Michele answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 4:03 pm: You can call the police if he comes any where near you. You don't need your parents permission to call them. Will your parents let you put a lock on your door? I really hope they listen to you and understand your fears. Five years older is a lot of years, and I'll bet he is much bigger than you. And since he is just a half brother, that gives him even less incentive to be nice to you.
Also if he brings drugs in the house your parents could get arrested too.
I feel bad for you. Your parents are not thinking straight. I wouldn't let him in my house, not if he were 18. At 18 his criminal behavior is his problem. DOn't take any chances. Do you have a cell phone. Do you have a phone in your room. Call the police if he comes anywhere near you. Even if you see him fighting with your parents and threatening them and you think it is going to get violent. Call the police. People like your brother are bullys, but they settle down in the fact of authority.
If he does hit you, the judge can make him move out of the house no matter what your parents say.
YOU can file a restraining order against him. YOOU talk to the cops if he gets arrested and say you want a RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HIM.
I hope this helps and good luck to you. I will pray for your safety.

BE your strong self. Your parents could try talking to people like the ppl i suggested (counseling, milatary school, community service...)
But then again its your choice i was just trying to help.. im really sorry hes a criminal.

If there are none, speak to your school councilor and explain the situation. If they can't help, call the local Department of Human Resources and try to get someone to listen to you. Then try the police in your area (NOT 911 unless he is trying to hurt you. Look up the non-emergency number in the phone book.)If this doesn't work, call a local television station with it's own news. Write letters to DHR, police and the local news for help. Other than that, your parents suck that they do not realize the danger they are putting you in. Follow your fear on this one. Hug and support! I wish you the best.
