  • i've done my best trying to hold on but i can't take it anymore. my mom and dad left when i was to and we're heavy on drugs. i ended up moving back in with her when i was 12, i'm now 15. she physically and mentally abuses me. i've got pictures of bruises she's left on me. i wanna get emancipated but i can't do it by myself. she's smart around her words and can figure ways to make it seem like it's all me and can lie her ass off. she's going through my ******** and calling me a cunt, piece of ********, fat, and she keeps saying how she don't want me here or anything to do with me but yet won't let me leave. last night my step dad and her tried to hit me when driving home and grabbed me from jumping out the truck at 65mph but my mom told them to let me do it. her plan is to send me away to a girls home or juvenile detention center soon and i just want to go to a house that will actually be a home to me.

  • Hi, I came here hoping for some answers since CPS fails todo their job with helping me, I am a 15y/o female in the state of Florida. I have been abused physically, neglected, verbally abused and emotionally by my father. Ever since I can remember him abusing me was in preschool, that first memory was he told me if I ever did something wrong he would hurt me and he was a monster were his exact words. For a toddler I was scared. In first grade he beat me to were I passed out, that is the only time Ive ever passed out. My live is a living hell around him. I never told anyone because I was scared they would tell him. I would go to bed crying every night for my mother who had died in 2012. Her and my father were getting a divorce and he ended up winning because she died. I found a year ago court docs of it and read them, why he kept these I`m guessing to prove he owns me. One line of the paper said to the judge "I promise if you rule me the power to have my daughter I will make sure she has a roof over her head and a nice life" What a fat lie. He is the biggest manipulator, narcissist, 2 faced person you would ever meet. When my mother died I was like 5 or 6 she lived with her parents and my father lived with his. He never told me she was dead I never went to her funeral. For months I was under the impression she was ALIVE. It was Friday I was supposed to visit her, before I get out of the car he tells me she`s dead. I laughed and said no she`s not and got out of the car and ran into the house, I wen to her room she wasn`t there, then I started crying looking in every room of the house looking for her then I seen a bunch of flowers, my grandparents grabbed me and hugged me. How nice I found out my own mother was dead 5 mins before I was supposed to visit her. In 5th grade I looked in the mirror and held a steak knife up to my neck and was going to slit my throat. I was so close you don`t understand how much then I started thinking about the rest of my family and they wouldn`t know why I killed myself. So I called my mothers mom, my grandma the only one I trusted more than anyone I told her what was going on how he`s abusing me and I can`t take it anymore, I wanted her to come pick me up. She said she feels horrible but that I needed to try to stay strong so I did. That didn`t last long In 7th grade I had told pretty much my entire family and the all believed me and wanted to help, they said try to talk to him, so I did him and my step mom. That ended badly I was told he would put me in a halfway house just like my mother and when he got home from work he was going to beat the ******** out of me. I went to sleep and I woke with a belt being slapped over my face and he started to me me everywhere. He went crazy he beat me on the head, face, stomach everywhere. Mind you this is a few months after my Skull fracture from falling that he never took me to my doctors check ups after because he said he`s not spending his hard earned money on that. He held the belt to my face and said "you ever do something like that again and you better pray to Jesus you live to see another day" with that I told my school counselor what happened, she called cps. 2 weeks went by I asked if they were coming to talk to me and she said they were to busy with other cases and she never even checked on me after. Fast forward still being beat called a sack of ********, worthless, messed up ********, and everything else, my family told me to call CPS directly so I did and they came out the next day I think it was a women who looked like shed never done this in her life, she talked to my dad then me while he was standing there! she never even asked him to leave! she believed my dad over me and said I was a troubled teen then case closed, she never did an investigation she was supposed to call some family members and didn`t, then when they heard she did nothing they left he voice messages and she didn`t answer. All she did was look for marks and if CPS dose not see marks than a child has a happy wonderful life filled with butterflies. I told the idiot I hadn`t been beat for over a month. So 2 times I have put my life in their hands because its their JOBS but did nothing. My dad told her I was lying, so she trusted him over me. Well no freaking duh he`s gunna say he didn`t do anything. After he told me he had they right as a Florida citizen to beat me whenever he feels like it. He said I am his child and hell do whatever he wants until I`m 18, and I`m not leaving or escaping any where and hell make sure of it. Since then nothing has changed, it feels like hell, its so tiring being treated like ******** my whole life I`m stuck until I`m 18 unless I flee because the people who are supposed to help wont do their job. There`s no point of CPS being a thing their worthless. So what for them to notice me I have to either run, kill myself or wait to be killed by him for me to get my own Netflix documentary like the other kids where CPS goes, oh we should have looked into it. Well no duh CPS is sick. My aunt tried to talk to him and he sent her a message not that Ive seen but hear, " I have a gun and know how to use it, Ill take her away and you will never see her again or Ill take care of yall" Also this is why mom wanted a divorce because he did this to her but CPS ignored that fact. If I were happy and not being abused I wouldn`t ask for help. I know about emancipation but he wont let me and if I try to go to court about it I still have to live in the same house with him while its being done?! NO! I`ll get beat to death. My latest thoughts have been to try to provoke him into beating me, then run into a car lock the doors and call 911 since that`s the only way to get help if there`s a mark. CPS magical sign for abuse but most of the time they don`t do it even when there is a mark. PLEASE HELP I need to get the hell out of here also any of my family members would take me.

