[dark_angel_56]

i think its really bad and anyone who abuses anyone should be tortured to death and after they die they should get tortured after they die in hell <<<phew! long sentance

[broken inside]

yeah child abuse is horrible

[♥тωιѕтє∂_яσѕє♥]

[gaarahinata]

Child abuse is one of the most evil things to do!
im lucky i have good parents!O.O
i wish everyone had good parents!
most ppl that get abused and live turn out to be killers!:eek:

[MZprincess1993]

my rents arn't child abusers they just yell a lot..
yeah sometimes they hit me but..i'm pretty used to it
anyway child abuse is wrong, abuse period is wrong.

[Randomgirl]

Child abuse makes me sick. Any person, who can beat another living thing is disguisting. They prey on weaker beings, to make themselves feel better, & it makes my stomach churn.


my rents arn't child abusers they just yell a lot..
I don't mean to get into your personal life, but if they yell alot at you, [ie, call you names or tell you, you're worthless] then that's verbal abuse which is just as bad. It can emotionally damage a person.

herm..well my mom does that to me sometimes, but anyway. I live w/ my grandparents so they don't do that to me they just yell. So..*poke*

[Randomgirl]

Who are you poking??? Are you poking me!!!? DON'T INFURIATE MY WRATH!!!

[MZprincess1993]

[Randomgirl]

Yay! I have a person on my buddylist. It never really concerned me until I read that post in the general section & saw how everyone has lots of ppl on their buddylist.
We should start our own poke war in the bored section. Lol.

Child Abuse.
The most horrifying thing I can think to happen to a child other than molestation. (And those two go hand in hand)
I myself have never been hurt by my parents. Of course, you may consider me too be mentally abused due to all the screaming and swearing that went on in my house but they don't do that anymore. Anyway, this topic came to me when I heard my neighbor, Jacob (He's eleven), scream "I'm not fighting you!" (Followed by "I don't care!" by the mother) and god knows they don't have the best relationship. Although, I can't really asume what I heard was abuse but...
Anyway, this isn't my first time seeing someone I care about abused either. My cousin, Billianne (She's about 13), is abused by her mother and father. Of course, her mother has always been violent. In fact, she pushed her own my mother (My grandma) down the stairs when she was a teenager. If you didn't guess, she was doing drugs. But now she only smokes...and drinks...but ever since it first got out (What she was doing to Billi) she stopped. I think it may be better but I doubt it since Billi's been spreading rumors that my 17-year-old sister's on crack.

Anyway, what are your opinions?

[Syrus Luvver]

I think child abuse is terrible. My parents don't abuse me (I get yelled at and sometimes hit if (they think) I deserve it) and I'm lucky for that. I don't see the point in someone getting a child if they are going to do that to them. If they do drugs or whatever.

[renjineko]

i agree very bad my BFF's cousin got abused

[unloved_forever]

Child abuse is awful, who could possible abuse a small child who cannot defend themselves!
There are different types of abuse, mental and physical.

[Gothanimedollfreak]

Yes, I believe emtional abuse is one too but that kind of falls in the mental cattegory...

[RisingDemon]

Ive suffered it all -.- But I still wont fight back.
It'll just hurt me more.

[Tracia]

Many people didnt even want the children they have, and then, they create a power ladder. Many were abused or mistreated too, and so, when they're adults, if they feel attacked, they take it on the next lower step of the ladder, which would be the kids. This is a horrible thing to do, but child abuse only reflects the problems the parents hve.

[fighterkid]

Child abuse is horrible. It makes me so sad :(

[shadownthecorner]

honestly i think that anyone who thinks its ok to abuse a kid should be shot in the head a few times. its really depressing. im not sure if it wouold be considered abuse but last few times i told my mom i was depresserd she called me a ungrateful little ***** but before that time she just ignored me. then when i used to stay with my grandma she would say that was such a bad kid knowing i would get a spanking. then when me coiusin tried to push me down the stairs nobody did anything but when i kicked him in the balls i got in trouble..but anyway. shot in the head if you hit a kid for no reason

[AlcTrCKaD]

Child Abuse....is sick and wrong. No matter how bad your child is....abuse, is not an option. I know someone who can from and abusive family who stayed with me for a couple of weeks before going to court.

