no one in my family wants to help me. except my 13 year old sster and my boyfriend. everyone else tries to stay away from my aunt. even if they know shes abusing daisy. my aunt isnt a person you want to get mad. but getting a helpless child away from her would be the best thing,
she has another kid. my 10 year old cousin Noel. she left him in my grandmothers house when he was jus a month old! she doesnt care about him and i know the only reason she satyed with daisy is because she has no one else with her.
*right now she is currently living with my grandmother in mexico

Im sorry just nervouse
like i said before no one (AND I MEAN NO ONE!!) in my family wants to help me. when i bring up the subject of daisy and my aunt they shut my up and tell me IM CRAZY! everyone is trying to break connection with my aunt. and my mom said the only way she will help daisy is if my aunt dies. which in my case make many happy but that will be like a miracle

Get in touch with a child advocacy group in your area. They should be able to give you the name of some local attorneys willing to represent minors. Next time your cousin is in town, take her to this attorney and explain the story to them. A qualified lawyer will best be able to tell you what, if anything, can be done. Best wishes.

Hi Swimming, When your aunt comes to the us again call the
police and tell them she is being abuse by your aunt. Has your aunt left any marks on Daisy? If so take picture of the marks so you and slow the police and I would call some one in the child protective office and report this to them to. She is an American citizen so they have to help her. I don't understand why your family will not help this little 8 year old child. If something bad happens to Daisy they will never forgive them selves. You are a great kid and you do care about what's going on with your crazy aunt. Wishing you all the Luck in the world.
A Friend.

Yes there is a way..
but only when ur ccuz and aunt are in the US
got to the Cops tell them the details you have. and if u have proof of it than its awfully simple . The cops can take the custody of the child and give her some safe place to live. and if u dont have proof than its a bit diffcult. The cops will take her on your report but she could go free in trial. so get a lawyer those social types who do these cases for free as a community service and then your cuz can stay and away from your evil aunt.

You are very strong at 16. I commend you on trying to do something about it. It is sad that nobody except the 13 year old will help you with this. Your aunt cannot be allowed to continue this behavior.
As a courtesy, I posted your questions on my blog so we can get you some more answers.

your aunt should be locked away i would advise you to tell someone like your parents if they don't listen then go to the police tell them everything she did to you and they should be able to help you. do something now don't let daisy suffer any more. you may have to go to court and give evidence but as long as daisy is away from her then it will be worth it. you could also try for compensation from your aunt for when she abused you. that money could be good for your future and daisy will be safe. its a win win situation
take care

This isn't going to be a great answer because I'm not sure if our country can do anything for her, I wouldn't know.
But you are a really good person for feeling the way you do, and I'm sure if you feel that way strongly enough, you can help her.
Tell someone. Tell your parents, tell friends, tell a psychiatrist, whoever. The more people who know, the more chances of help you may get. See if your parents will fly there and get her, if not, see if they will give you the means to go with someone.

Since Daisy is a U.S. citizen, she should be protected under the law. If I were you, I would contact your local Family Protection Services and ask them for advice. You need adults to help you. Good luck!

little ones are actual no longer likely liars - they do no longer frequently have an intensive adequate memory or emotional intelliegence to lie properly. What u . s . a . are you in? In Australia there is branch of community centers. This branch helps households and protects toddlers and othe rvulnerable human beings. relax certain that by skill of making a report, you would be doing what's solid. No single report, till of surprising threat, will make the image. different comments, invcestigation and assessment is what is going to form something of the image. i could individually prefer to have made a report and probably secure and saved a youthful toddler, then no longer do it and be incorrect.

try calling the child abuse hotline in the united states and ask them if there is anything you can do. also, make sure that she is truly being abused. you say you can see it in her eyes, but you'll probably have to have a little bit more of substantial evidence then that. i'm sure there are child abuse agencies in mexico...call there and report it or find out what you can do.
