Child Abuse Story From Anthony
by Anthony
(Wilson, North Carolina , USA)
I read a few of the stories on this site and realize there are a lot of kids who had it a lot worse than me. I live with my aunt Hanna now who is just a great lady. My mom went to prison for selling drugs when I was 11 and lived in Baltimore. I'm 13 now. My mom's out of jail and doing pretty good and is not doing drugs anymore.
When she first went to jail, DHS put me in a foster house where there were 2 other kids (1 girl and another boy). The boy was 8 and the girl was 9. The foster mom was a real mean lady. Her husband worked at night and wasn't very nice when he was there. I was not sexually abused, but I think maybe the little girl was by the husband. The foster mom would spank us for the slightest thing we did wrong. The worst part was when she would make me take all my clothes off and spank me naked with a belt in front of the other kids, and her older daughter who was about 22 years old. She even let her daughter spank me sometimes. It wasn't just me she did it to, as she would make the other boy and girl take off all their clothes to get spanked also. It was very embarrassing for us. Sometimes she would even make us stand in the corner, naked, for a long time afterward. She would even give us a bath together, and a lot of times I had to be undressed in front of the girl and other boy. Her daughter would sometimes wash us in the tub and make us walk to our room naked, which was very embarrassing.
One time, when me and the girl were sick, she and her daughter took both of us in the bathroom and gave us an enema in front of each other. Both of us were crying and humiliated. After that happened, I wrote a letter to my mom and told her how bad that lady was. My aunt finally came and got me. I lived there for 11 months. It was the worst time in my life.
Now I go to a real nice school and have a lot of friends and my aunt and uncle are real nice and my mom lives here too now and I'm very happy. My mom and aunt wrote letters and called the DHS office. I think they got the other kids out of that lady's house. I live in North Carolina now and like it very much, and don't think I'll ever go back to Baltimore.
