.

I don't get the question, your mum hit you and threatened to kill you while you were hiking? - tell the social services.

everyone blows up. it depends on if this is the first time and how often this kind of thing happens. If she was serious, if she left a mark, if she didnt apologize....if two or more of those things are true then I say yes, but its your mom and its also your safety so go with your gut, and God bless. You are in my prayers!

Please pay attention to this.
There is violence in many families, some a LOT worse than others.
In ALL cases, however, threats and violence like hitting are a sign of loss of control and lack of anger management,--- but even worse, they CAN indicate that things are going to get a lot worse in the near future.
Please Talk to someone at SS as soon as you can, she may in fact need HELP and counselling.
