I'm 15.My dad flips out & breaks things all the time. He kicks me out and scares the piss out of me. When my mom isn't home and he is doing something, if I don't find it he hurts me, not seriously hurt though. My mom hits me everyday and verbally abusses me everyday. My 17 year old sister beats me every day, &calls me names everyday. My 9 year old sister kicks and punches me all the time too. The only reason I haven't left yet is because I need a home. Way worse things can be detailed but I prefer not to. I need to know if I should leave this place? Please answer asap I've have enough. I've been dealing with this for 9 years. Please help!

What country are you in? Call Child Protective Services or tell a trusted teacher to do so, and your family situation will be investigated.

Why be scared? The title of your first post says you want foster care because you live with people, even a younger sib, who hit you all the time for no reason. So time to talk to a responsible adult about this.

In Canada --

Monday to Friday, 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. and all day Saturday, Sunday and on statutory holidays, call the Helpline for Children. Dial 310-1234 (no area code needed).

After Hours Line
For emergencies outside office hours (8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday).
Vancouver, North Shore Richmond, call 604 660-4927
Lower Mainland, Burnaby, Delta, Maple Ridge, Langley, call 604 660-8180
For the rest of the province, call toll-free 1 800 663-9122
