Child Abuse Story From Emma

by Emma
(USA)

I was born very happy...
I think when I was in preschool I loved life, loved everything and everybody. But then when I was in kindergarten, my mom got MS (Multipule Sclerosis. I don't think I understood what was going on. I walked to school and all the teachers were saying "Oh Emma I'm so sorry about your mom." and "How's your mom, sweetie?". I was living with my dad while my mom was in the hospital (My parents were divorced and had double custody over me and my sister.) My dad started slapping me and dragging me to my room whenever I did a single thing wrong. Now my mom is home and is soon moving 2,000 miles away. My dad is worse in a different way now. When I don't answer him if he asks me something he pulls me from my bed and throws me on the floor. He says "If I were a different man I would have killed you by now." I'm getting scared and often call my mom when I'm at my dad's house and I explain to her how he's acting and what he's doing. She doesn't really do anything and thinks I'm exagerrating. I don't know what to do...I don't know if I should move away from all my friends and my dad and stay with my mom.

What your father is doing to you is child abuse. And when he threatens you with your life, it shows how dangerous he can be. Your mother isn't taking this seriously. There is something very wrong with your father's way of thinking and acting around you. I urge you to contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are still 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. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, Emma. You don't deserve to be abused. Call the number. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
