Am I supposed to be a statistic too? I already am. Since I never was checked on by the state of Texas, at 17 years old I had to become homeless. I chose to fight hard for an education to keep me alive and off the streets. My mother Ramona Walden McCasland has about 15 different alliases. I researched the information through public records of Harriss County and Brazoria County. She has been arrested 3 times for family voilence, one including me. CPS overlooked that charge and kept me in the same household to die. I was beaten, starved, beaten because I went to school and the bruises would show. Every ER doctor my mother went to to get her shots of Demerrol never questions why a seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve year old was asking for her shots?? The pharmacies I had to call to get her narcotics? The paperwork I filled out when I was eleven for her disability to be denied and then approved.

My aunt hit her to cause seizures when I was was young. My aunt had HIV and contracted it from her husband, my uncle but did not find out until she had the birth of her son. her son had full blown aids. I saw my aunt on the 13 eyewitness news sueing my uncle for inssurance and the contraction of this disease. my aunt died of alcohol poisening after my cousin died of aids. i saw him die at 8 and she dies when i was 11.

why didnt a nurse or a professional or much less a neighbor question my household?

if you looked at me today, i dont wear it on my face. i know some scares are there but not on my heart to evr wish what was done to me to others/

i know theres a lot worse out there butwhere are they??

Are they kept in a closet after their arm was broken? or beat in the mouth with a metal rod? or cut and burned on their arms and kepts from school? what about my mothers psyche ward stay after i saw her with a knife after my cousins death? i was nine. was that a stable environment? she made me watch and did the most disgusting sardonic evil torture to me. but i lived through it. why did i live through it? to suffer the memories. to know i am a statistic?

A video on my son, who was abused by his biological mother. Justice never served

I really don't know where to start.. So, I will start from the beginning...3 years ago my wife and I had our 2nd child, the pregnancy was horrible for her, she couldn't even drink water without complications. My wife and so were in danger. WE did eventually make it through and our son was born problem free. The trouble was that my wife went into a spiral with PPD (undiagnosed, as she refused to beleive something was wrong with her). She began hitting me first then our 1st son, then it started on our 2nd child, she smacked him on front of both our parents and myself over him getting poo on the fresh clothing she had just put on him. I was mad, her mom yelled at her and my parents sat there stunned.  Not long after that she hit me and busted my lip open over my having a cigar on my 40th. Then she had an affair, I tried to leave but as I was trying to get out the door she shoved me into it scratched me with her nails and threw my clothes all over the living room. She then broke down and started crying, I stayed for her and our children. I took her to counselling for the both of us, She quit because of the high cost, then I found a free service through the Church, she quit that one too. She did get somewhat better and we both tried very hard to put the past behind us. We did pretty good and foudn we were expecting again. This pregnancy went very well, but my wife never really recovered from the other one. After this birth she became very depressed and became even more full of rage. She screamed at me overr dishes placed the wring direction in the drainer, water drops on the floor. SHe began hoarding to the point that we had paths through the house and if I touched anything she would go into a full blown rage. This past Feb. She came home from work in a mood, I had already had the children fed, bathed and ready for bed that night expecting to spend some time with her alone. She creamed at me over her food not being doen her way. I went upstairs with our 2y/o, but he wanted to see mommy. SO, I took him back down while I got my iced tea. I watched as he lay his head on her lap and said "I love you mommy, I miss you. Problem was that his hair got into her salad and she yanked him byt the arm, dragged him across the room and dropped him in front of the TV. I went in, picked him up and told her that we were leaving. Our oldest came running to me and I told him to get some clothes too. I asked for my daughter but my wife wouldn;t let her go. SO Ihad no choice but to leave her behind feeling that once we left she would calm down and get her head together. my wife called me several times and asked me to come home, I told her no, not until she admited and sought help. She refused. We stayed away, I contacted Domestic violence and spent hours on the phone with them, they made me an appt. for Monday. I went then my wife called and beeged me to come home and that she was very sorry and we would get help. I went home, within 20 minutes the police were there, she took a piece of wood and hit me in the head. So, now here we are.....

I am now fighting for custody of my children, I am now in trouble with money, I need another 5000.00 to get through the final custody hearing and I only have 1587.00 left. So what I am asking for is anyone to help me protect my children and hopefully the Judge will force my wife to get anger managment help. Once my eveidence is presented and the childs Godfather speaks (he saw alot of the abuse and depression) things will be much better for my kiddos. My oldest told his principal that he was afraid of his mommy and didn't want her to pick him up from school, so school called police when she treid.

