Honey Pumpkin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Shaun, Where do you live? I can give you numbers to call if you like (free and confidential), and they'll be able to give you more advice about what you should do right now. I'm at work in about half an hour, but I'll check back at lunchtime. I know it's really hard for you, but do you think you could talk to an adult you trust? a teacher, a friend, a social worker, a policeman, a doctor? Because you know what, Shaun? I think that you're not being looked after properly by your family, and that really sucks. One of the important things to remember is that no-one deserves to be abused. Another thing to remember is that abuse can be stopped, and we can tell you some of the ways how it can be stopped. Abuse creates all sorts of emotions including feeling frightened, alone, confused, angry, unloved, guilty, ashamed or unimportant. Abuse can be very confusing if the person hurting you is someone you look up to. Also you might feel as though you need the attention given to you by the person abusing you. If something is worrying you or making you scared and you're not sure if it is abuse, it's important to talk to someone you trust. If you're in the United Kingdom, you can call the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000 (24 hour, free helpline). Childline's number is 0800 1111. Link to comment

Honey Pumpkin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Shaun, Just had a quick scan online. You should ring Kids Help Line 1800 551 800 first. There's also Child Care Access Hotline 1800 670 305. This is the advice given on a website for young people in your area in your situation, so I'm just going to copy and paste it Shaun: Support for children and young people If you are currently experiencing abuse or neglect, either at home or from others you know, or if you have recently experienced abuse or are afraid of someone, it is important for you to talk to someone who can support and help you. It might be frightening, but it is important that the abuse does stop. Many children and young people who have been abused describe feeling embarrassed, guilty, ashamed and frightened. They worry that they will get into trouble for talking about what is happening. They worry that they will be blamed. All of these feelings and worries may make it hard to talk about what is happening to you. It is very important for you to know that the abuse is not your fault. There are people around you who will understand and can help. It is important for you to talk to someone who can support and help you. You need to find someone who will believe you and help you to decide what you need to do. You may have tried to tell someone and not have been believed or helped. If you keep trying, you will find someone who will believe you and help you to decide what you would like to do about it. You have a right to safety and protection and to have the abuse stopped. You can try talking to someone in your local area You can ring Kids HelpLine – Ring 1800 55 1800 Free Call You can ring Child Protection Services in your state – Follow this link to find out important phone numbers for you to ring depending on where you live. In your local area If you would like to talk to someone you know already or can access locally, it is important to talk to someone you feel comfortable with and trust. Some suggestions are: Your Mum or Dad A trusted relative Your best friend’s Mum or Dad Other adults you trust The Student Welfare Co-ordinator at your school Your school nurse Your school psychologist Your favourite teacher Your family doctor A psychologist or counsellor you know A local Centre Against Sexual Assault A local Police officer Link to comment
Honey Pumpkin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry I've not got more time just now, I'll log back on in a few hours in my lunch hour, and will post a longer reply!

Back in a few hours! Link to comment

Anastasia_Mixali Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Shaun, I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Please know that I am praying for you and your well-being. Please call one of those phone numbers so that your brother can get some help (he needs therapy). I hope you also get the help you need. You are in my thoughts and prayers, kiddo. Link to comment
Honey Pumpkin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hiya Shaun, Promised I would come back at lunchtime, didn't I? I think what you should do is to call Child Care Access Hotline 1800 670 305. They are based in Australia, and that's a free number and you can call them in confidence. Do you think you can do that? Just tell them exactly what you've said here. If you can't get a bit of time to yourself in the house to make a phonecall, you can always ring them up free from a call box. They will be much better able to tell you what to do next than I can - and they will listen to what you have to say without judging or over-reacting. PLEASE phone them for me, eh? Otherwise I'll have to worry about what's happening with you all weekend, and a worried HoneyPumpkin is not a happy HoneyPumpkin!! Your dog sounds lovely - Selby is a great name for a dog! Post back here, let us know how things are going - there is always someone here who is going to be able to help you, Shaun. Take care ((((hugs)))) Link to comment
