Calling CPS on my parents..?

I am an 11 year old boy. i got introuble and my mom took me down into a position where my mouth was covered and i could barely breathe. From there she took me into a choke hold. My whole life has been like this. I also recently got "beat" with a belt that left 3 "visible" scars on me. Another time she picked me up by the shirt leaving a HUGE scar on my chest it is smaller now but this was only about 4 years ago. I remember another time She literally choked me. FOR NO REASON. I have been raised smart my whole life. that caused me to have alot of "disorders i hide alot" for example i have mild depression and anxiety and i have sever anger issues. she holds me to very high expectations and that triggers my emotions because I cant be a normal kid. the voices in my head have been getting louder the past couple of weeks and more. Nonetheless i am struggling with my sexuality and that makes issues worse also.I live in LAKE ELSINORE I NEED TO GET AWAY It is just going to get worse. I WANT TO GO TO MY DAD'S in Sand Diego but I am afraid my dad will agree with my mom. I refuse to go to a family members house cause they are all basically the same once im there for a long period of time. I dont have the guts to call cps but I REALLY WANT TO GET AWAY i want to get away so bad its to the point i have wanting to hurt myself. please help. what do i do. someone come get me. please.

Ok I have to make this quick but I’m 15 and live in Seatac Washington. And my moms abusive verbally, mentally and sexually. I have video proof of her drunk and screaming at me and getting in my personal space and making e feel unsafe. And well my dad left us 14 years ago and I don’t trust him. To take care of me. Am I able to live with a family friend. Also to note. I have called the police they just told me my mom could force me to be sheltered and be escorted to school and all this ********. Basically giving her 100 percent control on EVERYTHING I DO. And if I wanted to do something about it I could get emancipated. But I can’t cause I haven’t been to school in 4-5 months cause she neglected me and I haven’t been able to do things like get out of bed for a long time. Noted she doesn’t know this . Man what do I do. Im screwed in so many ways and I just wanna be safe .

Hello and thank you for reaching out to the National Runaway Safeline. We are so sorry about your mom’s apparent pattern of inappropriate and abusive behavior towards you and your siblings. What you described her doing to your younger sister was incredibly and unnecessarily mean and awful. It is great, however, that you are understanding of your sister’s situation and can be supportive of her through these really painful experiences.

While we’re not legal experts we do have a great deal of experience working with runaways. So, unfortunately because your sister is a minor, your mother has the right to determine where she lives. If she were to run away, your mother could file a runaway report with the police. This wouldn’t mean your sister would get in any legal trouble or get arrested, it just means that if the police found her, they could notify her guardian and then return her home. Additionally, your mother would have the option to try and press charges against you for harboring a runaway. While that risk does exist, successfully pursuing those charges is typically pretty difficult. You might want to reach out to your local police non-emergency number and ask them what their procedures for and experiences with harboring charges are in order to get a more precise understanding of how things work where you’re at. Another option could be trying to take custody of your sister from your mom. To be honest, we’re not so familiar with those kinds of processes but we would be happy to put you in touch with some legal advocacy that might be able to answer any questions you have about that.

If you are interested in talking more about what’s going on or seeing what other options there may be, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-786-2929 or chat us at 1800runaway.org.

Take care,

I am an 18 year old female and dealt with the emotional and mental abuse of my mother for about 5 years now causing me to suffer from multiple mental health problems and more than a handful of suicide attempts and hospital stays. i’ve reported my mother to the police multiple times but nothing ever happened so i let it go. Now my 15 year old sister is going through the same mental abuse and it is drastically affecting her mental health and overall happiness. Today my mother printed out a letter of my sisters school honours list and named every kids name followed with “this kid is better than you” and calling her a failure. it’s gotten to the point where everyday is a screaming war in my house and me and my sister don’t know what to do and need help with this. my mother has been forced to take parenting classes in the past from my social worker since both my sister and i were adopted. but they didn’t seem to help. i was wondering what the best thing to do is. i recently got a good paying job so if i were to get an apartment would she be able to move in with me as she’s turning 16 this month? should we call CPS and get them involved? or should we just leave and move in with other family members?

Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway safeline, we are here to help and here to listen.
Wow it seems like you are going through a really difficult time right now. You have mentioned being abused, which is not acceptable and we are sorry that you are dealing with all of that. You do have the right to file an abuse report you can do this by calling Child help at : 1800-422-4453. Another option would be to speak with a school counselor about what has been going on because they are mandated reporters they would make an abuse report.
You also mentioned getting all your electronics taken away, which seems difficult if that is how you communicate with your friends. It does seem like you are determined to keep in contact with your friends online and in real life which makes you seems like a really good friend.
It seems like a lot of their punishment is really scary, especially cutting up your plushie and hammering your phone. You may consider talking to a therapist about all of this because it can be really difficult to deal with this alone. One resource that may be helpful to you is called NAMI (national alliance for mental illnesses). They can be reached at 1800-950-NAMI.
Also it may be good to confide in a friend or trusted adult about everything that has been going on at home. Sometimes it is great to have support from family members or friends.
With a lot going on sometimes it may be helpful to call us so we can better assist you. We are here 24/7 to listen and provide support. We want you to know that you are not alone and someone is always willing to listen. We wish you the best of luck!

i am a 16 year old nonbinary kids who lives in texas. i believe my parents have been abusing me my entire life, unintentionally however because their parents were abusive too, thus my parents dont know how to parent. ever since i was little my parents would spank me for getting lower than an A on any grade, and if my mom was super mad she would grab me and hit me several times and then proceed to yell at me. she also threatened to “pull my pants down and spank me in public”. as i got older they stopped hitting me frequently, but sometimes if they get really made they slap me. their expectations of my school work have driven me to tears because i got a B on a daily assignment. they dont enforce grades as much as they did before but they still get on my case a lot about grades. even when i ask my dad for help after he offers and then tell him i dont understand after he explains something to me, he gets irrationally angry and starts yelling.

the main thing is the fact that i have friends online. ive been online since seventh grade, im a junior now, and they found out about my friends late sophomore year. they took away all my electronics and basically isolated me from the people i cared about. i know theres stigma around online friends but i can confirm the people i consider my found family are quite real. i am quite aware on how to spot a pedophile from miles away, as i dealt with cosca for three years with a man who turns 20 this november. anyway, when my parents found out about them they took away my phone, laptop, and school issued ipad. they told me that because i had online friends my grades were low and they told me that i was “emotionally stunted” because i never learned to socialize with real people, even thought i have friends at school. my parents kept all my technology for about a month, and during this time i sought out an alternate piece of technology, which a close family friend gave to me without question. my sister (12) caught me on it, but i told her not to tell, but she ratted on me anyway. this resulted in my parents going absolutely ballistic, and they tore apart my room to try to find the phone. when i told my mom i wasnt going to give her the phone she grabbed me by the hair and hit my until i pushed her away and ran to the guest room. she followed me and kept yelling and interrogating me until i just started scream-crying. eventually i gave up the phone and they made me sleep on the floor in their bedroom. the day after this they acted like everything was normal while i was entirely on edge and scared. i dont know if this was a proper reaction on their part, i guess i had lied to them for several years, but i just dont know. then fast forward a month, my parents give me technology back, and promptly install screen time on it. my mom demands me to give her the password to my phone so she can check my phone when she wants. through all of this, ive kept in contact with all my friends, online and irl, as best as i could, using methods id rather not say in case my parents somehow find this post and take those away too.

once school started, i got tired of screen time and decide to use money i got for my birthday to buy a burner phone for myself. this only lasts me a week, because im stupid and let myself get caught by my mom. i told them that i had bought it myself and had it shipped to me. my mom threw the phone at me, picked it up and threw it again, and then grabbed a hammer and tried to smash it on the counter. there is still a dent in the granite now. i dont know how it escalated but my dad ended up forcing me into the car and driving me to a local mental hospital, yelling at me the whole time about how i “had a problem” and “didnt care about the family” and how im “selfish and dont think about the consequences of my actions”. i mean, i guess sometimes im impulsive, but i have adhd so its difficult for me to do that. my dad kept calling me names too like “piece of ********” or calling me “full of ********”. he ended up taking me back home after thoroughly threatening me and telling me he “didnt want to make me go to the hospital” and when i stayed silent he told me that if i had the fact that i went to the hospital on record it would be bad for my future. when we got home my mom was ready with a drug test, which was a urine sample, and my dad stood in bathroom while i did it, which was humiliating. throughout all this ive been dissociating and trying to remove myself from the situation. my mom called me a “social deviant” and a bunch of other names. i dont remember a lot of that night, but i vividly remember them telling me we were “having a mature conversation” and then they would yell and curse and threaten and call me names. i was hugging my plushie and at one point my mom ripped it out of my hands and cut it up with scissors even though i asked her to stop a bunch of times. eventually they let me go to bed around 12 am and i had to sleep on the couch in our living room. my mom would periodically just come and stand by where i was and just stare at me while breathing heavily. i was pretending to sleep while she did this. i didnt get that much sleep that night.

