If you feel you are being abused, tell someone to call, or call 1-800-96-abuse. Good luck.

Edit: I can't believe people on here are asking why you were hit! There is a difference between being hit and spanked. Why not just ask a dv victim why they stayed. Good lord!! You have a right to be spanked, not beaten.

And this has to do with politics because??? OK I had to say that because I think you posted this in the wrong place. Well I am a parent also and would say if you made your dad angry enough to hit you then either stop doing what made him angry and try to help your family get along. OR if he hit you for no reason then it is your duty to call child services and go through all the stuff that goes with it. I may get into trouble some day but when I was young and screwed up I got spanked and when I was a teen I got the belt! And you know what it taught me to think before I did stupid things. so Cat think really hard about this do your parents love you enought o try and disipline you for doing stupid things or do they just slap you around because they want to. I think they love you and want the best for you. And you have to no matter how hard it is do what they say while you are still under their care. You will grow up soon enough and look back on this as a learning lesson. Believe me it will be better for you in the long run to follow their rules and be a good daughter no matter how much you want to rebel. take care and do the right thing!

if he hit you there must have been a reason ,i canot answer this because i beleive in spare the rod you spoil the child and a spoiled child is not worth crap ,i thinks todays kids need a good *** whoppin

Stop being a punk kid and listen to your parents. Unbelievable!!!! You're on the computer cause they're away? That says alot about you. I'm sure you deserved a smack from your dad.

This is one of the problems facing this country. Parents can no longer discipline their kids with out the liberals getting involved. And kids who think that they can do whatever they want. Stop listening to these douche bags telling you to report your parents and listen to your Mother and Father.

Futhermore as I cop if you called me to report some nonsense about your daddy hitting you cause you ran away or were being a little brat I would laugh in your face and shake your old man's hand. Of course as long as we're not talking about him clubbing you with tire irons and the like. If thats the case then you have a problem. If not, GROW UP!

A parent disciplining his child is not illegal, Its not illegal until your legally an adult (age 18 in most states) It doesn't sound like neglect or abuse to me, It sounds like this is probably the first time he hit you and you think its child abuse, Its not.

Why don't you tell us all why you think your daddy hit you. Were you misbehaving or disrespectful in some way or did he hit you just because he felt like it? Did he hit you and you were injured in some way? Does he make a habit of hitting you to the point it could be child abuse? If you were misbehaving or disrespectful to your parents they have the right and the obligation to discipline you. But if at any time you fear for your life, your physical and emotional well being then you must leave as soon as you can and call or go to the police. Tell them what is going on at home and that you are being abused, let the police handle your parents. Don't involve other people unless they are witnesses to what is going on in your home.

I guess it depends why your dad hit you. If you really think about it chances are you probably deserved it. I am not trying to be mean or anything, but being a parent is a tough job and the kids today don't listen very well. If your dad hits you all the time then there is a problem though and you should report it. If it is because you deserve it and you report it you will be in more trouble than you ever imagined. Your dad will also go through a whole bunch of crap because of it. They will also take you out of the house. As hard as it will be for you to believe me the best thing you can do until you are out on your own is to listen to and learn from your parents because I am sure that they just want you to grow up and be a productive member of our society. It will be such a short time before you are grown up and out on your own then you will look back at your childhood and wonder where it went so fast. You will have a huge head start if you learn from your parents and communicate with them now. I wish I had.

Hun, I'm in Ohio and it depends on the county your in ... but were you hit or were you beat, there's a big difference between the two.
I know plenty of parents that have said ... "If you leave, don't come back" I personally don't think that was a bad statement (as long as the child isn't being hurt) ... but everything has to be within reason.
I hope it all works out for you hun...

I know what's it like, my dad was the same, but he loves me, and he always did. Remember your parents love you, and they are there for.

if you are being aboused, you should definitely call child services or just tell someone at school, like your guidance counselor. they will be able to help you

You're a child out of control. What are you trying to do, get on the Murry Povich show? No matter what the schools say, or your silly immature friends as well as the fools in yahoo Q&A who side with you, you are not in control of your life. You don't have the ability to take care of yourself let alone make your own choices. Not the right choices. You are a scurge on society. The very problem with the U.S. today is due to the fact that too many people gave up their rights to raise their own children and now every damn kid thinks they are in charge. When you can pay your own way through life and get yourself out of your own problems or take what's comeing to you, then you will have achieved the right to run your own life. Grow up, act your age, show some respect for those who brought you into this world and stop feeding on the pitty of complete morons.

ok people. she is 13.

We are giving adult advice to a child. that child does not know what to do with adult advice. She couldn't possibly know the repercussions for actions that may be taken due to the comments received here. This whole set up is wrong in that respect. Allowing a child to discuss grown up matters with complete strangers is ludicrous in my book. We are destroying her youth.

Don't feed the dragon. The advice should only be to talk to her parents about how she feels. Let her be a child.

In reading this question and your other posted questions and then reading your posted age, I'm going to have to hang my hat with Dog Lover and Crusnthru.


kserene2
It depends upon your age and the state that you are in. Some states state that you can leave at the age of 17 and your parents can't make you come home. You need to contact your local police department and find out what your options are.


Wonder
Talk to a school counselor.

I believe in spanking my children, but there is a difference between spanking and beating, if you think that you are being beaten then call the police or family services. I hope you are doing well.God bless you.

i'm a probation officer for the juvenile courts in ohio. runaway is considered an unruly status offense. you can be taken to a juvenile detention center if your parents report you to the police as a runaway. as far as your dad hitting you, i'm curious to hear the whole story and your definition of "hit". if essentially he did indeed hit you, then conact an adult you trust and get children's services involved. child abuse is not a joke and not to be taken lightly. if you are truly being abused, then i hope you are given the protection you deserve. but if you are crying wolf because you are just upset with your dad, then cosider the turmoil and embarrassment you are putting him through. i'm not calling you a liar; i'd just like to hear the details.

I know it may not matter but why did he hit you? You can still call child services for help. If he hits you again get out and call the police. You can press charges. What is your mom doing about this? Sometimes we have to take care of ourselves.


John C
follow Mommys advise she is telling you straight


MIssouri--C.LPoultry
you need to talk to your parents... tell them what you feel, even if they get madder at you at least they know, maybe they will understand, It wasnt right for you to get hit, but maybe he was in a bad mood, I hope everything works out
