Child Abuse Story From Claire

by Claire
(Location Undisclosed)




Forced into Prostitution: 
My name is Claire. I'm currently 19. I have a 4 year old son named Emmett.

I was only 14 for the first few weeks I was pregnant with him. I believe that he was delivered 7-8 months after my 15th birthday.

I still don't know who Emmett's biological father is. I can't even count how many men I've had sex with. Sometimes I think it may even be a hundred.

I didn't know I was pregnant until I realized that I was missing my periods and gaining weight.

I never told anyone about the pregnancy. Therefore, I never got to have an abortion.

My dad didn't know until my slim belly was really getting bigger.

Despite my pregnancy, my pimp (my dad) still forced me to pleasure his clients.

It all started out when I was very young. My dad has been "playing games" with me as long as I can remember.

When I was about 8, my dad convinced me that I was getting older and that I was now allowed to "play games with other guys".

He'd invite two or three older men to come over and watch football as I s**ked their d***s.

When I got to be 11, it wasn't just s**king d***s during a football game. It started to get worse. Way worse.

At this point, I started to realize that I was in danger. Despite that, I was scared. I wanted to run away, but I didn't dare to because I knew what would be have to be done if I did.

Luckily, I did have protection. I was on birth control and the men were wearing condoms. It didn't matter to me. It was still extremely painful.

My dad is my pimp. He'd sell me to older men for their own sexual entertainment. The brutal beatings made me think of myself as not only a sex toy, but also a useless punching bag.



When I was 14, the rapes got more longer and painful. I was staying up longer. More men started coming to get me. Instead of ignoring me as I cried in pain, they laughed.

They called me names. They beat me. Burnt me with cigarettes.

Being laughed at while in pain is worse than being ignored.

To me, it's the most terrible, humiliating feeling. It makes me angry. It makes me feel like nothing. I'm just a pile of s**t.

I'm a slut. I'm a whore. I'm a low-life prostitute.

Where was mom in this situation? Sitting around and doing nothing. She didn't care. Even when she knew it was happening in the other room. She did absolutely nothing.

To make a long story short, I've never done anything about it. I got the sh**tiest grades in school. Although I sound educated, I'm not. I didn't learn how to read or write until the 7th grade.

I love my wonderful language arts teacher, Ms E for teaching me how to read & write.

Although she suspected I was having issues, I never told her about the touching. I told her a big fat lie. I told her that my parents were getting divorced.

I didn't have any outside scars then to prove the abuse.

Thanks for reading my story.

Don't call yourself down. You were a child. Your father and his "clients" had all the power; and they used that power in the most vile ways. You are SPECIAL, regardless of what happened to you! Believe that. And you are your son's mother...and with that comes great responsibility. Please get help for yourself. The best gift you can give your son is to take really good care of his mother. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Even animals would never treat their young so sadistically
by: Anonymous

Claire, I'm so sorry that you didn't have a good childhood. Your "father" (if one would even be able to call him that) is a sick, sadistic and filthy pig and he really should be locked up in prison with his slimy and equally sadistic "clients" for all those disgusting, sick, sadistic and terrible crimes that they committed against you. Please call the police on those sick and sadistic beasts and then try counselling because no one deserves to live like that. As for your mother, she should've protected you, so she is just as responsible as those monsters. I really hate women who choose men over their own children! I am hurting for you...

"GET AWAY"
by: Linda

Claire, Get away from that scum of a loser father. You have your son to think of now. You don't want him around those parents of yours! You sound like a very strong woman, considering all you have endured throughout your life. But you deserve so much better and it is up to you to go for it. You can do it, you are not that child molester's meal ticket or punching bag anymore. Call the police on his low-down a@#. Prison is too good for him. Protect that little boy from them. Who his, father is, doesn't matter if he was one of the men who raped you, and that is what he did, if you were 14 years old! STATUTORY RAPE OF A MINOR! If I sound angry, it is because I am. I hate child molesters and I hope they all burn in hell. I hope you and your child find a happy life for yourselves and good luck to you.

You need to take action
by: Mike

Child abusers have a mental problem and need help. Pimps on the other hand are people who are abusing their power over younger victims for their own gain. Your father is both and needs to be put away. He has done irreversible damage to your life that you do not deserve. You need to report him, then get help for yourself to try to put the past behind and move on. You are a wonderful person and need to learn to believe in yourself. You had the courage to post here. Now it's time to take the next step.
