Poof Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 On purpose as like punishment? Is that abuse? Bc that happened. This lady is a bad mom. Her kid is very loud all the time and I think she locked her out on purpose. Kid was screaming crying banging on the door "Mommy open the door! Please Mommy!" She was out maybe 10-15 mins. As i was txting ppl asking what i should do, writing an email to the landlord, and thinking of calling the cops, they rolled up so somebody else mustve thought it was fucked up enough to call them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Definitely child endangerment. Someone could have snatched the kid up at any moment. So, I would assume yes. You can't place your child in a potentially dangerous situation. And in the hallway of an apartment complex, unaccompanied, is potentially dangerous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make an anonymous call to CYS and they'll do a welfare check on the child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the cops visited her and theres not really any other incidents I know about. I feel like remaining vigilant is appropriate action but maybe i just want to remain a bystander?

There's nothing wrong with being concerned. Obviously there is reason for you to worry about this child that can't speak for his/herself. I'm not trying to sway you one way or the other. I'm just reassuring you that there is nothing wrong with reporting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yes, and not only is it at the very least psychological abuse (and possibly physical abuse depending on how long the child is left outside without food/water intentionally). It's also highly irresponsible, I hope there are not pedos in her vicinity. God forbid the kid get snatched while she's being a dumb cunt and not knowing proper punishment and parenting techniques. Reminds me of a story I saw the other day of a woman who punished her son by dehydrating him to death over the course of 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happened to timeouts, groundings, spankings, and taking away kids toys? No need to do this bizarre cruel and potentially dangerous stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to do this bizarre cruel and potentially dangerous stuff. All depends on what caliber of a parent it is. This parent sounds like a piece of shit. Spankings worked for me when I was a kid. If I fucked up, I got my ass whipped, and I never did that shit again. There weren't timeouts when I was a kid. It was a belt or a switch to the ass. My mom would yell. My dad wouldn't say a word. He'd just beat my ass. I preferred the spanking from dad, because it was over in a second. Mom wouldn't spank me, but she would fuss all damn day long. I used to tell her, just whip me and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamped Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Id just call the police. They probably wont do anything but tell her not to do it again. If you're really concerned, call CPS. Theres no negative consequences for good faith reporting. Plus it seems like people are just horrible to children these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think spanking a child for every offence is really appropriate either, and it tends to only be something that young kids pay attention too. I was mostly a good kid but after about 14 I couldn't give two shits about being whipped by a belt or switch (the few times it actually happened). Honestly these days I think the most effective thing is probably to take away whatever they like playing with (video games, toys, ipad, phones, etc) for some period of time and letting them reflect on the consequences of their actions. Then again there was that 16 year old that killed his mother and father after his dad took his ipad from him a while back. Kid was probably a psychopath to begin with though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I feel like not enough parents actually try to explain or guide their kids in the right direction these days either. My father always used to have very long conversations (not yelling) about the consequences of my actions and how I could be doing alot better. This kind of reasoning and explanation I think is extremely important to a kids socialization, at least it was for me. Too many parents want just the punishment or their kid to "stop", but aren't concerned enough to attack the root cause of the behaviour (mental state and thought processes). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents didnt call it spankings, they were whoopings. The last time my mom "spanked" me I was probably 13 and taller than her. It was because of something stupid like not giving my kid brother my lotion because he had his own .... anyway she beat me with the wooden handle of a broom. Mostly I dodged with my wrists but I think she must have thought she went too far because that was the last time. Afterwards she would just yell and go for your self confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My mother has always been extremely emotionally and verbally abusive to me (though it is infrequent and I think it's because crazy runs in my family). I am so not a fan of emotionally breaking down a child in any capacity or yelling at them, and I don't think it has the desired effect either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Why should I bother giving you feedback or input? You’re going to fucking ignore it, anyway. From the way you described it, the kid deserved it as punishment. Fuck, I got worse punishments than that for doing shit. I WISH only punishment was being locked out for a few minutes. Fuck. Anyways, yes, it’s also child endangerment. So, yes, you can, and should, call the police or child services if it goes on longer than 20-30 minutes or so.
