Why isnt this considered child abuse? advice

Im confuse how can this not be child abuse me and my brother went McDonalds with our mother he鈥檚 13 im 3 years older. We were flinging ketchup at each other and on floor it got on some ppl.I got ketchup on some girls purse she fliped out it was a couch or something. The manager came to the table and told us to stop my mom comes out of the bathroom saw what we did she flip out. She asks the manager if she had high chairs and bibs and diapers for us her two babies. in the car ride home from mcdonalds she had the nerve to ask me when she goes to wallmart do i prefer huggies or pampers. i want to report my mom. I spoke to a counselor at school she told me no it鈥檚 not abuse and I should be thanking my mom for being so nice to me. She told me if I was her kid and did that that I and my bro would have been wearing bibs and diapers by the end of the week then she told me to leave her office. it has to be a girl thing or something they both agreed. she lied to me no parents would do that to there kids if they did what me and my bro did. It was mcdonalds it wasnt like it was a fancy place or anything.
...... She not social services but what she said is that right about its no abuse? p.s. I dont want to sound like a whinny baby and a brat but my mother had no right to say thoses things to me. I didnt care if i had ketchup on me why the hell should she. Comparing me to a baby that was untrue and wrong and foul.

Lol, you're 16 and you fling ketchup around in Macdonalds?

Wow, are you kidding me????

Are you really 16?

People get beat by their parents until they are bloody and bruised. THAT'S child abuse.

You're an idiot

And by the way, if your mom has "no right to say thoses things to you" then you need to pack your crap up and move out.

You may find it insulting, and if you do tell her. Say 'I found the comments you made about me being infintile both insulting and hurtful.'

Child abuse is raping you with a rolled up newspaper while her boyfriend watched.

No, it's not. If someone acts like a baby, they should be treated as one. If someone doesn't want to be treated as a baby, they shouldn't act like a baby. But hey, you're teenagers, right?

You mean like verbal abuse?? That's not even a bad thing to say to you. There are abusive things parents can do to their childron that are alot worse then telling you that you were acting like a baby.

it's called parenting, and the effect was exactly what she wanted.
you're not gonna do it again because what she did to punish you was humiliating, right?
get over it, so many people have had it way worse than you.

You are lucky she didn't backhand you. All she was trying to do was to teach you a lesson. By the way, what do you think that she, as a parent, should have done?

If you act like a child you will be treated like a child.
I personally, would have beat your @ss when I got you home.
Be thankful you have the mother you have.

That's what you were acting like.. you're sixteen, don't fling ketchup.

How would that possibly be abuse?

a little much.. but not abuse

she didn't physically harm you and she was disciplining you.

That is not child abuse. Your mother didn't beat or neglect you. It's just parenting and you just need some discipline.

Hmm...I'm pretty sure your mom was hinting that you need to act more your age. I don't understand why you consider that child abuse.

Um no you're 16 you should know by now not to fling ketchup, its a little immature.

It's called parenting, get over it.

She's a parent and you WERE acting like a baby. Only babies fling ketchup in McDonalds. Grow up.

You and your brother are idiots.

you should be glad your mom got you out of Mcdonalds before some else really abused you.

LMAO you are the saddest person ever! Trying to get your mother into **** just because she said the truth.

your 16 for goodness sake and you were playing with ketchup?? wow..

your just a joke sorry pal

its just a certain way of parenting

Justin

sounds like you got what you deserved. Act like a child, you'll be treated like a child..

shes your mom. she can do what she wants. deal with it.

If she starts hitting you, call the cops

i think u need a spanking, that is so not child abuse u panzy

It's not abuse.
Here is your mother's version:
"Why can't I call probation and report that my kids are little hellions that can't act their age? I can't even go into McDonalds and buy them the stuff they like to eat without them being rude and obnoxious. I wish they'd stop acting like whiney babies because I really enjoy them when act civilized. They are just acting wrong and foul and they had no right to embarrass me with no manners like that."

Your behaviour anywhere, especially in public is a reflection of your Mothers ability as a parent, if behave badly in front of others, it makes you Mother look bad, as if she hasn't taught you the right way to behave in public.. Basically you embarrassed your Mother, and she was angry about it, it wasn't a form of abuse, it was her way of expressing her anger and disappointment in you.

The best thing to do is to try not draw attention to yourself by doing something stupid like throwing sauce around in public, you're 16, its about time to act mature and responsible, make your Mother proud of you, not embarrassed...
