Is it normal my babysitter abused me?

I was around seven or so and my babysitter was an older guy, around 18 came over to watch my younger brother and I. My parents went out of dinner and left us pizza. Once my parents left we were all sitting down on the sofa. My babysitter told us we couldn't have dinner till he said so. When he was distracted by my younger brother I went and snuck a piece of pizza. He turned around and saw me. He grabbed me and sat me down on his lap. I had a mouth full of pizza. He proceed to yell at me and he took my arms and crossed them, pulling them as hard as he could. Then he put his hands around my throat and demanded that I throw it up. I threw it up all over his lap and he continued.. This must have gone on for an hour till I got loose and ran to the bathroom and locked the door. He yelled for me to come out. And pounded on the door. I was scared. When I didn't hear him I opened the door and ran up stairs. He saw me and chased after me. I ran to my bedroom and locked the door and put a chair under the door knob. My younger brother thought it was a game so he told out babysitter where the key was and he picked the lock and pushed though. Then my brother was on my side and we "tackled" him to the ground and threw stuff at him and pulled down his pants. Looking bac he had a smile on his face and was enjoying it. Then we went back down stairs and he threated me not to tell my parents or anybody. He never baby sat us again ,but it turns out his dad is a pedofille so that was a little concerning.. I was just wondering has anyone had similar experience and is it normal?

    That's disturbing. If you never did, I urge you now to tell your parents or the cops. How did you discover his father was a child molester? Was he ever reported?

      When we had neighborhood parties the dad would take little boys back to his house, without asking the parents.He would just carry then off though the woods to his house. He even did this my little brother. It was never reported as I'm aware.

        Did your brother or those other boys tell their parents? Why wasn't this reported?! You need to report this man. What he is doing is illegal.

          The parents know. And they talked to him. What he did was wrong. But as nothing we can prov as illegal.

            Wouldn't the boys he took into the woods memories/experiences serve as a good amount of proof?

    Why the hell would you ask this question?

    Of course it's not normal. You know it's not normal. If it were, there would be far fewer employed babysitters because there would be far fewer parents employing them.

    The only advice I have is to not ask dumb questions, and to report his abusive behaviour to the police! You said in the comments he takes kids away into the woods without telling anyone. You said his dad is a paedophile - abused kids often become abusers. Don't you think your experience is enough to suggest he might be doing something wrong? Don't you think it's your responsibility to report him?

        What's wrong with that??? You got attacked by some Physco wanna be pedo that's what.

        If your going to get some one to baby sit your kid it needs to be someone you can trust, not just some random dude.

            Bullshit. No 18 yo boy is mature enough to be trusted to look after kids. You have to be very careful with kids you can't just trust some stranger to look after them, that's why shit like this happens. Try some fucking responsibility you worthless fucking lazy parents.

              That is a load of crap! So who is fit for the job?
              I've babysitted the neighbour's kids on several occasions. I never had any trouble with the kids. I was 17/ 18 when I did it. I knew the kids and they were very good. They did do some small misdemeanor (I don't remember what it was), but after I told them to behave - they did.
              Not all men are psycho freaks. You must be some men-hating feminist, right?
