Child Abuse Story from Iowa Girl

by Name Undisclosed
(Undisclosed Location)




When I was about 6 or so, my mom's boyfriend started to get drunk regularly. But then he started to get angry when he was drunk. He would physically abuse me and my brother for everything, for something as simple as spilling milk.

One time, he shoved his hand down my brother's mouth for no reason...my brother had to drink salt water to fix the cuts...and my mom never did any thing about it for 5 years...

Now I am in foster care, and my mom is still with that nasty man. And now my brother lives at home now too...but I want to stay in foster care. I love my family to death, but my foster parents do so much good for me. I am sixteen now and I am doing great. And I haven't been abused for 2 years.

Foster care IS the best place for you
by: Darlene Barriere

I'm so glad that you are in a safe place, and that your foster parents are doing so much good for you. We often hear about the foster homes that aren't providing a positive, loving and nurturing environment; it's wonderful to hear of foster parents who are providing loving homes.

Just like you, I sincerely hope your brother finds a way out of the abusive environment he currently lives in.
