im 14, my father is a drunk. he is always putting his hands on me. who to look up to, what to do?

Answer 1

Tell him to STOP and tell the police... also get him help for his drinking problem.

Answer 2

He doesn't have the right to touch you in a violent way, or to constantly be drunk around you. That is abuse. I suggest that you call the police, Child Protective Services, and talk to a teacher and/or counselor at school. You need to tell people about this so they can make him stop and get you the help you need. If he is drunk and physically abusing you, I bet there are a lot of other things going on as well. Try this hotline: 1800-4-A-CHILD. They have counselors that can give you some advice about your dad and any abuse that may be occurring.

Answer 3

You need to get out of that situation, dear, before you are permanently injured. When you go to school tomorrow you need to tell the school counselor, who will report this to child protective services. You will more than likely then be interviewed by a social worker, as will your dad. If you are scared to go back home, tell the social worker and you will be put into foster care. Beware, though - if you do not want to be put into foster care, don't go this route. You could possibly enlist the help of another relative or the parents of a friend, but be aware that anyone you tell could call in a child abuse hotline, so make sure that's what you want.

Answer 5

There's not much information here to go on except I feel the desperation and confusion. To begin with, if you have another parent in the home and you can go there, that would be the first choice but maybe not the best. You do need an adult that is level headed and of sound morals. Most people would say go to the athorities, but my advice would be that be your last resort. But not one to overlook. You do need a safe place to go unless he is in another home and you can refuse to go to that space. This is not something a peer/friend can help to solve unless you have a friend that has parents that will protect you and not be judmental of you. If you are a praying person, you can get some comfort knowing you are not alone and guidance on which direction to go.

Answer 6

Tell your counselor at school. Tell Child Protective Services. Tell a relative you can trust and who will make sure you are taken out of that situation. Keep telling everyone until you are heard. And tell your father "NO" when he approaches you. You have done nothing wrong. You are a victim and need to know none of it is your fault no matter what anyone has told you. Stand up for yourself and be strong.

Answer 7

Talk to a school counselor or better yet call child protective services. I am so sorry this is happening to you and you deserve better. I know the road will be tough for you and even if you still love your father you know deep inside his behavior is wrong. Get help as soon as you can. And know not all men are this way and men can be trusted. I am praying for you even now! God bless!

Answer 8

Hitting you? I would tell someone if I were you. School counsiler or such. Until you do stay out of his way and try not to make him angry. But The best thing to do would be to tell someone you can trust and get something done about it.

Answer 9

Are you sure that he is touching you with any particular malice ? If you think so , then report it to someone in authotity as soon as possible. This can get nasty if allowed to continue.

Answer 10

hey well I'm sorry but the person you should look up to is someone you trust and what to do is have a talk to someone you trust like your nurse or someone at school. well good luck!!!