the next messed up thing i remember my parents doing is after i had a therapy session and my mom found out i told my therapist she hit me. she got really angry and told me i shouldnt think of her as my mother anymore and made me feel guilty for telling someone that she hit me. my parents finally gave me my technology after a fight and my mom shouting “i give up” and “youre hopeless” and throwing all my technology at me. things were fine for a while i guess. i was still scared around them and i still am now. right now they believe i am not online.

over winter break they turned on screen time without saying anything, which upset me and my mom and i nearly got into a screaming match in public so i decided to take a walk while she called my dad to complain about me. she got really mad and called me several times because i ignored the first few because i was angry. she told me i embarrassed her in public and that made her look bad. after that we went home and ignored each other and didnt mention it.

then, most recently, i got upset because my mom agreed with my doctor that my entire family was “walking on eggshells” around me. (my doctor is a family friend who i cannot confide in because she might tell my mom. she has only heard my moms side of the story). my mom told me that if she says anything i will get upset, which isnt true because i only get upset when she says rude and untrue things. she went to bed mad and then the next day when she got in the car to take me somewhere she just started yelling and criticizing me. at one point she said “why are we doing this” and just stopped in the middle of the road, and then got even more mad when i answered “i dont know” and kept driving. then when a care pulled out in front of us to exit a neighborhood she didnt even try to stop the car. we could have crashed. when we finally got to the place where i do my extracurricular activity, she dropped me off and left even though i had my equipment in the car. i called my dad because he was actually being level headed and told him what was happening and he called my mom and talked to her. i dont know what he said but my mom ended up coming back, giving me my stuff, yelling at me, told me that she was “running away, buts not like you care” and then when she turned to leave she told me she hoped i would be happy living without her. my dad had to pick me up and take me home. later that day my dad attempted to mediate a conversation between us but i got really upset. i think it may have been my bottled up anger finally overflowing because i screamed a lot through tears. my dad had ended up taking my moms side because she said i “didnt take initiative and didnt respect her”. its like nothing i do is good enough i guess. my mom got irritated and said “so youre allowed to lash out and im not?” and i got really mad and screamed “I AM 16 AND YOURE ALMOST 50, YOURE THE PARENT NOT ME” i dont know if that was the right thing to do but its over and done with now. i stormed off after that and stayed in my room and my parents didnt bother me. i ended up having to contact the suicide hotline. my mom later came up and apologized but it just didnt seem like enough.

now my parents have turned off all my data, have turned on screen time for me, ******** talk me in their text messages, use the camera in the house to spy on me, and take away random things like the xbox controllers because my mom gets irrationally suspicious. im not sure what to do. my parents are nice too sometimes and put me on meds because ive tried to kill myself several times. they tell me they care about me and feed me and buy me nice things so im just really conflicted. my parents treat my sister like this sometimes but i get the brunt of this. i dont know what im going to do if i call cps because if i am kept in this living situation and we get family therapy it wont help, weve tried it before. i dont know if theyll take my sister from our house either. i just dont know what to do and im really scared. the thing is i dont want to fix things with my parents because i think our relationship is hopeless. but if im removed from my honme they probably wont support me for college or anything like that. i dont know what kind of support cps provides but i just dont want my opportunities to vanish because i report my parents to cps. and if they close an investigation after they tell my parents i reported them everything will get so much worse. please help me.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and share difficult situations like this. It sounds like your dad has been making home intimidating and dangerous for you. His actions are not okay and he should not be threatening you or harming you in any way. Choosing to de-escalate the situation considering your dad has access to weapons sounds like it was a really smart and mature response on your part. This is a scary spot to be in, but you have been doing your best to get through it.

You do have the option to report your dad for child abuse. This would get a social worker involved to make sure that home is safe for you and your mom. There is a resource called Child Help which is the national child abuse hotline and it is available to help young people who are in dangerous or abusive situations at home. They can provide support with making the report as well as talk with you about how to get people involved to intervene. You can contact them by calling 1-800-422-4453 or go to www.childhelphotline.org.

If you ever feel like you or someone else in the household is in physical danger or if your dad threatens you with a weapon, you can call 911 for emergency services.