[AlcTrCKaD]

Ive suffered it all -.- But I still wont fight back.
It'll just hurt me more.

....i'm sorry....but you need to do something. I know its hard, from personal experiance, but it'll only get worse if you dont do something, like I said...sorry

[RisingDemon]

....i'm sorry....but you need to do something. I know its hard, from personal experiance, but it'll only get worse if you dont do something, like I said...sorry

Look, it can't get any worse now, my parents are growing weaker, my farther is getting arthritis at an early age so no more of that, and well, I dont want to get into the other stuff.

[Tracia]

My father was always had arthritis, and that has never stopped him from beating me down.

[Escelators'~For~Emos']

Wow. Serious sublect. I, personally, think it's horible. I mean if the lil' S.O.B deserved a smack, then whatever. But saying you forgot to do your HW or your parents fight and you ge beat with a belt. NOW THATS HARSH! And somethings are better to not talk about, but Rising, maybe thats somehing you should get off your chest. ^.-

[AlcTrCKaD]

see whatcha mean there.....but like what Escelators' said..
Again see what you mean, my mom divorced my dad because of it and then she took it up so...i mean there is somethings you can and can not deal with

[articwolf]

i have neighbors (kids w/e) they get abused. their so skinny they barely eat and its really sad i try to say something but no one cares but my parents and the girl she goes to school and all the kids make fun of her.

[Tracia]

well, that's abuse too. It doesn't have to come from the parents only.

[articwolf]

duh i know lol well im happy my parents aren't abusive.

[angelgirl1419]

I agree, Tracia. Child Abuse can come from anyone, just not the child's legal guardians.

[articwolf]

i know that but most of the ones where i live her from the parents its so sad...

[Lameil]

well...............my dad is bad to my bro....i was little and was taking a bath.....my bro's friend was over........my bro said something a little agrily to my mom.......my dad dragged him outside, threw him on the ground and kicked him....i heard it because it was in the backyard.....a window above the bath tub faces the backyard.........i heard my bro cry in pain and my dad yell.......when my mom came home she got angry......but she just got angry at mky dad......and thats one story......then theres the story of how he called me a little sh*t just for telling him to stop fighting with my mom and sis.........

[articwolf]

omg that ssad -shakes head-

[Lameil]

The little sh*t story goes like this:

Okay, so my dad is complaining about money lowage. My sis then says, "And you went to buy a new car and motocycle." to him. He calls her a *****. They fight and my mom comes in. Then my bro is sitting watching TV then goes to his room. I was on the computer. Fighting always happens and i want to go in and say, "STOP FIGHTING!!!" so for once in my life i mustered up courage and said it. I walked back to the computer. My dad came in and said, "Shut up you little sh*t!!!!" and i start cryring. Wait scratch that, balling! Then my mom says, "Looka t her face!" and my dad says he doesn't care. Then my sis says, "NO KID DESERVES TO GROW UP LIKE THIS!!!!!" and they go back to where they were before and keep fighting. My dad goes to bed early being fed up with his family. My mom calls his brothers wife and talks with her. Then talks to her friend in california. Then she slept in my bed that night she was so angry at my dad.

[Lameil]

BUT! My dad isnt all bad! He used to coach my soccer team til i quit. Now he coaches my team in my fav sport, lacrosse. So dont feel bad 4 me!!!!!

[Lameil]

[Lameil]

There there *pats arcticwolf on the back then on the head*

[articwolf]

-twitches- ok enough im good.

[Ravenheart]

My dad's been an alcaholic for years. He's just gotten better at covering it.

He was only dumb enough to try to beat me up once. My mom came in to break us up after I'd given him a couple bruises. He didn't remember how they got there.

It's hard for me to think about sometimes... most of the torment he'd give me after that was of the mental sort. I used to be a daddy's girl. Now if I'm up late enough to run into him I'm 'stupid c!@#' or 'dumb b!@#$.'

My boyfriend's had it worse. He spent years moving to a different apartment with his mother and brothers every month or so with her boyfriend and his five kids. This latter party used to beat on my boyfriend's family. Money for food and a place to stay was a monumental task. He's still got the marks to prove it, mentally and physically. He and his younger brother live with their grandparents now. The oldest brother moved out some time ago... he's frigged up beyond repair.

