Can I get charges pressed on her for it? Plus she is sending my away in three days for it, please i need your help i'm 14 years old!!

Answer 1

This is so wrong!!! First of all your mother should not hitting you at all (unless if she is just smacking you without exessive force- which obviously is not the case).  

Yes tell someone about it- your father or grandparents perhaps?  No child should be subject to that kind of abuse.  If you want to go to the police ask you family what to do

Good luck  

Answer 2

yes you can. if you are serious write down exactly what happened and take a picture as evidence.

Answer 3

You shouldn't have hit her. Never raise your hand to your mother! Learn some respect especially in your mother's house. Your 14 you shouldn't be saying any bad words.

Answer 4

press charges!!!!!!!!!!!try to get money 2

Answer 5

first you shouldn't been saying curse words. Second regardless of what you did your mother shouldn't have kneed you in the lip!!! Talk to your school counselor he or she will tell you what to do.

Answer 6

Legal you can but it might be difficult to do without transportation and legal counsel.  

Answer 7

SOUNDS LIKE YOU DESERVED IT. STOP YOUR CUSSING AND HITTING HER YOU LITTLE HEATHEN.

IF YOU WERE MY KID I WOULD PULL YOUR PANTS DOWN AND BUST YOUR A$$ WITH MY BELT, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN FOR A WEEK AND WOULD NEVER THINK OF SAYING ANOTHER CUSS WORD.

Answer 8

If she hit first then yes you can report it and should as it is important they know you were provoked but either way they will probably be removing you from your home do to domestic violence but you want them to know she hit you first.  

Answer 9

im not sure if you can ( its abuse though so maybe)

if this was a one time thing and you dont honestly want something to happen to her then odnt do it.

Answer 10

tell someone. like now.  

Answer 11

Answer 12

Um.... You could i guess but that would be stupid. She punished you. And plus you hit her.

Answer 13

yeah you can press charges for that

but it depends on how many times it has happend in the past

does she do it regurly!

Or was it just stress and the spur of the moment gave her a something to take out her stress on.

Or maybe she felt she did it to discipline you as she thinks you are a wild child.

You can call child services either way, you were still assaulted.

Answer 14

no she has no right to hit you and knee you like that

so yes u can press charges

if my mom did that i would have hit her too but harder

Answer 15

abuse!!!!!!!! press charges no mother should treat her child like that  

Answer 16

yes that is child abuse i would have hit her too.

Answer 17

OF COURSE ! And you GO GIRL go hitting her back! Lol...I woud've done the same thing..

Answer 18

I would be having a talk with your mom ASAP. Let her know its not OK for this to happen. If this was the first time I would be happy to go away for a few days let things blow over. If its not the first time you need to talk to someone ASAP. Look your child abuse hot line in the phone book. Or call your school and ask for a counselor.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 19

you can indeed press charges.

but it's your mother unless if she is a bad mother then i wouldn't.
