Teens being abused by parents
Back to 'Violence & Bullying' forum.
My name is Stoney Ervin and I have been abused for 7 years and am 14 years of age. I have been forced to eat trash from the dumpster, Ive been told I'm going to hell, And have been hurt in EVERY way. The sick part is that my parents are rich so they have no excuse for not feeding me and they wont let me leave for some messed up reason. It is my Mother and Step Dad and I have tried to leave more than once but because my Mom's the Ector County Attorney I am not able to. She even threatened to send anyone in my family to jail if they let me live with them. I am so scared that even though I am very popular at my school I have not told anyone. Please is there anyone like me.

As a mother of a 14 year old daughter myself, I can not and will never understand why this is happens and how a mother could not always want the very best for her child and always do everything to keep her safe and happy. Your mother does not deserve the title of being a mother and to have a wonderful person like you in her life. Unfortunatly there are way too many people like you that think there is no where to go and nothing they can do. When i was young i moved out of my house at 15 for various reasons. I was befriended by many young people like yourself who were abused and or neglected by thier parents. They ran away to live a life on the streets because it was better then what they were living, a life with no love.
I hate to say there are people out there like you, but there are, way too many. You all deserve so much more from life. Never stop beleiving that you deserve better, that you deserve everything that life has to offer, that you deserve unconditional love, always.
There has got to be someone that can help you, an organiation of sort that will go around your mother and her "connections". Have you considered talking to your counseler at your school and explain the severity of the situtation and the threats your mother has made?
Are you in Odessa, Texas? Is that where Ector County is and your Mom is County Attorney?
There are people out there who will help you is you are asking for help.
I will keep you in my prayers.
that is so sad im so sorry for what you have gone throw
I feel for ya bro just remember that there is and always will be a way to escape the strangle hold of an abusive household or any uncomfortable situation. Never let fear of what might happen discourage you from doing what is right and what they are doing to you is heartless. If you organize a group of kids from your school and parents from your community word will spread and you will have a structure of support.

wats good hey wats up you no the world is not perfect but we can make it better
wats good hey your not alone i no all about it things will get better do something about it take it easy and keep your head up
hey life can be hard trust me i was abused by my parents and by my boyfreind but it will get better i promise!!!
Okiesz well I'm not going to be like everyother person who has commented saying it'll get better cuz if you don't do something to stop what your going through then it won't. You need to find some wayy even if your mom is being this wayy. You will have and find some sort of support one wayy or another.
Well... What I can say is that, first off there is no reasoning for this to be happening to you. They're treating you as though you are nothing. I would say that you should tell someone at school, not one of your friends, an adult. Go to a teacher that you turst thee most, tell them what is going on. And see if there is anything they can do to help you out in the best way possible. I hope that nothing worse happens to you, and that you tell someone and get the best help possible.
No you are not alone. I am 15 and my friend was raped by his mom last night and she held him down while his siter scratched at him. his back looks like raw meat no joke. This had been going on for 4 years and i dont know if i did the right thing but i caklled child services..
any advice i can give you as a 15 year old girl would be tell someone
ur counselor ur teacher or child services
Im very sorry for what is happening to you but you cant be Scared to stand up to them you neeed to talk to a scool counselor, Friend, Trusted adult, Teacher, friends Parent, Etc.. Becuase you dont want this to get more out of hand and i dont want you getting really hurt or even worse! You need to tell somebody because you cant just let them do that to you and im sure if you get help it will all turn out better than what you thought it would! I hope that you get help and will be okay! Kirsten! :)
ive had the same thing happen to me. Its so hard and i know. Its hard to grasp why your own parent would do that. You begin to not trust anyone because your afraid they'll hurt you. I have gotten help from a teen group with kids that have had the same thing happen to them. For now, I talk with other kids that have the same thing and it helps to know that other people are going through the same thing. There are ways to get this to stop. TALK. I was afraid to as well but i swear on my life it helps. Talk to someone who can do something. CPS (Child protective services) are great (most of the time) they helped me get out of an abusive home. My group leader is also a great person and I can call her whenever i want if something is happening. Also talk to someona @ school. They have usually good teen helplines to call like teenlink which are good. And lastly DONT GIVE UP. its a long road to get over it. I'm not thats for sure. But you can do it. I know that your gonna want to shrink away from friends and other people but you have to stay with them. Tell them whats going on. There are orders you can get from the government once you get away from the abusive home that will make sure you stay safe. There are so many people that want to help you, you just need to find them
I hope this helps,
Olivia
First i would like to say that im very sorry what you have been going trough , and that your very brave to go through that everyday . I would call the police or anyone that would listen. There are people out there that will help you. Stay strong.
