In most states, corporal punishment administered by a parent that doesn't leave a bruise is generally permissable.
Locking a child inside or outside, however, may not be permissable, depending on the circumstances.
An option is to contact the local child protective services office, and ask if they can refer you for services that will help you and your dad resolve your problems without resorting to such drastic measures. If you show a willingness to work with your dad (requesting services) rather than against him (reporting him for abuse), then things may work out better.

It depends on your age. If you're 18 move out. If you report it the result most likely would be that you would be put into foster care and they couldn't do anything about your dad.
If you can't talk it out with your dad and stepmom you just have to live with it till your old enough to leave or find another relative that will take you in.
Foster care can be worse than what you now have.
Maybe if you adjust your behavior you can keep things more peaceful at home. If you can't change his attitude you can change your own.

I don't think that any person deserves to be spanked let alone with a belt. The cops will not do anything unless marks are left on you because they can deem it corrective discipline, sorry. There are alot of people that will scream abuse when in fact its not although I am not saying this is your situation so for cops to become involved when no marks are left on the body is very complicated. As for your step mom, she is regardless of your views since your biological mother has passed and can not speak up for you the one that should be. I have a step daughter my husband and I do NOT ever hit her but when her biological mother does bet your *** if my husband doesnt get to her first I do. Just because I am a step mom doesnt mean I cant speak up for a child who really has no voice. Your step mom should speak up, because when she married your dad she took on the responsibility of you too and if she feels what he is doing is wrong she needs to speak up not let it keep going on. Because maybe your father isnt aware that he is "over doing it"

If a belt was the answer we would not need prisons. If you have tried talking to him without any change I would suggest you try talking to a teacher or some one you feel comfortable with at school as a starting point to help you get this stopped. This could effect you in the future on how you end up dealing with your children GOOD LUCK.

Report his dad. A 11 years old boy in Brazil, reported his mother to the police, because she would beat him. She ended up in jail and than realized that what she was doing were not right and make friend with her son.

talk to your dad ask him not to ABUSE YOU anymore
tell him it hurts you
Ask him what you can do to do what he wants.
And could he find a new way to punish you other that hitting you...
let him know you will never forget he hit you with a belt
and that when you get older you might not want to see him again.
He may think about what you have said..if you cannot talk to him...give him a note or tell your mom to tell him.

He's probably not going to ever change. Of course you can report him and if there are marks he can be taken away and/or you too. You dont deserve this and I hope you get support.

i imagine abdomen earrings will be lovable. It purely relies upon on who's donning the tummy ring. they provide the effect of being reliable on women and women who don't have large bellies for one element. yet another element is older women do not seem as reliable with them both.

umm, it hard because maybe he is trying to tell you that he needs you to straighten up and do what you are told, but if it is so bad that even your step mom feels like she cant say anything to him cause maybe he beats her too, i would turn him in, no one deserves that and no matter what anyone tells you no it is not ok for him to do that to you. please tell someone. it can really damage you if you hold it all in. please be careful and say something to someone.
good luck