You have been so strong in dealing with this difficult situation, and you do not have to go through it alone. We want to talk more in detail about what you would like to do so that we can better support you. You can contact us 24/7 at 1-800-786-2929 or use our live chat services at 1800runaway.org.

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

Dad pushed and threatened me

So I’m a 15 year old boy, and my dad who is 68(yes I know thats old as hell for me to be his son), has threatened me in the past. But tonight when he was talking lots of ******** about my 30 year old sister( from mom’s other marriage), I told him he doesnt even care about his wife when he said he doesnt care about my sister, because years ago he broke my mom’s arm when she was drunk. He stormed up to my room and started pushing me against the wall, calling me “dip********” and the usuals. He finally stopped and then I said “get the ******** away from me.” He came back in the room and pushed and threatened me. Now I’m like 2 inches taller than him and probably could have bested him in a fight, but he has access to weapons and I don’t feel like testing that, or be registered as a delinquent. What should I do?( my mom supported me after this). I’m scared ********less that he could seriously hurt me if I even spoke to him.

[ccsmod15]

Thank you for reaching out to us; we are glad that you did. It sounds like you are living in a very difficult and very stressful situation. Not only do you have to deal with the control and complaints from your father, there are the constant arguments between your parents – that lands you in the middle of their relationship. Also, being homeschooled, you’re stuck being at home without the benefit and escape from the house on a daily basis. This is not right and not OK. You deserve to grow up in a safe and supportive home where you are not expected to do all the work and to feel so on edge all the time.
It is understandable that the condition of the house reflects the general unhappiness and depression present in your home. We are glad that your boyfriend is supportive and hears you. We are also glad that you have at least one friend at your youth group.
As far as reporting to CPS, that is always an option that you do have and you can reach out to Child Help at 1-800422-4453 to talk things over with them about what might happen, your situation might fall under the category of neglect. It is understandable that you encourage you dad to make some changes to help his health, and in turn, help you, but it is nearly impossible to reason with someone to make a change. In the end, the only person we can influence is ourselves.
Given that, we would really hope that you might reach out to us through either our phone hotline at 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-2929) or by chatting with us through www.1800runaway.org We would like to talk this over with you; we are here to listen and help.
We hope to hear from you soon
Sincerely, NRS

I'm a 15 year old girl living in southern Ohio. For the most part, I've grown up with a d.ecent life, and one I was tricked into thinking was a normal life, a good life. Over the past few years, things have gotten worse, to say the least.
My dad seems to order me and mom around constantly. He'll have us do 50 million different things for him, things like making him a sandwich done in this specific way, searching around for pills or whatever. Now, I suppose this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't constant. I feel like a servant in my own home. Basically, we're obligated to do everything dad should do for himself, except go to the bathroom, or a very occasional time he needs to look like he hasn't been laying in his own pathetic filth indefinitely. He constantly says this is because he doesn't feel good. He's been "not feeling good" for upwards of a year. I try to say it would help him if he tried to exercise, and if his diet wasn't 80% sugar and sweets. I tell him maybe he should get his act together, get back on his diet, cause this is only making things worse. He never listens, and me trying to help is only seen as backtalk. Additionally, me and mom get yelled at if we don't make sure he has chocolate on hand to eat whenever he wants it. Honestly, its a miracle we can support ourselves. We've been living off of tax returns my parents forgot they had to file for the past month I think, because dad just doesn't wanna work anymore. Or do anything.

My mom has been subject to the same treatment, possibly longer than I have. Due to this, she always seems stressed. She's turning into an alcoholic, and what I think is depression is keeping her unmotivated to do anything either. I'm the one who cleans up everything. The only thing I don't do at home is make our dinners, that's the only thing she'll do. I love my mom, she's the only parent I feel I can actually talk to, but I just can't do everything. I can't keep the house clean, all the while I have schoolwork and all this other stuff my dad wants me to do. Because of this, the house is a mess. My room is the cleanest one in the house, which is saying something. I guess I live in a pigpen. Dad doesn't see that I can't be a perfect little robot and do everything, so he often complains about this too.

He complains about everything. He gets me sick and worried about everything to the point where I never really know if the end times are looming over my head or not. It feels like it. These two argue all the time, or complain about each other to me with me being stuck as the middle man. Mom complains about the reasons stated above, and additionally that he always micromanages her. Dad complains because he expects everything should be done as his command. This is driving me insane. Being stuck in this house only makes me feel worse, its disarray a cruel reminder that I can't fix everything, as well as these two arguing. I hate it, I hate it so much.

