Are you a bullied parent?

Host_Ryan - One Show team | 15:21 UK time, Wednesday, 12 November 2008

The One Show has been given exclusive access to the findings of a report by the charity . It show how parents are suffering abuse at the hands of their own children.

Of the calls they get relating to child behaviour, 90% are from adults being bullied - or worse - by their children.

The aggression takes place mainly behind closed doors at home, some parents are at their wits end and if the behaviour continues, unchecked, things can spiral out of control.

For The One Show, Anita Rani met some bullied parents, and Maureen Pearson from Parentline Plus. Maureen said that much like people wouldn't speak of domestic violence in the past, people, especially mums are often too embarrassed to talk of abuse they face at the hands of their children.

If you would like to speak to someone about any issues relating to this subject please call the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Action Line: 08000 560 190

Has there been bullying in your family? How have you overcome such a difficult situation? Or are you perhaps too embarrassed to seek help?
