Answer 1

Listen to me please...I am a nurse...if your dad is hurting you physically, emotionally, mentally, or sexually, there are caring, loving people who can and will help you to be in a happy, safe place. I can help you if you want, or you can tell someone at school that you trust(a favorite teacher...counsl.) You are probably feeling very confused about what to do or say and that's normal for what you are going through at home. Everyone...kids and adults..even animals deserve to be loved and treated with respect. Don't blame yourself for anything...not doing something he wants and then he hits you IS NOT YOUR FAULT. We all make mistakes and that is not your dad's right to beat you if you don't do what he wants. If you are afraid of what might happen once you tell people what he is doing to you, please ask God to give you the strength you need. I will pray that for you right now. I was abused myself and what I learned is two things, one we love our abuser and we hate them! We wish they would stop and they would give us what we so desperately need, but we never get it...or we get little bits and pieces at times. The longer we get abused, the more afraid we are to tell people or do something to change things. Change scares us and keeps us stuck in the abuse. I finally couldn't take it anymore and I ran away...I don't recommend running away, but it will get the police attention and get people on your side to protect you. If you have bruises or marks on your body, you can walk into any police department in America and you will never have to go back to that home again! I promise if you tell the truth and open up to someone, you will get the help you need. Where is your mother if you don't mind me asking? It is safer for you to talk to someone outside of your family because sometimes families can't face the truth and they deny the abuse and make you feel alone and worse. The only way to stop abuse is to speak out against it...one kid at a time. There are a million...billion people who love you if they knew you and they would help in a second if you give them a chance. Don't feel bad for what might happen to your dad...he did this to himself and don't ever forget that. You are not someone's punching bag or door mat. It is not ok for him to take out his anger and frustrations on you honey..never! You are someone very important and special and God has a Great future for you that includes being loved and treated tenderly. Use the voice he gave you to tell and stop the cycle. U can email me at [e-mail] if you want to talk. Please take care and remember u r loved!

Answer 2

If your ex is stopped in a traffic stop or in some other way comes into contact with police, then they'll run his plate/license, and the warrant will pop up, and he'll be taken in. Warrants are sort of "prioritized" and over matters such as this, they are are low priority, so it's not likely that they will actually go out and actively look for him. Edit: also, about the 15 grand...he got it last year, and unless you're sure he still has the money, I woudn't press the issue because he could have spent it in a week, knowing that he owes back support and not wanting you to take it. If that's the case, he will not earn anything in jail that would enable him to pay you half of what he owes.

Answer 3

If you or a friend is being abused, it is grat that you are seeking information to get out of the situation or help a friend out of that situation. The best place to seek help is the local Child Protective Services. Each state has their own 800 # for reporting child abuse and it is usually located in the front of the phone book with other hotline #'s. You can also check out www.childhelp.org for info and reporting services. Cick on "Get Help" at the top for info about the organization- they are a national abuse help organzation- confidential. The national child abuse reporting # is 1-800-422-4453. Call this number and they can answere questions, give info, or help you to contact the services in your state to help you. You need to report the abuse so that the proper authorities can protect you/your friend. All reports are confidential. You can always confide in a teacher/counselor/principal/minister or another parent you may know also- any adult- a doctor or nurse. But, please keep yourself safe. I hope these #'s can help get you started. Good luck you and your friend.

Answer 4

As a grown up child of child abuse.... I will tell you this:

Call the police & the child protective authorities.

You're friend is in a position where he/she is not going to be able to do it. This is the only recourse, unless there are very good friends that are willing to take her in. And even then, the authorities should be aware of what's happening. Whatever the case, the physical abuse must not be allowed to continue.

If you really care, do not stand idly by.... DO SOMETHING. There will be long term affects of what's happening to her now. If the damages can be minimized now, it will be easier for him/her to recover later on.

GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE.