Everything I went through was nothing compared to him. But the point is I've seen it firsthand, as I have seen the results. It's terrifying, and the worst part for me is that there isn't a f!@#ing thing I can do about it.

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system, and here on the internet where nobody knows who I am seemed like a pretty good place to do it.

I agree that it's one of the most awful crimes known to man. Unforgivable.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

i meant that in a way of pity and empathy...........

Oh..... thanks....

Oh..... thanks....

yerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr welcome

[Soaki-chan]

It's horrible! I'm not abused, but I know someone who is. My friends cousin is abused by his mother. He's only seven years old! I guess it's not total abuse, more of a mix of mental and physical abuse. Like one time, my friend told me that Dustin (That's her cousin) and Brandy (Her aunt) were over at her house once. Brandy wrestles with Mackenzie (My friend) alot, and one time Dustin was too close. Brandy kicked dustin up against the wall (Mackenzie said she thought it was on purpose!) and Dustin started crying. And all brandy did was say "Don't be such a baby!" and ignored his crying. I was so shocked when Mackenzie said "Brandy is the coolest mom ever!" I almost slapped her.

[Ravenheart]

Try watching your father break your mother's ribs...

[Soaki-chan]

Oh.My.Gosh. That actually happened to your mother? I feel so sorry for you! Did you call the police? Or were you really young?

[Ravenheart]

... my mother told me not to. Because we were on the brink of losing the house, and if my dad had lost his job then, we would have been screwed.

I had up LIFE for three years, because my ill mother needed me to stay home and make sure my dad didn't do worse. I had a boyfriend. I had friends. But at thirteen years of age I was a soldier.

Every weekend was a nightmare. He'd come home from work during the week, long hours at the hospital, and hit the vodka... quarts of it. So drunk he couldn't speak without spitting on one of us. And if you locked him out, he'd break down the door. I was thirteen and I had to protect my mother from my father.

I'm sixteen now... I'm still not over it.

[Soaki-chan]

Oh my! That's bad...real bad...

[Ravenheart]

Well, the story gets better. My grandparents out in Illinois announce they're coming up for Thanksgiving because they want to see us kids. Right? Wrong! My FATHER told them that my mother was incompetent and lazy and they ran right out. These are her parents.

My mother lost her appetite years before. She wasn't eating much. And she was constantly downing ibuprofin to kill the pain in her ribs. But it wasn't enough- she looked to rum to help medicate. A year or two of little food, lots of medicine and lots of alchahol and you know what that does? Wore away her stomach lining until she had ulcers and her gut filled up with fluid to protect itself. By the time my grandparents came out she looked like she was many months pregnant.

For awhile they believed my dad, things looking like they did. They sent her to a hospital a couple hours away to get her stomach drained and help her recover some. But then my father decided to get drunk while they were there: big mistake. They saw everything, they heard the things he said, they saw him try to push my newly-recovered mother down the stairs. When he was sober my grandfather gave him an earful and he has yet to do anything that drastic again, at least openly.

My grandfather recently passed away. I never got to thank him.

Nowadays it's only if I'm up late enough that I have to take talk from him. And he knows that if he lays a hand on my mom I'll tear him apart before he knows what hit him. But what still bothers me the most is that he was so weak he couldn't take responsibility. And worse yet is the fact that my mother could have brought us to Illinois any time. But she stayed and let it happen, and never did a thing about it.

[Soaki-chan]

Oh wow! Now that's good...real good...

I know that feeling Raven. My step-dad was violent in the same way. He would get drunk nearly every night, so yelling, screaming, punching holes in the walls, I grew pretty well accustomed too. And I was only a young child at the time, barely in school, I would say about 5 or 6 years old.

Anyway, one night it got so bad, that my mom came into my room, woke me up, and we snuck out of my bedroom window. We then drove to my uncles house, and he and his girlfriend hid my moms truck at a motel parking lot, that way if my ex step dad went looking for us, he wouldnt be able to tell if we were at my uncles since my moms vehicle wasn't there. Needless to say my mom divorced him...

But now, with that experiance, I won't let any man ever lay a finger on my mother, or myself for that matter.

[Lameil]

........wow.........

