Kids, Abuse and Injury: Solid case for the defense

Solid case for the defense

By DT_tasha - 11/09/2022 15:00

Today, our mom hit my brother's head hard against the wall. He was taken to the hospital with a head wound. He came home in the evening, and said that his mom told him to say that it was his sister who'd hit him with a ball. My brother had told me the story and I'd recorded it on a tape recorder. FML

Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML

Today, my brother threw a mug at my head and threatened to stab anybody who came at him because I woke him up for school. I called the police after threats were thrown at my mom, who then lied to them and said I overreacted. I'm currently getting the silent treatment from my family. FML

Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML

Today, I was tripped downstairs as a "joke" by my little brother. When I was yelling in pain from my broken arm, my mom was lecturing me to be thankful "one goddamn day a year". She also thinks I'm lying just to hide that I'm clumsy and my brother is innocent. He won't admit it. Happy Thanksgiving. FML

Today, my son broke his arm roughhousing with his brother on a bunk bed. While at the ER, he thought it would be funny to tell a different story to each doctor and nurse, forcing me to speak over him. They found this behavior "suspicious" and reported us to child services. FML

Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML

Acting out

Today, I was running to my car, slipped, and slammed my head on the car door. I started driving to the hospital because it was bleeding profusely and I was dizzy, I called my mom to tell her what had happened. She said I was grounded for "goofing off" and that she was "sick of my shit". FML

Today, my brother accidentally hit me in the throat. After I stopped coughing, choking, and feeling like I was going to die, he came back into my room, quietly said "I know your weakness," and left. FML

Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML

Yeah, no, straight to the proper authorities with that crap.

No matter what, get all of your brothers/sisters out of that house and call Child Protective Services. That level of abuse is illegal for a reason. Your lives are each worth the new home you can receive. CPS will work to keep siblings together and not separate.

Are you sure you didn't hit your head on the wall? Your first sentence is a jumbled mess. Good thing you have blackmail material on your mom -- these situations usually resolve themselves happily and peacefully.

She probably has gotten her fair share hits and is confusing words... Usually people recognise abuse on closed ones, but not on themselves.

Call the cops and your local equivalent of Child Protective Services. If not for yourself then for your brother.

Report! Even if you don't want to, you should report it immediately if something goes wrong with the injury you could be charged. Ensure that you do not get pulled into this mess, cover your basis and please report this abuse to authorities, child services if your brother is underage. This is serious, head injuries can carry devastating results even after the time has passed.

Is it me or at least two sentences make no sense?

Talk to a teacher or someone you trust. You need support going forward. However, it plays out. What your mum has done is not right. Once, issues have been addressed. You can all move forward and hopefully build a new relationship of respect.
