    Reporting Parents
    I am a 15 year old girl and I always have trouble at home. Their temper would set off so quick and I have nothing to do about it. Is there any way that I can report parent abuse and bad children treating? PLEASE HELP!!

    Hi! I see from your other post that you wish you could get replies sooner... it might have something to do with the time. Where in the world do you live? Many responders here are in the US and Canada, so you asked when most were/are asleep.

    Are they hitting you? You can't report parents unless there are visible signs of abuse, such as bruises, or in rare cases, if you are locked in something like a closet or cellar and can convince an adult of it. (Teens tend to exaggerate and make things up, and unfortunately this means that some genuine abuse does get not believed).

    Fighting verbally is just something children have to try to avoid, sorry.
    Tell us more about the situation and maybe we have suggestions.

    Talk to a counselor at school.

    But what do you expect will happen?

    I would talk to another trusted adult, a family member you look up to, or a school counsellor, or teacher.

    From your posts this sounds like serious abuse. Go to the Police with the details. If the complaint is founded or appears legitimate the abused person is usually put into a foster home and the parents can be put in jail.

    Of course, it depends on the level of abuse.

    I am guessing from the way you use English that you are not in the US or UK. I don't think any countries allow child abuse, however.
