My friend is very unhappy with her mom right now. Her mother refuses to pay for her basic necessities, and she has hit her before. She recently punched her in the side. She said she could move in with her dad, but he lives a very long way away. Is there anyway she could live with me legally? My mom would probably adopt her.
