Hi there,
Thanks so much for reaching out to us. We are so sorry to hear that you are dealing with neglect at home. That isn't right at all. We are here for you to listen and help as much as we can.
Neglect is serious. You have the right to report it. If you feel like you want to learn more, you can reach out to us or our friends at ChildHelp (https://www.childhelp.org/). We can also help you file an abuse report when you're ready.
Are you able to reach out to us? We want to make sure we're giving you the guidance that makes the most sense for you. Here at NRS we can help you make a plan to leave home, talk to your parents, file abuse reports, or just generally talk you through things and give you your options.
The NRS is available 24/7 via online chat or by calling 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929). You should be able to reach us on your school computer. We hope to hear from you soon! Good luck and stay safe.
