OT child abuse

[30something13]

There was a post on another forum where a 17 year old girl tells how her friends DH ( her 17 and him 20) holds his hand over the 7 month old baby girls mouth when she crys and will wrap her in a blanket and cover her face and then cover her mouth for disipline! He says she has to learn!

I am cring over this and tried to call someone to see if they can find out who this baby is, and nada:(

I hope this girl takes everyones advise and calls CPS!

She had asked if what he does can raumtize this baby and the mom crys when he does it:( :(

This is horrible! Please anyone who is young, and I know of no one here, you all young new mamas seem to be very caring about your babies! who would think this would not be abuse!!!???!!! He hsa problems and if he would do that then I would say he would go further and lots of babies have gotten killed in that very manner! Poor baby! I can only hope someone sees and helps that baby!

Gokuangel- i just read about baby Briana. I couldn't even read the whole article. As a mother my heart is breaking for her. There are just some really sick people in this world.

Well if she lives in my town I will happy to call CPS! Thats BS! and yes total abuse! Small children cant be abused like that! That just reminds of the story we were told at the last CPR class i had about a guys house he went to and the guy was putting cigarettes out on his 3 wk old newborn! and his excuse was oh well she cant remember it anyways! i dont think dispcline can be done until at leat 18 months and even then its a small hand slap nothing like what is going on in this poor girls life! Any1 hear of the baby Briana story yeah read it up its from the state im from NM its digusting and mortifying what they did to that poor innocent baby! Abuse needs to be reported NOW!!

Honestly I hope she reports this but I'm not sure she will. The fact that she is asking if this is ok is kind of alarming to be honest. I would have contacted someone right away if I was her. I wish there was a way we could do this for her, but her profile only gives that she lives in Texas.

I saw it and responded too. I told my husband and he was disgusted. (I cant repeat what he said, it was bad) I can't believe someone would ask if that's an effective method.

I wonder if you report the post if the person who looks into it will know background on the person???  Does that make any sense?  like maybe the makers of medhelp can then call authorities based on the info you give when you sign up.

I know I told her the same thing and also sentr her to a child help link to report and have a counselor to talk too. GOd I hope she does something if she is telling the truth, a girl here is going to tell the moderators but like she said, it is just words that may or may not be true and there is no info. uggggg scream*******

There should be internet places to report this, you know there are ways to find this girl! Like I said to the girl here I hope it is not true but if it is I just want to cry.

I read this and advised her to contact CPS. It was very hard to read and extremely upsetting. She is very young though and I hope she does the right thing.

Awwwwww :( how in the WORLD could someone think that's okay?! Something should be done cause that poor baby does NOT deserve that... That makes me sooooo sad :(

Oh no!!! I watch Steve Wilkos like everyday and I see alot of this. and it breaks my lil heart!!!  I am a young mother(21 next month) got pregnant at 19.. and I pretty much take care of my baby on my own, his dad works and then comes home and pretty much lays around. and I do get overwhelmed at times, but I couldnt do that. that is just horrible, that poor poor baby :(  I wanna scoop him up and hold him in my arms. My son is only a month younger then that baby, and when i look at him, I see a tiny innocent little boy. How could someone do that?  Ugh people these days I swear, i could strangle them!!!

I hope it is OK to post this as it is about another poster/post! I am not meaning anything bad about her so everyone knows that, just it is sooo sad!
