Child Abuse Story From Kyle For My Friend

by Kyle
(Minnesota, USA)

My friend that gets abused:
I know a girl, when her dad gets mad, he takes it out on her. not on her face, but on her body. she has to wear long sleeve shirts to school so that people don't ask questions. she wont let anyone help her because her dad is her only family that will let her live with them. she is fifteen and a really nice girl. just recently her dad replaced her door knobs so she cant lock herself in her room. her nearest neighbor is a hotel two miles away. she has people that live by but they are rarely ever there. she doesn't want to go to a foster home because she has lived in one twice before and didn't like it at all. her step mom is mean to her also. i don't know what to do for her.

You're a wonderful caring and compassionate friend. And though your friend wants you to keep the secret, the longer the secret is kept, the longer the abuse will continue. I knew you're in a difficult situation. You don't want to betray your friend's trust, and you don't want her to face going back to another foster home when she doesn't want to go. But her situation will never change if people don't step up and speak up on her behalf. I suggest you contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are aware of. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

And don't forget to take care of yourself, Kyle. It's very distressing to learn that a friend is being abused. You need to lean on your support system to make sure you are well cared for too. Thank you for sharing your friend's story with my visitors and me.
