While your brother's behaviour is harmful and dangerous, his behaviour is not technically what is termed actual "child abuse", though what he's doing is abusive. However, your parents are being neglectful by not doing enough to stop your brother from hurting you and your sister.
You're right when you say your brother needs help; and it's up to your parents to get him that help. If your parents don't step up and stop him from this so-called playing around, which is NOT playing around at all, he will do serious harm. He's already got you scared all the time. The fact that he's choking you is a clear sign that something is seriously wrong, and that you're at risk. Your parents are responsible to ensure you and your siblings live in a safe environment. They aren't doing that right now. Please contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

You don't deserve to be hurt or mistreated, Gisela. You deserve help for the fact that you are being hurt. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

The Horror

Gisela, I can't believe that your parents would abandon you and your sister to that sick, sadistic monster of a brother and allow him to beat and berate you guys 24/7...how dare they! That's not even playing-around thing; that's just torture...Oh, and he's not a good brother at all; in fact, good brothers would NEVER hurt any of their own siblings, ever. You are not to blame for his sadistic behavior.
