Dear At the Fence:
I am very afraid and I need someone to talk to so please help.
I am 12 and I live with my mom. My dad also has visitation
rights and this summer I have to be with my dad. I am really afraid of him. He hurts me
emotionally and physically. I am afraid to tell my mom or someone cause my dad hurts me
when I tell the truth. When I open up to someone and tell them what happens when I am with
my dad and when my dad finds out I told someone something he gets mad at me and hurts me
by. (slapping, pushing, telling my stuff, etc...) and my stepbrother abuses me sexually at
night when I have to sleep at my dads house. When I tried telling my dad he told me to
shut up and go to my room and that it never happened that I was just dreaming. But when I
try telling him that it's true and I wasn't dreaming he slaps me and pushes me into my
room.
Help me
Dear Help me.
Please call the police immediately.
What is happening to you is illegal. The police will assign a social worker to look into
this situation and help you. You should not have to go through this abuse. I understand
your fears, but you must get help.
Best Wishes
