As someone old enough to be your grandfather I will tell you no parent has the right to abuse their children. Some parents think that what they are doing is discipline; but there is a point where discipline becomes abuse. When that point is reached; when the spanking becomes a beating, or a belt is used instead of a hand that is abuse. When marks are left on the child that is abuse. Discipline does not leave marks. There are many other forms of discipline that meet the abuse standard that I need not go into. I think you know if you are being abused or simply disciplined. There is also sexual abuse and mental abuse both of which are not only harmful but illegal as well.
IF you think you are being abused; this is a very serious accusation so be sure, then you need to go to a trusted adult and report the abuse. You can go to a teacher, your school principal, your guidance counselor or any hospital emergency room.
If you live in the U.S. you can dial 911 or go to the nearest Fire Station. Anyone of the people or places I have written about here are legally obligated to take action on your behalf. The Fire Stations are safe havens and the fire fighters their will care for you while the appropriate persons are contact and come to your aid.

Your questions are posted anonymously. Nobody knows who you are to call anyone if they wanted to.
If you WANT someone to call social services, you would have to post personal info like your name and address in your question. If you want some help, and you gave out that info while asking for someone to call for you, then I promise somebody would. Otherwise, no. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]