" Be the change you wish to see in the world"
i will pray for you stoney. God can help you through this now i know that you are questioning him asking why did you let this happen to me lord its not fair. Truthfully i dont get why he lets it happen either.I wish i could give you a better answer than this but i cant. Pray for him to help you get out he will help you. Just keep holdin on
♥Always

Stoney, Just because your mom has a title in the county doesnt mean she can send anyone to jail. Thats not true. Go to your principal. Tell him whats going on. Let him know you are in danger. If you need help I will be here for you. Just let me know. I can help you. I know people in the government. Stay strong and clue me in.
aww thats sad...i have friends tht get abused by their parents and they are like always somewhere but home like at my house. i try to help them out but they say its no big deal...what do i do??
Dont worry, u r not alone I was abused to. Not by my mom but by my dad and his side of the family. Dont ever think that u r alone in that matter because ur not. It might not have been the same kind of abuse but I was abused to. I was abused in many many many different ways. I am also only 14. I am not abused anymore but I do know how u feel.
My bestfriend was physical abused by her mother wile i was on the phone. i had her on speaker so my brother and his bestfriend/my bf could hear it and we all herd her slap her. so my brother called the cops. the cops came and talked to her parents then talked to her. she told the officer that she was slaped by her mom and that her bestfriend herd it all. the officer said that you can hit a child if your punishing them. My friends mom was not punishing her. My friend also told the officer that she doesnt feel safe in her home and the officer said that he couldnt do anything. that shows how the police department in my city sucks!
My name is Amanda. I live in Skokie, Il. I have this really good Friend who is a boy i call him my brother. One day while me and my friends were walkin home "my brother" was walking down the street crying so we stopped him and asked him wat was wrong he told us that after walking into his house his mom attacked him for getting his phone takin away at school he said his mom grabbed him by his neck thru him on the couch and stated puching him in his face.... by the time he foundus he had a busted lip and a really swollen eye also he had red marks across his neck from where his mother grabbed him. now my first reaction was to call da cops but instead we called the school and talked to our pricipal who got him all the help he needed my advice is to talk to an aadult not a family member though just someone at ur school like a social worker or pricipal and ask for help speak up dont hide... let someone know your not safe!!!
sicerely,
Amanda
P.s.
I hope this helped
that is a very stuck situation maybe by talking to someone about your problem like a counselor or someone who can help you would be a really good idea. i hope your going to be ok and that you find sanctuary in some place

Yes,
I am very much like you. I feel so bad for you. My story is not the same but very similar. Being afraid is your worst enemy right now. Go for help, not at school then go to someone you know really well that is an adult and fight for your life to thee end. I did that for my brothers and sisters...the youngest was only 3 yrs old at the time. I did everything anyone could think of to get away and i made it. call an attorney some where your mother doesn't work, call a guardian atliteum, and freak out untill you get out, but don't get in front of your parents like that. Surprise them. Go to someone.
I am so sorry.

That's all it will take. Be strong, be brave and be the owner of your own body and mind. No one has the right to treat you like that, NO ONE, EVER. You are the boss of yourself and you have the right to protect yourself. Your mother being an attorney in Ector County means nothing...it's a small county and really, it holds no weight or power in the big world of child abuse. You are in power now.
Good luck sweetheart.
Hi, do_whats_right:
Great job helping your friend out. It was the right thing to report it and don't ever doubt it. You will be helping your friend in the long run and the truth about such atrocities must always come out and be stopped.
Great job and God will bless you for helping someone else.
