Injustice of child abuse

Last Thanksgiving, actually a week before, in 2008 when my brother was 8 our step grandfather shoved a coat hanger down his throat. Leading up to that Jimmy would punch Jared or hit him or slap him on the back or trip or call him a stupid fuck and various other names and tell him he's a piece of shit and needs to die.

My brother got blamed for it.

Now Jimmy is out on bond (the court lowered his bail, 15k was put up)and living like 100 yards away behind the house. Which he isn't allowed to be ANYWHERE near Jared per his bail and a restraining order. He calls all the time even when Jared's home, comes to the house, makes nasty comments and has my grandmother so mentally abused and brainwashed she worships the ground he walks on and thinks Jared is the devil. They even tried evicting my mum which they can't do as they don't own the house and my mum pays rent and electric.

How come a now 9 year old is being blamed for being abused? Is the sick old man (who has been arrested for cocaine and DUIS yes multiple he just got out months before the incident after serving 5 years in jail. He has no license but drives. And drinks.) Why does Jimmy not get in more trouble? Why is a child just being pushed aside like he's trash? Jimmy thinks of himself as above the law. Our family supports Jimmy. But if this had happened to Ethan or the baby Jayden they'd kill Jimmy. But they can't support Jared? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

  1. That is a horrible thing. I am sorry you had to go through it. He should be stopped.

  2. I cannot believe this.
    Isn't there something you can do? Record what he says and show it to the police or something. I'm really not sure as to what can be done, but SOMETHING is better than nothing.
    Stay strong love.