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.
      It seems like you have the support of your family members. It is important to note that they can be helpful when making an abuse report. Generally, if you go and stay with a family member and police try to bring you back home to your dad, you can relate to them the possible abuse and they are supposed to let you stay somewhere safe until CPS can investigate. Having the words of your family to back you up can also be helpful when making the report so that CPS knows to talk to others and not just you and your dad. But yes reporting when you have visible marks, or having pictures of those marks generally gets the most intervention from CPS.
      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.

  • hi
    I want to leave my household because my family is irritating and they fight all the time. Especially while driving. this doesn't make me feel safe at all and I can't talk to any of them because I struggle with confrontation. I cant deal with emotional things and I bottle them all up and I have been doing that for the whole 14 years I've lived. I at least just want to have my own home or be able to leave the house whenever I need some air from my family and let my emotions out because I can never be alone and I have never shared my feelings with anyone. I am scared to cry in front of people I can't even talk to my friends even tho they are my favourite people. I want to talk to this lady at my school who works in the mental services type department but I'm afraid my friends and family will find out and I don't want them to know. I only feel comfortable with her and some other teachers at school. I want to get into some kind of therapy as a lot of things have happened which I do not feel comfortable sharing here, but it's expensive and I can't do that without my parents finding out cause I can't drive. I'm 14.

      Hi,
      Thanks for reaching out; we are glad that you did. It sounds like you are in a very stressful situation at home with your family fighting all the time, and especially while driving. It's understandable that this would make you feel unsafe. And not ever being able to talk about or express your feelings make everything inside feel worse because there is no place out side of you that you have found to put it.
      We are glad to hear that you trust the lady at school. We hope that you will reach out to us over chat so we can help you make a plan to tell her that feels comfortable for you. We also have a phone hotline you can call too, at 1-800-RUNAWAY, or you can chat us through this website.
      We truly hope to hear form you soon.
      Sincerely,
      NRS

      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. It seems there is a lot that you are faced with right now and you’re feeling like leaving is one of your only options. It seems you want to know some information on gathering resources to better explore your options.

      While we are not experts on the law, 18 is generally the age that an individual may leave home without parent permission. If you are under 18 and leave home, your parent/guardian may file you as a runaway and you may be returned home. Also, those you stay with may run the risk of being charged with harboring a runaway. For more specifics on the law, the local non-emergency police or legal aid may better answer legal questions. And for additional support, it may be helpful to reach out to trusted adults like a teacher, coach, or school counselor.

      We are here as support to help through this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat as NRS is unable to respond more than twice by forum to assist you. If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon.

      Our contact information is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929); www.1800runaway.org (click on the chat button). Our services are confidential.

      If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately.

      Hey there,
      Thank you for reaching out to the National Runaway Safeline. We are glad that you are reaching out for help—that takes a lot of bravery. It sounds like you are going through an extremely difficult time right now with life at home and we are sorry to hear that home isn’t a place where you feel supported and treated respect by your father.

      While we are not legal experts here at NRS, it is worth mentioning that if your father doesn’t know your boyfriend and do not know where to look, he could also file a missing child report to their local police department. Law enforcement will collect basic information about you that will go into a national database, and they can then return you home in the event you are found. Because you are 17 years old and will turn 18 years old in a few months, some law enforcement may not invest as much time in attempting to find you compared to a younger youth. Again, this is truly all depends on your city and state and how involved your parents are. You can always contact your local non-emergency police department anonymously to ask about your situation and what would happen (or, have a friend call on your behalf for full confidentiality).

      All that being said, you have your own free will and another option worth mentioning are temporary living arrangements that are housing shelters were youth can stay for 3-12 months. Because you are 17 years old, you may be able to stay there without requiring parental permission.

      We are here as support to help through this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat as NRS is unable to respond more than twice by forum to assist you. If you would like to talk more in detail or have us call out to these resources with you or conduct a conference call with a parent, please call or chat soon. Our contact information is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929); www.1800runaway.org (click on the chat button). If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately.
