My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Florida
My mother has been physicaly abusing me. Maybe mentaly as well. Im not sure if what she does is normal. Im 15 and a fairly good kid. For the past 7 years though I have been beaten with numerous objects and have had bruises and cuts from them. Hair brushes, (you'd be suprised) The rods with which you open blinds, wooden two by fours, and many more. As well as just being tossed around like a rag doll. I have on a couple occasions been pinned up to walls in our house by my neck. I have also been punched and kicked. I have called CPS twice but they have done nothing as far as I know. I told my guidence couselor at school once this year and she also did nothing. Aren't they suposed to? I even presented evidence in the form of said bruises and cuts. I have witnesses! What more proof do I need before someone will do something? Both times when I called CPS my mother just bacame more mad and beat me harder. Im not sure what to do. I may just be misinformed as to what abuse is though. As far as mental goes, Im not sure. I have been told that Im a waste of life and air. That she should never have had me and that she hates me. No matter what I do it never seems to be enough. I often get called names that are very inapropraite. **** rhymes with bunt has been the most offensive. Though they all hurt. I may just be oversensitive to them but I dont hear anyone elses parents saying these things to them. I understand that she is mad and I try to do my best and comfort her but she just gets more mad. Does that make sense? When I try to keep to myself though they think Im doing stuff I shouldn't be. I have maybe one or two friends who I dont even get to talk to because Im not aloud to use the phone. What should I do?![]()
