I am a 17 year-old teenager that wants to terminate visitation with my father on account of abuse and a concussion he gave me during my first unsupervised visit last weekend less than 24 hours into the visit and numerous other cases of abuse during the 25 years he was with my mother. He has 2 counts of domestic violence and is on probation. My 19 year-old sister will be filing charges for attempted murder, for when he tried to drown her in dirty dishwater on August 21st. There was a police report filed in August but because of my mother's concerns with financial stability the police only wrote down one of the many incidents that occured including, but not limited to trying to drown my sister, breaking glass bottles over my mother's head, chasing myself while calling me a "c**ksucking a**hole", shoving my oldest sister to the ground when she tried to stop him from chasing me, chasing two of my adult sisters across the yard twice while calling them "f***ing c**ts", and breaking the door down after we locked him out after which he decided he wanted a book to read.
On numerous other occasions I have heard him threaten my mother with her life and "going after" the children if she tried to divorce him. Last Saturday June 16th he gave me a concussion, however the police did not charge him with anything because they asked me several questions to which I responded I'm not sure, I was just worried about protecting my little brothers and sister and now they are saying that I admitted to getting in my father's "space" and doing things that either didn't happen or my younger brother and sister did. So even though I never touched my father, they're saying that him shoving me against a wall and causing a concussion was justified because he only "pushed" me out of his space. The CPS social worker has been swamped with five similar cases and I will be forced to go again if she doesn't finish the investigation by Thursday and she needs to get contact with him before then and the last time CPS was called it took them nearly two weeks to get contact with him because he makes himself unavailable for interviews and arrests.
My Mom was told yesterday that if CPS finds him guilty of child abuse, they will put him on a central registry as an offender but it's still up to the police to press charges and they are not because it's just a "domestic situation".
