My sort of friend's mom is a witch

Okay my friend (I really do mean friend her name is Vanessa) and her mom hits her and her sibs. I tell her to tell the police or CPS but, she's scared and says there is no physical evidence and that if she tells her baby sister will live in a foster home...

(possibly). If anyone who answers this calls the cops and tells them about this keep in mind that you are not helping the situation really. I mean my best friend told me this and she is scared. I know you mean well but, whatever will happen to them in the end isn't worth it. Thanx, God bless ya!

wow I had a friend that her mom hit her to and even threw things at her like a soda can that hasnt been opened and things so she finnaly told cops and she was put in a foster home which made me cry cause I never saw her again but later out I came to know that her dad had malested her also but you need to do whats best for her if she is put in a foster home then its for the best cause then she wouldnt have to go threw that everyday!
hope best comes to best!

wow that is awfull... it's good that your their to support her. what is the question?

A foster home is not good, but growing up with physical, verbal, and or sexual abuse is even worse. Reporting will not automatically result in foster care, and may save her life.
Good Luck!!!

A lot of times when there is more than one child in an abusive household social services tries to keep them together in foster care. Sometimes if their is another relative to take them they will also put them there.

Try to remember that if she does nothing about this, it could get worse. She only has about what, 2 more years to put up with it, but does she really want her baby sister to deal with it a lot longer?

Sometimes the worst thing that you think could happen turns out to be the best thing. Think about getting her help because as a friend you should be there to protect her. You can't protect her by doing what she wants in this case. And she is not protecting her sister by doing nothing.

Good luck and best wishes

it is a fact that children who live in abused settings whilst still in them, would prefer to love in abuse, than venture into something unknown...the expression 'better the devil you know, than the devil you DON'T'...

parents are MASSIVE influence over their children, and unlike children who live in a homw without fear, those abused children KNOW the terrifying side of the world, they live it.

if I were you, I would speak to my teacher. teachers are excellent at being in a position to move all the people into the right place, make observations in the childrens behaviour changes and spot any physical indications of abuse (not just bruising, there's flinching, body language, the reaction when the parents are mentioned - all sorts)

but three children in the UK alone die EVERY WEEK at the hands of their parents...I would like to think that I would pipe up before it's too late. yes they may go into care, but your friends is old enough to request that she stay with her siblings and they are homed together, children arn't like cat shelters that get given away one at a time, the state does endeavor to home them all together...

what a horrible position, but your friend needs to be made aware, that maybe she needs to be the 'voice' that speaks for the abuse the children are getting...

speak to your school teacher or nurse after you have spoken to your friend. tell her you love and really care about her, and no matter what happens you will be there...but if something goes really wrong, although it's not you or your friends fault, you will feel gulty, when the only person who should feel guilty is te one causing the pain (never seems to work out that way though :O(
