If you had a good strong case of child abuse (against you) and you were still in the statue of limitations to press charges, would you take your parent(s) to court?

Fuck yeah! If someone does something fucked up, they should be held accountable just like everyone else...parent or not. My Mom did some fucked up things to me when I was younger, and I wish I could have taken her to court but she is almighty and it didnt matter what I said.





Depending on your state, you may still be able to (10 years after 18th bday) and have a witness, documentation, etc.
Absolutely, if this is true. Parents are the ones who are supposed to nurture, build, shape, and help us grow. They are responsible for all facets of our lives until we are mature enough to care for ourselves on our own.
Can I ask why someone would wait to tell about the abuse being that they had such a solid case? If the victim was being abused why didn't they seek help? I understand every case is different.





Well it depends, if the victim is under 18 and living/under the control of the parents how would you see a lawyer, etc? Not very easily. And a lot of people are ashamed or embarrassed or scared by their abuse, thinking their parents still have control over them. Same way with a lot of domestic/rape cases.





This is very true ^^^. If a child is abused it could be very helpful for their recovery to someday when they were able to - show their parents that not only was their actions wrong, hurtful, and traumatizing, but they were also illegal, and that they would not get away with it. If the child (or adult now) had enough evidence to win, then yes.





Yes, but it's not that simple.
You can make a report of the abuse to the police. If they feel like it, they will investigate (look at your documentation). Then if they think it's a solid case they'll pass it on to the DA. The DA will do some digging around and talk to you to see what kind of witness you'll make and then maybe proceed. If you've made it that far you'll go before another little jury who will decide to proceed further. Then you get to court.
Or you can sue your parents, for emotional and physical damages. The burden of proof is much lower.





Oh it's been documented in elementary several times (pics of bruises and confessions from me) atleast 4 times, my little brother blogged about it before he commited suicide, etc. Maybe I should try for emotional damages rather than jail time.





Number of times Rickrolled on stage: 6

yea, you deserve the justice SC! and they have to be taught a lesson, it's not OK to treat you or anyone that way. but, think about the long term consequences, what you hope to accomplish by this. im in favor of it, but i would consider talking to a counselor or psychologist before going thru with it. it's good to have someone like that on your side (if you dont already) to help you thru what hardships will lie ahead.
Love it!
