Hey there,

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing a little bit about what’s been going on, we know that it takes a lot of courage. The man your mom is with sounds really scary to be around and his actions are unacceptable. If you are ever in any kind of harm or immediate danger we encourage you to reach out to emergency services like the police. The National Runaway Safeline is located in the United States of America (USA). Our knowledge of helpful community-based resources and our understanding of youth in crisis-related laws is limited to the USA. You may want to check out Kids Helpline by going to http://www.kidshelp.com.au/ as they are based in Australia and may be better able to assist you.

We hope that by reaching out to a local resource, you are able to get the support you need from an organization that understands the laws and circumstances that affect youth in your country.

Be safe,
NRS
