 TELL someone...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Matthew, stealing a car must have consequences, but what you described to me in your story is at the very least cruel and excessive punishment. The fact that your 17-year-old cousin is a part of these punishments and that you have been bound goes way beyond discipline; that IS abusive.

If these things are happening to you, report it to your local child protective services agency. Contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting and give you the number to call where you live.
