how do i ask for help or call the police?

Question

my brother has been abusing me along time and sexually harrassing me. everytime he does i want to call for help but i'm too afraid, to. i was straightening my hair in the bathroom just now he told me to get out so he could cut his hair, i said no.. then like 6 min later i get out, he pushes me against the wall and punches me now i have a huge bump on my arm. i want to call the cops, but i dont know what will happen, i'm 13 and home alone with my brother. they might take him away, but also take me away because they don't want to leave me home alone. my mom is at work she works graveyard shift. i don't know what to do, how do i get the guts to ask for help,whenever i do, i always think about the bad stuff, like what if this happens or that. what should i do?

last yr my 19 y/o sis called the cops on him, he ran away. they didnt get him

Answer 1

Okay...first of all talk to your mother. I am assuming that your mom is single and there is no dad???
If talking to your mom doesn't help then I would try writing your brother a letter and telling him how you feel about what is happening. He cannot tell you to shut up in a letter, or call you a sissy baby...or what ever mean older brothers do today.
Explain to him in your letter that you are at a point where something needs to happen and you just need this abuse to stop. If this does not help...you really have no choice but to get police involved to protect yourself.
Good luck, be strong.

Answer 2

i went through almost the same thing as you but it was only abusive not sexual. im 15 and hes 17. he doesnt repect anybody at all not even the police. one day he slapped my arm and i told him in front of my grandma that if he touches me like that again i swear i will call the police. that same day he hit me on the back of the head. i called them but my grandmother left wen they showed up but my 18 year old brother was here. these are the questions they asked me and might ask you : were is your brother, how old are you and him, were are your gardians, were did he hit you, is there anyone over 18 home, has he hit you before, do you want to press charges. not in that order and in your situation they might ask some more but rember stay calm. i was scared that my brother was going to have to jail and the cops knew so they told me that they dont come out only to talk they come to take someone to make the situation better. my brother was down the street and they went i told them were he was and they went to go get him from there. he tried to deney it and the cops said that i seemed to be telling the truth. well yeah try not to be scared of wats going to happen, guys shouldnt be hitting thats why i called them in the first place. tell him in front of your mom if you touch me the wrong way again im going to call the police so that he is warned not to . and if he does touches you again call the cops. well i hope i helped and if you need more help my yahoo messenger is [e-mail] if you need more help with him or anything else .

Answer 3

Tell your mother what is going on.
where is your dad, he might also be able to intervene on your behalf.
Chances are that they WILL lock him up if there is evidence that he abused you...AND THEY SHOULD. HE caused this, not you.
Since you are 13, you will be able to stay home alone is some jurisdictions but the police will probably call your mother and have her come home....either way, that is not your problem.
If he goes to jail then he will learn a valuable lesson in life and that is that he cannot go around hitting people. YOu will actually be doing him a favor because some people that he hits will hit him back (if he is lucky) or shoot him (if he is not). Better he learns the lesson now then for him to learn it after waking up from a coma without the use of his legs.....
DO NOT LET THIS CONTINUE

Answer 4

You need to talk to your mother unless she is just turning a blind eye to this. If that is the case then you need to call the police or go physically go to the station a file a report against your brother. Chances are good that you will be removed from your home and placed in foster care, but that would be better that having to put up with abuse and give you a chance at a more normal and happy life.

Answer 5

First you need to talk to mom or dad and tell them what is up, tell them EVERYTHING. I understand its gonna be hard. But you must, if you want to see a change. Do it when he is not there. But let your parents know as soon as possible that you need to talk to them. Don't wait a week..do it sooner. If your mom won't protect you, then you must go to the police. But warn her. Don't be scared. She can't kick you out, your a minor. If he is over 18, he can be removed from the home as well, and charged as an adult. Listen to me, you have to do something about it now. Do you want your brother raping you? Giving you black eyes? The abuse is ONLY gonna get worse as you get older, and as you mention that he is sexually harassing you..that is wrong..your 13..he is literally sick..don't trust him. Don't be alone with him anymore. As you get older, his advances are gonna be stronger, please WAKE UP and do something about it, if your mom is not, trust me, the cops can help you. Just make sure you have evidence on him. That will be easier for them to put him away. This is your life. I know your just a kid, I feel soo bad you got to put up with this crap at such a young age. Don't let him take your childhood away..your still young. Tell someone.

Answer 6

Do your mother know that he treats you this way if not you need to tell her or can you go to a family member?You need to tell someone you shouldn't be left alone with him!Pick up the phone and call the police if you have to before something bad does happen never be afraid to ask for help to save yourself i don't care who it is the police can get in contact with your mom at work my son is 13 and as a mother i would want to know if he was going through something like this.Be strong tell someone!!My heart goes out to you!

Answer 7

I would tell my mother that when she is gone he hits me & harasses me sexually, if she won't listen, talk to your older sister & see what she says and if no one listens, tell the teacher at school or a police man. You can not be afraid of what might happen if you tell, only what will happen if this continues. Maybe something good will happen,like your mom may get a better job or you will get to stay with you sister when she works or another relative. He needs to learn how to treat women and if he older than 18 he can get into hot water with sexual abuse and its better to teach him now before more worse things happen. Don't be scared tell your mom tonight.

Answer 8

If you can, talk it over with your mom first.

In many states you can go on-line & make an anonymous report of abuse to Child Protective Services (CPS) . You should be able to find the site easily with a search engine. CPS will look into the situation & try to provide assistance to your family to stay safe.

In emergent situations, you can call 911.

You can call police & request he be placed on an "Emergency Detention" due to fear he is a "danger to himself or others". This way he will be taken into custody (this is not the same as being arrested, even though handcuffs will likely be used) & forced to go to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. This is a good way to stay safe without having him "arrested".

Answer 9

I would call the cops! You don't deserve to be treated like that. Ever! If by bringing in the cops is the only way he'll listen then do it!

Answer 10

find someone that is related to you to go to your house and then call the cops but dont tell him. and stay close to the front door. and if you dont want him to get away again lock all te door and put oil on them making it harder to open for him. but not the front door. and lock the windows f possible.
