I'm 16, a girl and my father hit me...?
Tonight whilst I was cooking dinner I heard my mother mumble something about money being gone from her purse... I ignored it not really think much about it then she comes out to the kitchen asking me where is the money?? I calmly said I have not taken any money from you're purse without permission. She shook her head then went into my room to look for it. I ignored this as well because I knew I didn't have the money. She came back out an asked again, this time I was getting upset and I started to get weepy as I told her again that I had not taken the money, all of a sudden my father came running into the kitchen and he hit me several times in my shoulder and face... Not really hard but slaps that stung. He told me that I was not allowed to see my boyfriend until I owned up for stealing the money and that if I continued to steal I would be kicked out... I was very shocked! I have taken things in the past but I have owned up for almost all of them... Is this child abuse? Violence againts women? domestic violence? I feel afraid of him after this and I'm scared to leave my room...

Your father had no right to put his hands on you no matter what he thought you did. That's just how I feel.

Definitely seek help on this. See your doctor, talk to people at school and maybe take women's self defence classes so that if something similar happens you can deflect his hits. You could talk to friends, or friends parents about it and make arrangements incase you can't go home.
If anything happens again where you are assaulted, because that is an assault, go to the police. You can also go to the hospital and they will give you a safe place to sleep, council you, contact the police and other necessary organisations who will also help.

If you did not steal anything then let them find out for themselves, but your parents are having a hard time trusting you. I think after everything cools down, you need to talk to both of them, and explain yourself. Parents always accuse kids especially when you have not done anything. Honestly, if you take this to the law, then he can be arrested, and be jailed up to 4 years for child abuse. But, I don't think that you should go that route. Parents makes mistakes just like we do, but its tough to get them to admitting that they were wrong. Just talk to them, explain how you feel, and show them that you can be trusted.

I feel angry just by reading this. He has no right whatsoever to hit you. That is totally out of line and is abuse. I am very sorry you have experienced this, it would of been quite traumatic.
Please talk to someone whom you feel comfortable with. Call a support line, talk to your doctor or an adult at school they should have a counselor.
Don't take these things lightly.
In simple words your father is a dick.

He had no right whatsoever to do that. You should talk to your mother and tell her how you feel. If not, ask your dad if you could talk to him and say that you DID NOT take the money and that he hurt you. If he carries on abusing you, call childline.

He shouldn't had hit you,unless he had prove that you did took it.You need to have a talk with both,maybe your dad is the one who took it,or they are both playing a joke on you to see if you actually come clean.
