Hello,
Thanks for getting in touch with us. It’s not okay that you’re being abused. We can help you find some resources and work out the best options for you. Running away is an option, but it can be dangerous without a plan, and since you're a minor, your mother could file a runaway report, which would allow the police to return you home. Since you’re in California, you can report child abuse by finding the number for your county at https://www.cdss.ca.gov/reporting/re...rt-child-abuse. Our ability to help over the forums is limited, so the best way for us to help you is if you call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY or by chatting with us on our website at www.1800runaway.org. Both the chat and the phone line are confidential and available 24/7.
