Please help (child abuse)?

Question

I have 2 younger sisters and an older brother. Both of my parents physically abuse us, and every day, at least one of us cries. They hit us for anything, test scores lower than a B, missing homework, spilling something, breaking something, and not obeying them. Anything they can reach they grab it and hit us with it, and if there's nothing, they use their fists and feet. They've used spatulas, drumsticks, metal trashcans, wooden sandals, stools, and countless others. They've left bruises on me that lasted weeks, and I've even told my friends, but they don't seem to care. At my high school, they give out folders with Child Abuse Hotlines, but my parents have threatened us that if they get arrested, we'll become orphans and live on the streets. They are "pastors," and they justify their actions with Proverbs 13:24, 22:15, and 23:13. Please, I know that you guys probably can't do anything to help, so I just want to know, is it true? Will we really just be left alone with no guardians?

Answer 1

No, that's not true. Usually they children are given to the next of kin that can provide a safe, loving environment. Don't let them scare you into staying so that they can continue to abuse you, you deserve better than that! Please, report them before it gets worse than it already is!

Answer 2

NO THATS NO TRUE AT ALL!! You will be adopted most likely by someone in your family who wants you and loves you. Next time this happens you should call the police and show the marks that they have made. And my mother drills me with the bible i know those verses yes the bible does say discipline your children but abuse is not the same thing as discipline there is a line.

no this is not true..I grew up with a abusive father..there are shelters and places that will definiately help..dont allow this..get some help..there is a difference between being beat and being disciplined..this doesnt seem to be a discipline situation...there are a lot of places that will help..My mom and us went to a shelter and its been 3 years..now we live in a nice home without abuse we are really happy:)

Answer 4

I believe the best thing you can do is call child services. unfortunately if none of your other siblings have called, its going to be left to you. I myself come from a broken home. It wasnt as abusive, but the verbal and emotional are just as bad. If you love your younger siblings and even teh older one you need to protect your family, which is what family is all about. Would God and Jesus really want parents to abuse their children? If we're all created in God's image to be like God and are supposed to be loving like that, I hardly doubt God would beat his kids.... with stuff like that... save your younger siblings from the suffering you are going through. Their young and probably will be resilient to alot of the pain that sets in when being a teenager you start to understand more deeply whats going on.

Also to do nothing when you are capable of doing something is just as guilty, like if you have enough money for olive garden dinner, and there is a homeless man. I would either give him my left overs or buy him dinner. You have to stand up and do whats right...and that is always the hardest thing to do. But if you know them getting beaten is bringing them pain and they can't defend themselves... out of unconditional love step up. Or hell give me your damn number and address and I'll call for you. They do take anonymous phone calls at police stations and DFax.. thats all it took for my friend to lose her kids through DFAX and child services was an anonymous call. But the more proof you have to back up your claim like bruises or anything . do it.

Answer 5

I suggest you talk with a caring and trusting adult. Maybe a teacher at school or a close relative whom you trust. Children do not deserve to be treated badly. Good luck and God Bless each of you.

Answer 6

NO GO TELL SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY! YOU WILL GO TO A BETTER FAMILY LIKE ADOPTION!!!!!!!!!
