Child Abuse Story From Bria

by Bria
(Miami, Florida, USA)




I am 13 years old and my grandma that adopted me is now physically abusing me. I am ready to leave, as in runaway or kill myself. Possibly, my auntie is looking for a lawyer so she can take me away.

Reply from Darlene: Bria, report what is happening to you to child protection. You need support. Please contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose the abuse. And I strongly recommend you DO disclose. You don't deserve to be physically abused.

 I Hate child Abuse!
by: Linda

Bria, don't be afraid of reporting child abuse, from your grandmother. I hate child abuse from anyone! Be it, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or strangers. You don't deserve to live in an abusive environment, no one does. If your aunt knows of the abuse. maybe she'll help you get out. My prayers are with you.

 Don't do it!

Please, do not kill yourself! If you don't, then you can hope for things to get much better. Already, your aunt might be trying to take you away from all of that pain. Suicide can only make things worse for everyone involved. Probably, the best thing that you can do right now is tell the police, CPS a teacher, or a school counselor about your grandmother's actions. I really, truly hope that you get through this and find help for yourself.
