hi, I'm asking a question related to my experience. I'm not putting up personal info because I'm not sure what I want to do, and I want to be anonymous. I live in NSW, and 1-3 years ago one of my parents assaulted me, and left me with bruises and a black eye, and tried to choke me out until someone else stopped them. I have photo proof of the injury, but unfortunately no proof of it happening. My whole family saw it happening, I am a minor. This happens every few months, but that's probably the worst case. when I was younger (8-10) I was beaten with sticks every few weeks, usually over minor things such as my parent thinking I am not listening to them because I am blocking my ears, while in fact I was just scratching my ear and didn't really understand what was happening. I think i was 7 that time, and I was beaten with the sticks. what should I do? What good does going to court over this actually do me, apart from knowing that piece of s**t is in jail? appreciate any answers.
