I've done some research on “verbal abuse" and I think me and my brother sister and mother might be suffering from it… you see, my dad calls us names like bitch, asshole, gerk, brat, and my mother hoe, hoar, and other names offensive to a woman, and he threatened all three of my siblings: threatened to “smash" me and my sister (and once lifted a knife and said to me,“it's time" it was supposed to be a joke, but still), and also did the same to my brother. A signifigant thing he did was he threatened to break my sister's leg or arm or some bone. I learned that this threatening is punished, but I'm not sure if I should call the cops, and even if I do I can't get any proof, so what should I do? (link)

HERE\'S WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO. HIDE A CAMERA SOMEWHERE SAFE AND IF THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN MAKE SURE IT\'S IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. THEN TAKE IT TO THE POLICE STATION AND JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT FATHER OF YOURS. :) Does his help?

17/f
New York state
I am nearing the end of my senior year in high school, but lately, I haven't been attending daily because I've been pretty ill, physically. I have an overactive thyroid which is causing me to have diarrhea, as well as many other health issues.
The past two times I've tried staying home from school, though (and after my mom has already called me in sick), the Principal and Guidance Counselor have showed up AT MY DOOR, and told me to get my things and get ready for school. Then, they TAKE ME TO SCHOOL THEMSELVES.
My mom doesn't do much to stop it because... I don't know why. Because I guess she thinks they're doing the right thing.
What I'm wondering is if there are any actual laws for the state of New York that state whether or not this is allowed.
I'm not deathly ill, but I've almost passed out many times in school from being extremely light-headed.
And as far as my health goes, I stay completely hydrated (I drink sooo much water) and try my best to eat normally and healthily. It's not so bad that I have to go to the emergency room or anything (at least not yet), but yesterday, I almost had to. And they still forced me to go to school. And the nurse refused to send me home because I've apparently missed too many days of school already.
The thing with my attendance, though, is that I'm already not graduating on time. I need to go to summer school for one class, and I'll either receive my diploma in August, or in January. So I don't see why they're forcing me to go if (a) I feel terribly ill ALWAYS, and (b)I'm ALREADY not graduating on time anyways.
I...ugh. Yeah.
My question: Are there any laws for New York State that state whether or not it is allowed for a Principal and Guidance Counselor to show up at a student's door, even when they're sick, and force them to go to school and do all their work, even when there's no point in doing so, because the student is already not graduating on time?
All help is appreciated in advance, thank you. (link)

my guess is that NO. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT.
