Maybe I overreacted reporting on child abuse on my mother? advice?

Question

maybe i overreacted by threatening to call social services on my mother. Im 16 i was throwing ketchup around in mcdonalds my mom saw it and fliped out on me. She called me a baby told me i needed a high chair and a bib and a diaper on. I wanted to report her for abuse for saying those things to me but now im having seconds thoughts. How many of you would agree with my mother or me in this situation?

Answer 1

That is a bit strange but you overreacted. Your mother just made a joke about you but she wouldn't want to hurt your feelings and still loves you.

Answer 2

I remember you!!!!!

You asked this question before and we all told you to stop acting like a baby!!!!

Yes it was an over-reaction for goodness sake!!!

GET OVER IT!

It wasnt abuse Ed... Start growing up buddy and maybe your mum won't be such a cow...

Answer 3

You were the one being disrespectful, not your mom. You were trashing McDonald's and naturally there sould be some discipline required here.  People at the age of 16 need to be responsible for their actions.  Be more respectful and you will grow in the right direction. Never too late to change. SS usually doesn't get involved in such petty complaints.

Answer 4

I would report her right after you change your diaper.  

Answer 5

You got what you deserved for your actions. At 16 you should know that yours was totally unacceptable behavior in this society.   I would have smacked you good and if you called child services on me that wouls just mean that I need to beat the c**p out of you before they come so I will have a case for them to investigate

Did you know that you will be taken away from your mom and put into foster care?  Do you know what happens to some kids in foster care?  If you do make a case it will from hard to impossible for you mom to get you back and you, will be at the mercy of the system which has absolutly no mercy. Hope you like Foster Dad sneaking into your room at night or the real kids treating you like garbage because you are just the foster child.    some people do not know when they have it good.  In the long run it will be you that suffers from false claims

Answer 6

I agree with your mother. My father called me a s**t one day (way worse) it was just out of anger. You must be really young. Save that child abuse for someone who really needs it. Some people are abused and controlled so much that they can't even have McD's. Your mother was just making fun of you. Abuse is content verbal attacks, beatings, and sexual. In this world you will need a tough skin . Trust me what your mother said was nothing. Go read a newspaper or website and read about real abuse cases. You might feel kinda silly for you even thinking about calling the social services on your mother. Just talk to your mother and tell her how you feel. Always talk first then take actions.