Call child services or the cops.
thats soo crazy. thats mad mean . i hoineslty dont understand why do parents do thats stupid and just real dumb &+ yea youshould call child services
Thats The Most Craziest Thing I've Ever Heard I Mean Sometimes Children That Get Abused Are Becasue There Parents Arent Working Or They Get High Or Drunk But For You There Is No Reason Im Soorry What Your Going Thru And I Hope One Day Your Mom Finds Love And Happiness Wht You. Don't Let The Pain Fear You.
I'm so sorry to hear that that is happening to you D: I hope something happens to your advantage, and soon! I'll be here to talk to, if you want. My Hotmail is: metaldragonmaster01@hotmail.com, please talk to me whenever you feel the need to.
Dear Stoney .,
It hurts me to know that you have been treated so bad by your own parents. I am doing my Senior Project on child abuse and I am going to start a campaign to stop Child Abuse. I am from Philadelphia and have many friends who have been abused by their parents. I will keep you in my prayers. Please reply back and if you need anyone to talk to feel free to write back or email me at nrosa215@gmail.com
Hey stoney, im dealing with a similar situation with my dad. hes only hit me a few times, he beat me up in our bathroom once, but it wasnt 'that' bad. he is constantly threatening me, he has probably called me every insult there is. why he does this? he says i need to change and be a better person. i have no idea why i need to change, i am in no way a bad kid. i see who bad kids are and im not like them, my grades are As Bs and Cs (im in highschool, sophomore), i come home every day at the right time, i make dinner for our family, i let our dogs out every day when they need to be, i take out the trash every thursday, im hygenic, and im overall good. I mean yea i do forget maybe once in ever 6-7 weeks to take out the trash or dinner is an hour late on the table, or i might not be doing well in school, but im human, I MAKE MISTAKES TOO! he doesnt see that though... but he thinks me selfish and untrustworthy. i have no mom, she died when i was 9, and my dad has had depression since then, and he has extreme mood changes (i.e. like hes extremely calm and relaxed and nice before he goes to bed, but when he wakes up hes furious with anger, throwing things, and screaming, it scares the hell outta me) and ever since i hit the age of about 11 these problems have been occuring, his expextations are ridiculous. i want to tell a counseler at my school but im afraid he would be even more mad at me, and lash out worse then ever before. i also just want them to take me away to foster care or something but i dont want him going to jail or anything, i just want to leave. it seems so impossible.
Stoney, many teens our age are dealing with similar problems. im not christian so i cant put you in my prayers but i will hope for you bro. stay strong.
I was abused from age 7 until I moved out at 17. Like yourself, my social standing is great and none of my friends knew about it. I tried to kill myself when I was 14, 15 and 16. Finally, I was sent to a Pychiatric Hospital and diagnosed as depressed and bipolar. Get help before you put yourself into a manic and depressive future. Your parents have no right to harm you, no matter what. Just keep asking for help until you get it. Don't think the only way out is death. I've even been able to forgive my parents. Get help, get away from your abusive parents and get into therapy. Even if you don't think you need it.
i know how you feel. not exactly, but i am abused as well. i know where you come from on this. im sorry that anyone has to go through this, and i feel your pain.
what i live through every day:
hi, my name is hannah. my family (only my imediate family) does not like anything about me. this all started when i was 5. my mom hit me, and left bruises and scars and told me to tell my friends that i had fallen. i used to think that everyone was treated that way, i didn't know any better. but, when things started to get worse in about 2nd grade, i realized none of my friends had any cuts or bruises on their arms or legs. i began to question my life that had turned to nothing but a lie. to this day, i still question my existance. i am hit, pushed, pulled, punched, thrown, and lied to by my mother, father and sister.
