    Default Can I Get a Restraining Order Against My Dad

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: wisconsin
    My dad recently put him hands on me I'm 16, to get my phone, he grabbed my wrists and pinned me to the bed than dug his nail into my thumb to get me to let go of the phone, he's never put his hands on me before and I was so scared I stayed in my room all day, is there any way I can get a restraining order on him, I'm scared he will do more next time he gets upset with me

    Why did this happen?

    There's a world of difference, for example, between his taking your phone from you because you were trying to call 911 about his beating your mother, and his taking your phone from you after you refused his instruction to give it to him.

    Who were you trying to call?

    Before you can even hope to get a restraining order, you will almost certainly have to report this to the police. The police will ask dad what happened and why. What will dad tell them?

    So far, based on what you have conveyed, dad was simply enforcing the instruction for you to put down the phone, which you decided you were not obligated to comply with. I see nothing wrong with that.
