17 and pregnant

[Guest]

I'm 17 and 4 months pregnant, my sister has constantly hit me and today kneed me in the stomach and my mother will not do anything about it, also my sister is 19. Can I leave since me and my baby are not safe?

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us; we are glad that you did.
It sounds like your sister is physically abusive to you and that your mom doesn't or can't stop her.
We would like to talk to you about this situation. We can discuss filing an abuse report if you prefer to stay home, or you plans to leave if that is what you are considering. The hard part is that until you are 18, your mom is your guardian and decides where you live.
You can call the police on your sister as it sounds like she is assaulting you. We can discuss all of this and more if you reach out to us either by phone at 1-800-786-2929 (1-800-RUNAWAY) or through live chat via this website.
You don't deserve to be treated this way at all, and we are very sorry to hear about this. We truly hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
NRS
