No. It's not child abuse if it's punishment for something you do Spankings help keep kids from being spoiled, bad-*** kid or just plain evil. |

You might think it's stupid stuff when you grow older you will appreciate the hitting...puts you in the right direction of growing...you have a long way to go.. |

no, unless your left with bruising and scarring then thats ilegal, if your just being disciplined for your actions your mother has every right to discipline you!! |

you're in the 8th grade, I doubt she just hits you for no good reason, you probably do stupid and bratty stuff.... |

Depends.
If its just a smack then its ok. Thats usually how you punish children...
But if its more like a savage beating in which you are actually seriously injured, then it is against the law. |

it depends on if it is just for discipline or if it is just excessive....you say that it's just for stupid stuff also sometimes, i don't really know the situation, but maybe she doesn't see it as stupid...
if you do what she tells you, but she still finds excuses to hit you. talk to a close teacher, a friend's mom, or a church leader...you could also pray. |

Yes, it is against the law.
Your mom has uncontrolled anger. Monday at school, make an appointment with your Guidance Counselor and tell him/her about this. Tell your counselor that you want to get some help for your mom and for yourself. This will not go unanswered. School counselors are there to help you. Please trust someone with this. I hope you and your mom can get the assistance needed. |

She must not be hitting you very hard than, otherwise I'm sure people would have noticed the welts on your arms and legs. |

hmmmm. it depends on ur state i think... but tell a teacher or guidance counselor ASAP anyways... im pretty sure ur situation is child abuse & thats ILLEGAL. |

Your mom can spank you as much as she wants... she just can't leave any marks.
But it sounds to me like your mom is physically abusive... have you told anyone about this? |
|

Yes...it is child abuse....tell your Mom the next time she hits you with a belt that your will call the police....and then do it for your safety and security. Show this to your Mom....she will be arrested for child abuse and will suffer the consequences. |

Try telling her that you will call the cops if she hits you again. Be prepared to live without a mother for a while if you do. |

absolutley and you should talk to your guidance counselor at school and let them know what is happening. Is she mentally ill or on drugs or alcohol or something? Where is your Dad? YOu have to try to get some help for you first, and then for her. It is terrible to hit your children with anything. I was beaten with everything imaginable while I was growing up by a step-father. I have 3 grown daughters now and they all have children and I stopped the legacy of hitting with me. I never hit my girls and they don''t hit their children either. I have so much sympathy and compassion for you and if you can summon up the courage to talk to someone about it ... perhaps your life could get better and your mom could get some professional help |

I'm guessing so. What state do you live in? This may make a difference too. Go to the cops... |

If its done to where it leaves bruises then yes.But if not they can't stop her from punishing you if you are doing something wrong.Go to a teacher or counseler thru school and they will help you.Do you have siblings? |

Yes. Sue your mom.
Yes. Report your Mom, you little ingrate.
Get placed in a foster home in the ghetto.
If I were her, I would shun you. |
