Hi there,
Thank you for writing to us here at National Runaway Safeline (NRS).
We understand it takes great courage to reach out, and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what’s going on. You are very brave. It sounds like you’re quite overwhelmed by things at home right now and you mentioned being harmed.
We’re sorry you’re going through this. You don't deserve to be hurt in any way and it is not your fault that this is happening.
It sounds like you would like to go to your grandmother’s house for support. We are glad that you have someone to turn to for help. That being said. If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately. You may also be able to report any mistreatment to CPS. Child Help USA 1-800-422-4453 www.childhelp.org is an organization that helps protect minors from being harmed. It may also be a good place to explore options for staying with another family member or someone you trust as far as transferring custody.
Often, having a safe space to share how you’re feeling may bring a variety of solutions previously not thought of. You are not alone in this. We want you to know that we are here as support to help you through this challenging time.
If you would like to talk more in detail please call us at 1-800-Runaway (786-2929) if you are unable to call in you can live chat at www.1800Runaway.org.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Be safe,
NRS
