News of Child Abuse Forum

My mum has had social services on her back for the last 14 years, I went into care when I was 6 years old, I am now 22 today, I feel as if naturally social services is a type of abuse and is a punishment, it messes you up overall. I could look at many other children there, many of them had their troubles, which were various, I have been through a lot more than ...

Trigger warning!

I'm wondering if you were abused/raped as a child. Would there be any internal scarring after the penetration that would be visible if you go the gyno as an adult then?

I don't believe i was abused. There is no proof. And its impossible. And no one will ever nknow. This is not right.

Warning Graphic: I'm not even sure if this is considered child abuse but when I was 7 I was staying for at my aunts house when my uncle sat beside me as we all ate. Soon my aunt and all my cousins left the room and it was just me and my uncle. He started to touch my hand and used it to stroke his penis. I was petrified and my heart was beating so ...

I have been one to avoid counseling although for many it is great, some efforts nearly 20 years ago left me traumatized unable to work.

In recent years the why question has caused me to investigate my life.

One of the things is, that I have survived pretty well, especially considering my childhood.

At a workshop a few weeks ago we were asked to come up with ways we have used to "survive".

Was interesting ...

Hi All,

Mainly, I don't know if I was/am just overly sensitive, or if I was subjected to childhood abuse. In a nutshell, growing up, I never felt a true connection with my dad. He had a terrible temper and would always belittle us, have a negative attitude, and if we ever disagreed with him, he'd try to break us down verbally (or sometimes he'd threaten to hit us). My mom was spineless and would ...

22 (female) I have nothing and no one.


I'm the scapegoat of my family and the youngest of all my siblings. I have endured so much dehumanization and emotional abuse as a child on up.

I've been controlled and verbally attacked since day 1. They have installed fear in me and I'm scared all the time. They tell me how no one will ever love or like me... they tell me how I was a ...

Hello! I am new to this forum. ive actually never been on any forum before, so I don't really know where to start. But my depression, and self worth have been spiraling down progressively for a few months now. My anger is damn near uncontrollable. I feel like I have completely lost myself. And I know a big part of it is because I don't feel comfortable talking about whats going on in my head. ...

Hi, Im a new member here, i have a story to tell:

im a 16 Y/O Male
Its August right now, back in March i was caught smoking, (i will deny that it was wrong by me) My parents did lecture and beat me for that, so i threw all my cigs away, i thought i did not have any left. Until today, when my dad suddenly found a pack of cigs in my room, ...

Sorry not having a good day. Not a happy story to follow. Maybe I need a time out.

I have always believed that many more children die than are ever reported. I remember a case before the coroner of a mother on welfare who could not remember when her little boy "ran away". He was never reported, only the efforts of other relatives who realized he was missing triggered any response by the authorities. He ...
