First off, this girl is (from my understanding) not exactly "abused." But I get your drift. (She reportedly posted the video on youtube as revenge for her Dad cutting her off financially. She is ?23? and her Dad said this is the last Mercedes you are getting.)


I would assume that if you could claim you felt your life was threatened, then you could get away with it. In today's day and age, I think the kid with the hatchet would have been charged. There are too many ways to report abuse now, and they teach kids in school (at least in my school district) how to report abuse. There is the obvious, calling 911, talking to a teacher, telling your School Resource Officer, etc etc. So if it got to the point where you had to pull a gun on your parental unit, then you might have a hard time saying it was the only way to deal with it.
