We need your help

we teenagers need your help to stop violent parents. violence is not only physical, but also verbal. a parent yelling at a child should be considered child abuse if the parent uses violent language or bodily motions.

at my house, i have a 10 year old sister. my dad is twice her size and twice her height. whenever she makes the slightest mistake he yells at her and uses violent motions towards her. he also has hit her and physicaly and emotionaly hurt her. he used to be her hero. now she hates him. i've stood up for her multiple times and nothing has changed. i dont want people thinking that he doesn't love us and does this all the time. my mom is the same as every other mother, the leader :P. she controls everything. she keeps my dad calm and makes sure that he doesn't do anything when she isn't here. my dad does not work now, and my mom is working two part time jobs. its very stressful for my dad because he feels uneeded because my mom is providing for the family just as well as he did. he doesn't have many ways of taking his anger out. recently i've shown him a few ways. one is on a pillow, lol, the other is writing out your feelings. it works for him, so things are normally better. many other family's are like ours, except their is not anybody that stands up to the violent parent(s). if we can find out more ways to help people remove their anger without doing it to somebody else.

what are your thoughts? what are your ideas? how can we prevent this stuff? i really really want to know

Umm well ppl should try to stick up for themselves if they do i think their parents would maybe think about stoppin the children could call the police show them the scars and see if they can do something if they dont believe then try to get the other parent in and try to get the other parent help or something if we all try to work together to help ppl then our community will be better and maybe if parents dont abuse their kids then the kids probably wont be like their parents when they have kids when they r adults and if they arent then they are better than their parents this is wat i think poeticburst

I agree with the above comments but would like to add that i lay in my bed every night listening to them arguing just wondering when they will break up. It is a cruel and painful torture.