[Ravenheart]

My God, I feel it, angelgirl. I'm sorry you had to live with that too. I hope life's better for you now...?

[angelgirl1419]

Yeah, its better. I mean, the guy my mom is with now is ten times better. We've been living with him and his son for seven or eight years now(there not married).

But, they still get into pretty wicked fights, their not as bad with my previouse ex step dad, but I just ignore them know, once you've heard your first 50 fights...you pretty much grow numb to all the yelling and cursing.

But, has yours gotton any better?

[Lameil]

............badgers...............

[Ravenheart]

Some days are better than others. My parents are still together, but their marriage is dead. I'm a little messed up from it, but seeing a shrink. Dad still has his bad nights where, if I'm up late enough, the names start flying and all I want to do is hit him. But not often. Life's mostly stable.

[angelgirl1419]

Thats good. My parents divorced while I was only 10 months old, so I can't imagine how much harder it would have been to go through what I did, had it been my own father.

Anyway, good to see things are better for you.^_^

[Lameil]

BADGERS!!!!!!!!!!! .............platypus...........

[Ravenheart]

Thanks angelgirl. A little support goes a long way...

[angelgirl1419]

No problem.

You know us, 'troubled teens' must stick together, lol.

[Lameil]

Im only 10......

[Soaki-chan]

Good for you...so am I.

And I guess NO one herd what I said???

[Lameil]

i....did......i dont know why but i have 1 shard of goth/emo in me lately....ever since 12-31-06....my 10th b-day...

[dead sephiroth]

i hate child abuse it should never happen

[morgan_1216]

it never should but as long as there are ppl it will happen some where. theres always gonna be some fd up human being out there. but if you can put a stop to it thats a wonderful gift to the victim. good job originall poster.

[dead sephiroth]

i agree wit moragn big time

[shippo231]

*shutters* i read everything on here and this just creeped me out...this many people with abuse?!...its insane...

[Sugar Baby]

Yeah, this is insane. I mean why? You brought this child into the world, why would you be like this to them? Well some parents had problems as kids like Lameil's dad (my BBFF ((yes i meant to have 2 Bs and 2 Fs))) so that's the source. lameil said that her dad is getting better ever since he's been waiting for his new aprillia motorcycle on 10-5-07. For all of you, to make your parents a bit better they need time to relax and a happy place. (Like the motorcycle.)

[Multi-Facets]

My mother is an abuse survivor. I'm very firm in the belief that anyone who hurts someone under their care in such horrific ways should have their hands cut off and their legs hacked off at the thighs. And then denied prosthetics or wheelchairs.

I know I don't understand the fear that goes on in those homes, but I still hope somehow the victims can get the help they need. And if they can't run to people they trust, then I pray they can find the strength to just run.

I don't pray much, but I pray for the chance for them to run, and I pray for their healing. I can't do anything else, and that makes me want to cry.

Please hold on, everyone out there who's hurting.

[Girl of your Dreams]

i agree child abuse is the worst thing and its good u helped ur friend out b/c if that happend to my friend i would probley be kicked out of school or in jail.

[KileeDrifter]

this happens a lot... its sad honestly, i had a friend every day she would come late to school, she wud have bruises, she had an exhausted look on her face... i knew something was going on.
when she told me her older brother bullies her and beats the living life out of her, i HAD to do something.. so i called the child helpline, her life is so much better now.
im glad i helped her:D i wish i could help other ppl out there.
any views??


I WAS child abused when i was younger. At least on law standards, it wasn't that bad, but i got hit a lot. My dad wanted me to be the best in my class, so he'd make me write 3-5 pages a day in kindergarden, and if i didn't do a good job i got hit. Plus, one time i accidently broke the screen door because i was playing tag and i slipped on the door mat, and my drunk fag of a dad kicked me in the ribs out the door. I was 6.

No I'm not making this up. I'm serious. But i should be thankful, I mean i could have had a father who was willing to KILL me not just hit me, and i could have had a mother that didn't try to make my dad stop. I could still be LIVING with dad. I have a lot to be thankful for.

[KileeDrifter]

by any chance, not all kids that are child abused turn out that bad. I'm scarred, i'll say that, but i'm happy that i turned out.......kind of...ok.
