child abuse
How do I know if what my parents are doing to me is child abuse? They hit me really bad, but it never leaves a mark. They do throw stuff at me and yell and scream and hit me. They verbally abuse me and say God didn't know what he was thinking when he put me on this earth, and they tell me I'm never going to have a job, a husband, children, or friends and they say I'm going to go to jail. They say they love my sister more then me. They say it to my face. What would you recommend doing? Calling child abuse or reporting it. Is what they do to me considered child abuse?

child abuse : the physical or emotional or sexual mistreatment of children
what they are doing to you is considerd child abuse. I think you should deffently talk to someone about this it could be from techer, coach, or you best friends parent, i no it might be hard. But what they are doing is not right. Im sorry to hear this. I hope everything turns out better.

i deffinatly think that thats considered child abuse i think you should call someone and report it

I think the best thing to do, is to first talk to a councelor at school, because they always know what is best. It may seem akward, but they WILL get you the help you need, and help you through everything. If you are home schooled, then yes, you should probably file a report, because it's not fair for you to be hit, and screamed at, because no person relaly deserves that. I really hope this helps.

I have somewhat of the same problem except its my brother not me. so my dad blows up like all the time and sometimes he still does when we have people over like my friends so i tell them like everything and all of them want me to file a child abuse report but i dont know if i can because its not me its my brother. so my advice is to talk to your friends about it they will comfort you. and if it ever gets too out of hand well your friends are there to take you in. then their parents can call someone.
nobody deserves to be treated like that.

Ps- your not alone

What your parents are doing to you, is not only child abuse, its verbal, physical and mental abuse also. You are a human being, and you are capable of excelling and going to great heights, and your parents are in no way right when they tell you that you are never going to end up with anything. I know of these issues first hand, because i had to deal with them at one point in my life. I really suggest you go to a couselor and tell them what your parents have been doing to you, or another friends parent that you feel comfortable and know they will help. Maybe even a teacher also. If anything this has to stop, right now. You do not deserve any of this, and it is never your fault. They are wrong when they tell you these things. I hope you find courage to tell someone, and i wish you the best of luck.

hey. yes this is child abuse. no one should have stuff thrown at them and saying that God doesnt love them, especially when your parents are doing that. you have to report this to someone, whether it is a peer, friends parent, or a social worker at school. say all that has happened to you and they can help you from there. good luck. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥

If this is all true, then yes this is child abuse. You most likely will be placed with foster parents, and possibly your sister too, and they can be criminally prosecuted. If you don't want to call the child abuse hot line, call the police.

i would call the place and explain what your parents have been doing to you lately and ask what you could do about the problem. if you love your parents, then maybe you can let a doctor know and they can explain ways they can help you and your parents. i really hope i helped and if you need me im here for you! =] jennifer

Yes, what you are describing fits the definition of physical and emotional child abuse.
You can call a support line like the Children's Help Hotline or, if you live in the US, call the National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). If you call the Abuse Hotline you will not be removed from your home immediately. The authorities will investigate first, then they *might* choose to remove you. Also, your parents can't find out it was you who reported them. You could also choose to go through a teacher, social worker, or doctor. Those people are required by law to report cases of suspected child abuse.
If you are a teenager, things are going to be a bit more difficult. From my own experience, a lot of people just assume that the teenager is being difficult and the parents are being driven to abusive behaviors (utter nonsense.)
You can find a definition of child abuse, a bunch of other numbers to call and some good advice reading through this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Good Luck and if you need anything else drop me a line.

yes. I would consider this child abuse. Whether they are leaving marks or not, the verbal abuse can leave you with more scars than any physical abuse.
I would recomend telling a trusted adult, such as someone at school. And calling a hotline and reporting what is happening.
I'm not sure of any of the numbers or anything, but I'm sure you could find it if you search online or ask a guidance councelor.
sorry I couldn't be more help
