Hi my 16 year old daughter was in a long term relationship with a young lad who from the outside seemed a nice lad, so did his family but this was not the case.
She was 14 when she first entered the relationship, he was 16..but my daughter has always been very mature for her age and i was happy for her to see him.
She is no longer with this boy, he abused her the entire relationship and i only found out about most of it after it ended. She has since reported him to the police for assault and emotional and physical abuse. And that is being dealt with. What i didnt know was the abuse and emotional abuse she had encountered at the hands of his family whilst she was in their care.
Being that she is a minor and was 15 for much of the time this happened would i have any grounds to put a child abuse claim against his parents.
Put downs, calling her fat, commenting on her hair, her clothes, and refusing to knock the door to enter the room where she would be changing etc, encouraging her to keep things from her parents and using stuff they had bought her against her, even though she never asked for anything. Convincing her that what her son had done was ok..ie smashing her head of his car window, they claimed..he only pushed you so he didnt hit you did he? And your mom doesnt need to hear about this?
Absolutely disgusted how anyone could act this way and belittle a child or defend there son like they have. If my son touched a woman, he would be in so much trouble regardless as to how old they were.