i am the only one in my entire family that this has ever happened to. my sister is 'perfect' in my parent's eyes, and i have tried to live up to that name, but with every try, i fail. i am hit harder and harder until i can not sit. right now, as I'm typing, my back hurts. early last week, i was hit, pulled, punched, and pushed all because my father said i could stay on the computer until 11 PM. my mother grabbed me by the arm that i had messed up earlier this year by falling at school, and took my other hand, that i had fractured late last year, and pulled me around the office. when i could finally break away from her, i sat in the swivel chair, and my mother came up behind me and punched my back so hard i could barely breathe. it is still red, and hard to sleep on at night. both of my arms still feel as if they are being yanked out of their sockets, and made my injuries worse. and to top it all off, she pushed my chair into a printer that is on the floor, and hit my ankle. it was swollen, red, and black and blue for a couple hours. when i could finally break free of her strength and run, limping, to my father who was half asleep, i was yelled at, almost tripped by her, and pushed into a wall. i ran to the office, shut the door, and locked it. i stayed in there for about 2 hours. when i got up the courage to run to my room, i made the escape. until last week, i had never been so terrified in my life. i am truly scared for my life if i have to live in my house with my parents and sister.
i have not eaten dinner for a month, until tonight. i would not shut up about it, so she finally gave in. you may think 'why doesn't she eat what she has at home?' but i am not allowed to get food from the market that lasts for any length of time. i can honestly say that there is no food in the house that i can eat. and my parents are totally fine with it.
i am through with trying to be someone i am not, and the only way that they will stop is if i become a mirror image of them, which i refuse to do. i don't know what to do anymore, and i am running thin of fighting for my freedom. every time i try to talk or explain what they're making me feel like, i am frowned upon. i was also told that i need to be locked up in a mental hospital. they ask me whats wrong and i simply reply with a one-word answer, 'you.'
but the physical abuse is not whats killing me inside. what they say to me is. they all call me stuff that i don't dare to repeat, and i haven't heard and 'i love you' or and 'i do care' from any of them since i was 3 years old. i haven't ever, in my life heard an 'I'm sorry' or an 'i don't mean for you...' i am dying inside, and they don't want for me to talk to them about it.
good luck,
hannah
p.s. im really sorry that anyone has to go through this, and i had no idea anyone had it worse than i do. i cant even imagine how hard it must be even being in the same room. i wish you the best of luck with all this. and i hope it doesnt continue. i know how hard it must be to try to have hope, but it may be all that you need. and if you tell anyone about this (ie the cops or a social worker, try to not let them know you told anyone, at least until last minute). and even though it may seem like there is no way to get out of this, there is always hope, and if you have trustworthy friends, you have them. i wish you the best of luck, and i want you to know you are not the only one out there. i dont know you, but if you need any help or someone to talk to, you can comment back. i know how much pain is in this, and understand if you dont wish to talk about it, but, as hard as it is to believe, it will eventually get better. youll be able to move out, and when you do, you dont have to legally keep in contact with them. i hope it gets better soon. have hope.
Dear Stoney;
I am so sorry that is happening to you. I never really thought that people can have it worse than me. I know how you feel lonely, unloved, confused, and depressed. If you let that getthe best of you, you'll get in some type of mess. But for your own mother, to do that to you is a really sad. If I may ask...Where is your biological father in this picture? And just because she holds a title, doesn't mean she cant get in trouble. There are laws to protect you, she should know that. Please what ever you do, don't ever think ending ur life is worth it. I bet you have a good head on your shou lders. If you need someone to talk to, and cant seek out friends or an adult that you can talk to give me an email mariselarodriguez91@gmail.com and this goes for any one. I will go to proper authoity if you like to get you in a safe enviroment. Dont think of me as a stranger. I am open for discussion at any time.
I know that it may be hard to tell friends. But there are times that you tell someone that will open their mouth for you. So what do you say hey do you need my help? I can get lawyers, judges, and a community to back u up if this goes all wrong! Promise!
Love always
marisela
And maybe u dont believe in a God, but there is one. i am not a religious lunatic, but prayer helps. I will pray for u!
Is that still going on? If so there are multiple things that he/she can do. The cops say that because they believe that this will start some kinda of thing that kids will call the cops on the parents for any reason. Email me; mariselarodriguez91@gmail.com, if there is no type of services I can do a rally or something I go over and make something happen for the best and protection of kids.
I am here. If ur friend needs to talk have them email me.
