that is not a way to punish you that is "child abuse" no matter what the reason! if he hit you with a belt it's considered "legal" as long as no marks are left. if he hit you anywhere else and leaves marks you should call a law enforcement officer but that is all up to you. i think that if your father gets angery with you than he should sit down and talk to you not hit you. have you ever thought that maybe he was abused as a child and that why he does it to you? well i wish you nothing but the best do whats best for you and take care of your self.

well it depends wut you mean. if there are marks left behind then it is most likely considered as abuse. you should contact someone at school or someoone you trust that is a grown up and tell them what is going on. if you have any more questions plz feel free to im at T3RRI2010. buh-bye!!!

Hey,
Your dad's pysicall behaviour towards you is a form of punishment. At the end of the day it is however legally considered as abuse and is against the law. Weather you choose to get the police involved or not is purely up to you.

Cheers.

Well for some people it isnt abuse .. it is just their way of punishing their child or just their way of doing things for punishment but if their is any marks like bruises or scars that are left then its mostly likely gonna be considered abuse by some people !! Hope it helped !!

It's abuse if he's not doing it in a joking way. No adult should ever hit any child. I'm sorry this happens to you =(

orphans answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 11:01 pm:
sounds like abuse to me...

its especially abuse if you get bruses and cuts from him and he never apologizes. or feeds you.

also especially if he sees you crying cut && bruised from him and he just walks away

next time he slaps you call the cops

peace out girl scout

jesseybessey94 answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 10:57 pm:
Well really it depends on how hard or how much he hits you. If he hits you so hard he gives you bruises tell your mom or an adults you trust! But if it just like you feel lkke it is punishment then it is but 13 is a weird age for hitting to be a punishment! so look in to it and just see

askmeimaguy answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 10:11 pm:
your never too old to be punished you are still considered a childand in some states theymight do something but if you live in one of the many states that just consider it a "family matter" well he might not want to spank you because of your "parts" so he hit you but he could have just wanted you to get it in your head to not to do that agian yeah

that answer was to the best of my ability hope i helped

XmeXohXmie answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 7:08 pm:
Tell him that when he hits you it makes you feel uncomfortable and that you would prefer being grounded or something. If he contines to hit you then you need to get help. On this website under Miscellaneous there is something that says "Report Abuse". Go there for help.

Hope it Helps and Good Luck.

Melanie

VixenDark answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 6:59 pm:
If he does it with some sort of reason, and doesn't hurt you severely, then it is just an old fashioned punishment. If he seems to dislike or regret doing it, then it probably isn't abuse.

But primarily, it is how you feel. Are you insulted as well? Or is it just the general punishment?

Has it been consistent? Is it only when you do something "bad"?

Think about things like that. It doesn't sound like abuse to me, though.

Honestly NO it isnt. your dad only did that to you to teach you a lesson. that is how he raised you. what your dad did wasnt abusive. hope this helps you out.

Well, it depends, really... Is he spanking your butt, or is he punching you in the face?

DancinCutie08 answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 5:16 pm:
my dad does the same thing. although it has been found that it is not an efective way of punishment it is what they did when our parents were little (even teachers could "spank" them) its not really abuse but its no fun. if you call the cops they prob. wont do anything besides maybe recomend you for conseling. just try talking to a school counseler and see what they say and remeber he doesnt do it to hurt you like abuse its just to atempt to make you regret what you did. i dont know how to explain it but abuse is different

sillyrob answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 5:01 pm:
Well, seeing as how spanking is now considered abuse, I'm pretty sure him hitting you is and you can call the cops.

boyproblems answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 4:54 pm:
ummm hard to call however if he does it for no reason at all then yes but some parents consider that like a spanken or sumthing like that but if he repedietly does it and it leaves marks or hurts badly like for more than a day and he did it for no reason at all i would say yes it is hope i helped love boyproblems

jenymca answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 4:21 pm:
It depends. If it's a little slap I would say not, but if its a hard slap, or anything that could REALLY hurt, not just snap you back to sense or anything, then thats abuse. Like my sister used to always say if you lay a hand on me I'll call the cops, but one time when she did bring the cops here they said they werent really hurting her they were just kind of...you know, like a spank is fine for little kids, and a slap is fine for a grown up. But anything that leaves a bruise, a big mark, or hurts really bad then it is out of line.

LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 4:19 pm:
well when you are little, most parents do that. if they beat you repeatedly with a bat, yeah thats definatly aduse. if it was a "spanking" that maybe left the area a little red, no, its not abuse. don't make a big deal out of it unless its like unbearable, know what i mean? I mean, my parents used to do that...it wasnt like a beating but yeah it hurt. they are good parents and now that im older im just grounded or banned from something i like to do. you really have to use the knowledge you have to judge it. in most cases, no its not. its prolly not what you want to hear because your question sounds like you think youre right and just need that little bit more to be confident in your conclusion, but its my opinion. <3

Yes, your dad is abusing you. Next time he does it call the cops so he can't hurt you again.

malibubarbiie111 answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 3:51 pm:
it is considered abuse. but a friggin spork is considered a deadly weapon. so0o0.. yeah. <33 he is probably just punishing you, it`s not like he does it for no reason.-- i guess peoples views on things are different.

xXxpinky615xXx answered Tuesday October 11 2005, 3:46 pm:
Well, to him it seems like a way of disipline, a way to "punish" you, but it IS abuse. It is not tolerated in ANY state of the US, so if you were to call the cops he can and WILL be arrested and thrown in jail for domestic violence (I believe that's what it's called)


If either of your parents lay a hand on you, you can contact DYFUS and be removed from your household, because essentially it is an unsafe environment.


So, yes what your dad is doing is ABUSE.
