Child Abuse Story From Meghann1

by Meghann
(USA)

When I was just a baby my mom left. Now I am 11 years old and live with my grandma and my dad. My dad works as a fireman and sleeps in the firehouse a lot. My grandma never lets me hang with my friends. She always yells at me for little stuff and she beats me with whatever she has in her hand or near her. One time I spilled grape juice and after she cleaned it up she beat me with the vacuum.

A number to call...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Meghann, you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Try talking to your dad about how things are going in your home. Even though he's away a lot, he may be more help to you than you realize; after all, that's his job as your father. I also suggest you to contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about what your grandmother is doing to you. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency. You can visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Meghann, your grandmother has lots of problems. She is really out of control and really needs help...but you need help, too. Please tell someone you really trust, including your father.
