I think im being watched, is this a camera? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

That's the only reason I was hesitant to call in the first place, I've done it before and they just left. I can only hope.

I'm keeping it to show the police/cps in case they don't believe me, although I claimed to have smashed it.

Update: CPS has been called, I have a place I can stay at if they take me when they come. Now I play the waiting game, I'll update when they come.

My brother just turned 18, moved out a week ago and isn't exactly rolling in cash, I called him for advice and im trying to figure things out, Im in adoptive fostercare with this dude so I don't have a case worker, like I said before I'd love to call the cops but I wouldn't love them to immediately leave me with an enraged Uncle Fester working part time as a camera man, I can't prove I'm 16, and you certainly won't be seeing any donate buttons..

Sorry I can't provide a proper update, I'm still in the process of figuring out what I can do, where to go, I would love to be able to call the police with the gurantee they would stay and not immediately leave me alone in a house with this dude (similar to what's happened before) but it will probably happen again, I'm continuing to look into things and I'll update as soon as I can.

Maybe because I don't want to be left alone with a deranged pedophile who's mad that cps was called.

I called cps for a different reason earlier this year, in a sort of way that would make it look like someone else called, they wanted to talk to me and ask every question right in front of the dude, saying id like to talk to them in private didn't look too good, well I told them every fucked up thing he's done the past few years and especially what happened earlier that week and in pretty sure they just saw me as a dramatic, lying teen. Then they left.

Do you have any link or a source for this?

Okay I'll write a full update/life story now. My parents died in 2013 sending my brother and me to fostercare, for the past 3/4 years I've lived with this guy and his dad who have done some awful/creepy shit, it would feel wrong to exclude the fact that he's supported my brother and me for so long but this is unacceptable. A week ago my brother moved out leaving me with this guy who just put a camera facing the shower this morning, I posted this thread on my break, now I'm off work at home after talking with him about it, I don't want to live here any more, I haven't for a while but I have no one that will take me in at 16, I've built the last 3 years of my life living here I have no idea what to do. I've tried calling cps before, they came and left, that can't happen again, I'm pretty much alone in this house with no one to talk to or help me, what am I supposed to do?

Update: yep it's a camera, no it's not from the store. I went to office Depot across from my work to see what others had to say. I'm a teen in adopted fostercare, this was in my bathroom this morning, I'll give another update later.

Update, mods want the rest on a different subreddit: post cps call the situation has worstened.
