I've gone through abuse myself as a kiddo, and trust me it sucked. Now that I'm an adult now it's pretty much non existant, but yeahhhh it was bad.

I hope your friend's brother is okay you should report to the right authorities asap.

It's good that you're okay now
And yes, I have ^ ^

Yeah I did, also one of my friends mom was a witness and probably a witness of other child abuse incidents. I don't understand why she didn't stop her though.


Good news! the nspcc just phoned to confirm some details and hopefully it will be sorted out real soon <3

You did the right thing telling your dad, and he did the right thing in turn by contacting the relevant authorities. I don't know you or that child, but thank you. You could have ignored what was happening, decied it was "none of your business" as so many people unfortunately do. But you didn't, and I thank you.

No child should be slapped, dragged across the floor, threatened.. that is abuse, and it is wrong. It is illegal to do this to an adult, it would be considered a case of violent assault and battery - with the cigarette lighter adding in a range of potential additional charges (torture being the main one I think). It is absolutely reprehensible for any adult to do this to a child of 5.

My own parents used "discipline" techniques that are rightly illegal now. My mother knows full well that "a little tap" is out of the question for her to give to her grandchild. She can't go back in time and change her choices as a mother, but she can effing well do better as a grandmother now that she knows better. And she does know better. Violence is wrong, and the only thing adults hitting children accomplish is that the child realises people they trust can do things to their body and hurt them whenever they like.. something that is hardly a life lesson most people want children to be learning..

I completely agree, it's sad that some children still get abused nowadays but there's not much people can do if they don't know.
