My son has a friend who is being emotionally and sometimes physically abused by her mother. She is almost 16, and lives in NC. We want very much to help this girl, who, for example, on her birthday was told that her mother wished she was dead and had never been born. Her mother has serious power and control issues with this child, and great concern for her image.
We have a whole community that wants to help this girl. She is welcome to live with us. We just need to know how to help her get out of this situation, and what we need to do to keep things legal for her and for us. She is unlikely to grant emancipation or permission. The abuse has mostly been emotional, so we aren't certain how effective cps would be, and we'd certainly like to keep her out of the foster system if possible.
Any ideas?
