Help. Child Abuse?

Question

I am 14 and I live with my aunt. She is very mean. When ever I tell her my problems or what I like and don't like, she says she does not care. When I say sompthing she does not like, she says I am an A** hole, crazy son of a b----, or other names that I do not like. She hits me and my brother in the face, for no reason (sometimes) and we are usually not aloud out of the house, on the phone, or to eat what we want, when we are not hungry.

I am thinking of telling my BM, but usually when I tell her, she does not care about it. That is probably why she sent me off to live with her.

Any thing I can do? Help~~~

Answer 1

Is there any other family member you could live with? If not, the only other alternative is to call a child protective agency who will put you in the foster care system. Another possible alternative: do you have any friends with a stable home? Talk to their parents about your situation. It might be possible to live with a friend. Talk to a school guidance couselor would probably know better what options you have since it would be their job to know.

Answer 2

Oh goodness, I am so sorry about the situation you are currently in. It is so sad when anyone (especially a child) is mistreated in any way. God bless you...

In answer to your question, yes.. the way she is treating you, is absolutely abuse. There is no reason you (or anyone else for that matter) should have to go on living in such an awful situation.

Contact your local Child Protective Service office, and tell them the details of your situation. I'm sure there is something that they can do for you, to help you get away from such an awful environment. Also, if I were you, I would go ahead and talk to the Police about it as well, so that they can make sure to have it looked into.

Nobody deserves to be mistreated, and I hope that you can get the help you need.. so you can get into a safer, and more loving environment.

I'll be keeping you in my prayers.

Merry Chistmas & God bless you!

Answer 3

You have done a brave thing by asking about this.
The answer is yes it is child abuse. Contact any adult who will listen and keep talking until you get someone anyone to pay attention.
Do this not only for yourself but for your brother.
If you cannot call the police right now, walk out of the house and go directly to a neighbor or the grocery store, any place that you have hope they will not return you to your aunts, and do not take no for an answer.
Prayers are being said for you and your brother right now.
God Bless and I hope this will be resolved swiftly.

Answer 4

I have been through this before where either no one believed you, or they just didnt care when i was a kid.
I am now 26 years old and have a little more knowledge on what to do if you are in the situation that you are in.
Seriously call Childrens Aid they can tell your Aunt what is allowed and what isnt by law and that you have rights and then they will probibly warn her and she might change her attitude

Answer 5

Yes, you are being abused - verbally, emotionally and physically.

Do you have an adult in your life who you trust? Like a teacher, a preist or an older relative? Tell them - and ask them to make a report to the Administration for Childrens Services!

Good luck, and remember - you are a decent lovable person, your AUNT is the one with the problem, not you!!!

Answer 6

Call someone else, where's your dad? Another relative? Whatever you do, try to get out of that house. Does that aunt work? If so, when she's at work call someone. Does your school have a social worker? Talk to them and if they don't help/ believe you then go to the police or Department of Human Services. They'll help you out. She is verbally abusive, and physically (sometimes) as well. As I said before, do whatever you can to get out of that house. Hang in there sweetie...someone will help you.

Answer 7

Sweetie if none of them care about what they are doing to you then you need to talk to one of your teacher's at school that you like and trust.... They will report the abuse and the Child services will comes and ask you what is going on and that is when you need to tell them what you have told us....... They will make sure that you and your brother will not be hurt again......

It will be tough at first but in the end it will all be worth it...... Do not blame your mother because she was prolly raise like you are being now and she figures that she went through it so you can too..... Just tell someone you trust principle, teacher, friends parent.... someone Go now and fast... before it is to late

Answer 8

I sorry you are having a bad time with your aunt if its really bad you have to tell someone like a teacher so they can see if every thing is OK, and make sure you are being taken care of.
but before you go and tell someone your being abused then take a good look is she feeding you at all. does she send you to school with nothing to eat, does she leave marks and broses on you or your brother. remember tell someone teacher or Principal some one that you trust to do the write thing.

Answer 9

If you go to school.Tell a teacher or you guidance counsel.They will help you figure things out.Or you can call the police the next time she hits one of you.I know you said she doesn't allow you to use the phone sometimes.But you can call 911 when she goes to bed even if she catches you.And hangs up the phone they are still required to go to the house to check on things.Or you can try to contact someone by e-mail. Or if you get the chance call one of your friends or their mom and ask them to call the police or child protective services.

Answer 10

You need to talk to someone at your school like a guidance counselor and have them get in touch with social services. You should not be treated in this manner and you are right this is child abuse. A child should not be treated like this no matter what and you have to realize that this is not your fault nor your brothers. These adults are wrong in their actions and you need to do something to protect your brother and yourself. Good luck.