 I have many good witnesses includign the school and police, but without my attorney its all worth nothing. Please find it in your heart to help us..

Hi.  I am a newly seperate mom of 6 (4 at home, 2 in college) who is in desperate need of financial assistace.  My situation is a longggggg story, so I will try to condense it. 

I married an illegal alien (didnt know he was illegal until after our marriage).  I tried to get him legal, but with no luck.  We have been married for 5 years, and in May of this year, he walked out on us.  We have 2 children together, a boy age 3 and a girl age 18mths.  I was (and still) totally in love with him.  The break up is devestating.  But the worst part is that he spent $369,000 starting his business and buying expensive toys.  A Hummer H2, 2 motorcycles, xbox 360/ps2/psp/ipods, boats/waverunners, Motorhome, you name it.  I thought we were doing well.  Nope.  When he walked out he told me, he hadnt made any car payments in months and hadnt made a mortgage payment in 7 months.  Our cars have repossed, along with our motorhome.  Good riddens.  My home is being foreclosed next month.  I need to rebuild my life.  There are no jobs here.  I am well educated and trained, with tons of experience.  But there are just no jobs.  I am hoping to move to another state as soon as the courts will let me.  I am working hard to secure a job elsewhere and find housing.  However, I need to declare bankruptcy ... $1000, and finish my divorce.  My attorney thinks it will cost $10,000 to get through the divorce, since my husband has filed a fraudulent restraining order on me, so that he can steal the kids and run off to Mexico.  I am scared, alone, and don't want to be a victim.  I just don't know where to turn.  I have been to every organization that helps with food stamps, health care, financial assistance for heating, churches, etc.  I am hoping that during my RO contested hearing that I will be able to have the RO dropped and get supervised visitation orders for my husband.  I want him to see the kids, I just can't have him run with the kids to Mexico!  Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.  I am praying someone can help me. I need help with rent, food, clothing, attorney costs and moving expenses.

With two children who are survivors of child abuse I think it is time we all stand up for the children and to put a stop to abuse against our children.  The abusers get off lightly in my opinion... The abuser leaves scars that never heal and it takes years for most children to begin a normal life.  Im proud to say my children have took their power back and no longer live in fear of the man who gave them life, but robbed them of their entire childhood.. Will you stand up for our kids?

Hi, I have a 13 year old daughter with an ex-husband with whom I have shared parenting with. I'm trying to fight for her but don't have the funds, I applied for legal aid and they walked me through the steps of getting a CPO and told me that if I got that on him to protect my daughter from abuse that then they would help me with the custody portion. My ex filed contempt charges on me and legal aid wouldn't represent me. I asked for a court appointed attorney and was denied. Reports have been made to CPS and they DO NOT investigate. I was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but they were suspended as long as I follow the visitation to a T. My ex gets away with everything in that county that he lives in and my daughter continues to abuse her. Please help. Anyone, Please.

Dear reader

PLEASE ANYONE READING THIS! I need a lot of prayer and money to get out of my abusive marriage. I am a hardworking mother of two, aged 3 & 18 months. I am a Child of God.  I try to bring up my kids with good morals & values.  I do not smoke or use any substances at all.  We don’t have a lot of resources in our country for welfare.  The waiting lists are so long and I can’t put my husband’s rage on a waiting list! I need to start a new life for me and the sweetest two angels given to me by God!
The abuse is getting more and more violent and he has threatened several times to kill me already! I can’t get a restraining order before I move, because the house is on his name, and the law in our country does not allow for him to be put our of his own house, even if the abuse is bad.  He has even put a gun to my head before!  PLEASE HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE!!!

Dear friends,

My name is Debbie. I am 34 years of age.  I have two kids aged 3 & 18months.  I am in a abusive marrige of 7 years and I desperately need out!  The abuse is starting to affect my kids aswell, and I can't sit around and see this happen anymore.  I am a hardworking Mother, I don't smoke or use any substances.  I have just made a wrong choice in a partner and now I am stuck!  I earn a third of what my husband earns and the house is in his name.  After car payments and baby formula & nappies, I don't have any money left.  I need to make a break, but I can't afford it financially.  Please - anybody - if you can see it fit to help me out of this nightmare - I would appreciate it very, very much!  I don't want me and my kids to just become a statistic in the newspaper if his rage continues.  To move costs a lot of money, the deposits etc.

Kind Regards

Debbie
