Okay so today after Track practice my step dad totally exploded on me. I told my mom to tell him that I was not catholic anymore and he grabbed me and he banged my head on the wall and he started choking me. After that I ran for the door and ran away but my mom got me and they left so I called my real dad and told him about this. Also my older brother called his best friends who his best friends dad is a police officer so this is going to be a court thing. Did I do the right thing?

Assuming this actually happened, yes. Why haven't the police been called on this abusive pig in the past?

Take his ass all the way to court though this sounds more criminal, not civil...

I would say so. I personally don't like making judgments after hearing only one side of an argument, but if he really did choke you like that then his case isn't exactly looking very good.

Um, how will you loose in court? Loosing to someone who assaulted you? Child Abuse is a serious offense.

You won't lose. If he did choke you, then you'll win. Courts are stacked heavily in favour of children in these cases (and often rightfully so). In this case, it's to your advantage :)

If you have any marks on your body, take pictures of them. Take pictures of where he slammed you in the wall if anything happened to the wall. Get witnesses and have them testify (in writing) what happened.

The right thing wouldn't be to report him to the authorities. . . but to engage him in the ancient noble tradition of Samurai sword dueling. To the death. Or till the other one apologises.

Never assume. The court system is in favor of the best interest of children--and typically that best interest is viewed as being with two parents. If he can't prove anything happened, the case will not go over so easily. I've seen it happen.

I believe you did the right thing.


I can't comment on the legal side of things, but if you are telling the truth, just tell them what happened and it should work itself out, man.

What does your mom think about all this? Does she not care about you? She should divorce him...

Someone forcing to believe in something just isn't right... even the abusing part.

I think you made the right choice.

This shouldn't even be a religious debate. The man assaulted you, so of course action needs to be taken. That's assuming you're not leaving anything out of this story.

Yeah also your mom, if you do go to court, there is a high chance you can win the case, your step dad or mom can't treat you like that at all.

Yes, you did. Since he's your step-father he's not supposed to touch you, and what he did is considered abuse. If he were your real father, it alone would be bad, but the fact that he's your step-father makes it a whole lot worse.

The only thing that I didn't tell you is that he got really mad when my mom told him that I wasn't done with my saints report paper for CCD but I am atheist not catholic so he flipped out about it.