I've vented to my boyfriend a lot about this. (Keep in mind it's very long distant, we can't really help each other in person) We've run over options. I'm considering waiting this out until I can drive (if I don't fail any tests then about 6 months) then run away. I'd try to see if I could stay at a friend's house, but I don't really have many friends irl. I've been homeschooled since I was 8, and the only place I can really be with other kids is once a week at the local church youth group. I only have one friend there, and I doubt he and his family could take me in. My boyfriend thinks we should call CPS, but we're both scared of the consequences. I think I agree with him. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline and sharing your story with us, it takes great courage to reach out and we appreciate you taking the step to reach out for us.
It seems like you and your sisters have gone through so much over the years and you seem super mature for your age especially having to go through all of that. It does seem like you all have been in an unsafe situation that seems emotionally and mentally exhausting.
You mentioned wanting to leave and take your sisters with you, we are not legal experts but we do have some information. Because you all are minors if you were to leave without permission your legal guardian can file a runaway report. If the police were to find you guys they most likely would bring you guys back home. One option to consider is to file an abuse report and in the report you could mention that you have tried to attempt suicide and your sister is also suicidal, and talk about how there is a hand gun in the house. Usually CPS would take this matter seriously and do an investigation. You can file an abuse report by calling Child Help at: 1800-422-4453. You can also consider talking with your school counselor about what has been going on and they may be able to figure out a plan and provide resources for you.
We know you have mentioned suicide and we want you to know that you and your sister’s lives are very important and you all are valuable. Suicide is a permeant decision to a temporary situation. If you are your sisters are ever feeling suicidal please call The National Suicide Prevention Line at: 1800-273-8255. There is always someone willing to listen and willing to provide support. You are not alone in this.
You also mentioned that your mother is an alcoholic and that your mental health has suffered. That can be really difficult to live with and can be super frustrating. One resource that you may find to be helpful is called SAMHSA (substance abuse and mental health services administration). They can be reached at 1877-726-4727. Another great resource is NAMI (national alliance on mental illnesses) they can be reached at 1800-950-NAMI.
We hope that this information may be helpful to you in your situation. If you have any other questions or would like to talk more about your situation please give us a call (1800-786-2929). We are here 24/7 to listen and provide support. Stay strong, you are not alone in this! Best of luck!

im a seventeen year old girl from louisiana and i have two younger sisters. my older sister (she is moved out and in a different state) supports my desire to get mine and my younger sisters out of this house. i think a fine option would be to live with my cousins (they live in florida). my parents are verbally abusive and the house alone is unsafe to live in. my father leaves his hand-gun on the couch, under the couch cushion, on the passenger seat in his car (which is where i sit when he drives me to school). my mother is an alcoholic. they aren’t physically abusive, but as a child i was physically abused a few times by my mother when she was drunk. my mother was even considering taking my younger sister out of therapy because she was worried her therapist would contact authorities and my younger sister would be removed from our home. my father doesn’t take mental health seriously, which is dangerous because my younger sister is very suicidal. and it is even more unsafe because my father leaves his hand-gun around. he says it doesn’t matter because we don’t know how to load the gun. anyways, my sisters are 14 and 9, and my childhood was ruined by my father and mother screaming at me, my mother being drunk all the time, my father lying all the time to my mother, and me having to raise my little sisters as best i can because my parents are not proper parents. i need to get us out of here, i am losing my mind. because of the awful childhoods we have had, my older sister developed a very serious eating disorder (my father would make comments about her being overweight, and when she was quite young, he pressured her to work out and get skinny), anxiety, and depression. i don’t have depression, but for five years now i have been addicted to burning myself and cutting myself. and i have attempted suicide once because i was so terrified of what my father was going to do to me when he found out i had secretly been talking to my friends online. you heard right. they isolate me. and when they found out i was bisexual (they’re christian), they made me visit a christian therapist every friday for two hours, to “help” me with my “homosexual temptations”. my younger sister has depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, and she cuts herself. i am very worried about my youngest sister. i don’t want her to turn out like me and my other sisters, just because my parents take away our childhoods. how do i get us out of here? i don’t have a car, a job, or any money. the phone i’m using, i had to secretly buy. it is the only way to prevent myself from going insane from them forcing me to be isolated from the world. i need to get me and my little sisters out of here. what do i do?
