My boyfriends brother's girlfriend has an 11 year old daughter who's been acting out at school and home to get attention because she feels her 2 year old sister gets too much attention. She came over yesterday and was talking to me about things that she does and things that bother her. She was telling me things that disturbed me.She was little she was in foster care and her foster father use to touch her. She also made a comment that her mother doesn't care that she's around or not. Her mother's way of dealing with her is threatening her or just down out right beating her. Her mother has beat this child with extension cords, belts, bats whatever she grabs at the time. I've tried telling her mother that she needs to sit and talk to the child and not beat the hell out of her. The response I got was my parents beat the hell out of me back in the day. I've tried talking to my boyfriend but all he sees is the child acting out. What should I do or could I do to help her?

Her father isn't in the picture because he's currently in jail. For what I'm not sure but she has not interaction with her father or his side of her family. Her mother's family is on drugs and she doesn't have dealing with them. She needs to have family interaction.

You can secretly call CPS on the lady because she is hurting that little girl and it sounds like she's gone thru enough. You must do something for her you can't just turn your head. I was abused as a child and now that I have grown up I wish someone would have helped me; it would have saved a lot of heart ache. What's happening to her now is it is not only physically hurting her; but its emotionally damaging her forever. It will affect who she is when she grows up. Ask that mother who hits her child how she feels about the parents who hit her. Does she resent her parents?Does she even have a relationship with them? If not tell her that her relationship will probbly not exist if she keeps hitting her.

The mother obviously has some issues regarding her childhood that she should address. Since "my parents beat the hell out of me back in the day" was the response, she is doing nothing more than taking her anger out on a defenseless eleven year old child. Children are blessings and should be treated as such. Beatings can not only cause physical damage, but emotional damage as well. Report the mother and save this child's future!

If the mother is beating the child then you need to turn her in so that hate mother and the child can get the help that is so desperately needed in this family. If you turn them into social services it is anonymous and no-one will have to know you did it. For that little girls safety and maybe her life you need to make that call NOW!!!

Listen and talk to her. Show her you care about her bc obviously it seems no one else has shown her that love or affection and somebody needs to before she goes out looking for it in the wrong places bc she will. Get her active and involved in a hobby or things that she finds interesting. THat will turn her around and her dad wiill start to notice as well.

call CPS. please. i wish someone took the effort to call CPS when i was young. I cannot tolerate the abuse at any level. i even reported my ex for spanking my oldest with a belt a few weeks ago. CPS got involved and i took my ex to court. i do not tolerate child abuse on any level. i grew up this way. to this day, my mother still refuses to accept she did anything wrong. i do not need to spank my children. assaulting any child is a problem parents need to learn is unacceptable.

Contact social services and tell them what the child told you. She needs to get pulled out of this family, or they will end up killing her. The little sister needs to be pulled out too.
Good luck to you
