can police get in trouble for this?

Question

i'm 15 and 3 months pregnant. Now i know that's not good, but today me, my boyfriend, and my dad got into a huge arguement and my dad told my boyfriend to leave. And as soon as my boyfriend was gone, which he just stood on the porch, my dad punched me in the head and said to never disrespect him like that again. And i told my boyfriend and he called the police. I didn't know until after he did though. But anyways, the police said that since there was no marks or anything that they couldn't say much. Then they told my dad that it was okay if he hits me as long as no marks are left. Then they're trying to get my boyfriend in trouble for a "false report"! And i'm pregnant. I live in Iowa. But still can they really just let that go? shouldn't they do something?

Answer 1

That's sick. You should find a shelter near you for battered women and children. They can help you with school, give you a place to stay, and provide you eith protection. They even offer aid with pregnancies. You won't be able to see the bf there for saftey of the other women but you will find the care you need.

Answer 2

I have a hard time believing this story. If you are afraid of your father hurting you, you should have spoken up when the police came and asked for protection.



If you are being abused, you need to call Child Protective Services and ask for help.



Physically disciplining children is not a crime, on its own, and the police may have simply been acknowledging this fact.



Your boyfriend, in their eyes, is already guilty of statutory rape, and you are already lucky that they didn't haul him away already and charge him.



In any case, no abuse case will hold up in court without physical evidence. Your he said/ she said situation would be thrown out unless a credible grown-up witness were to come forward.



Your boyfriend doesn't count as credible.

often railway tracks and yards are ruled by way of the Railway companies very own police/protection centers. If something your people must be charged with trespassing, and in case you may coach which you have been in the park and not close to the tracks you ought to have no undertaking. an excellent variety of little ones placed pennies on the tracks to flatten them, yet being around tracks and trains IS an rather risky factor for little ones to do. If it replaced right into a set of double tracks the potential of being hit by way of a prepare vacationing in the different direction is rather real!!!

Answer 4

Hell no get names and badge #s then quit reading this and call childrens protective services or whatevre they call it in iowa you dont have to be hit by anybody

call police and report it if you dont have badge # they have a report of the incident dont let it go report it as soon as you can

Answer 5

They can get in to trouble. you should try to report it to a child abuse protector. Did your father hit you before? If he did you must go police again. No one has the right to hit anyone even if they are their parents. Its not right. You must connect somone other than police. Like any other adult that might help you. Like school cansoler.

Answer 6

His actions were about as dumb as you getting pregnant at age 15.

Answer 7

I don't believe a single word of your little story. HOWEVER if there are no marks then how is there proof that an assault occurred?

Answer 8

File a tort claim against them.

Answer 9
