Question by ???: Child Abuse Hotline?
My friend is thinkin about calling the Child Abuse Hotline, all of her friends believe she is emotionally abused & neglected. She has already tried to kill herself, & now she’s changing drastically. Im worried she has started doing drugs. I believe her home life is causing all of these problems. & Everytime i bring it up she says how she doesnt want to leave this school or town… (If she calls the Child Abuse Hotline, & they take action, will she remain in the same area, what are the chances?)… She is also afriad that they will just “warn” her parents (like people she has told so many times, but they didnt take any serious action–which caused her parents kinda to hate her more)…. Will she get to pick her “foster” parents?? (She is a former foster child, her “family” that she lives with now adopted her… idk y, if they treat her this way.. but they treat their biological daughters nicely..) She’s almost 16, does she get to make any choices in where she ends up if she calls?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AolvYVcV58dUjhtaOKO46xzsy6IX?qid=20070424170114AAQVGj9

Teachers, friends, and others have offered to take her in…… will she get to choose??

If not, is there anyway to leave her home?? She turns 16 in June…. Can she get Emancipated from her home?? How can she get away, but stay close to the ones that she needs in this tough time in her life?
She lives in Nebraska.

She hasnt talked to a conselor, she hasn’t felt confortable…. but the principles, & conselors ALL know about her attempted suicide…. She was crying all day today b/c of her parents, & she went & talked for 50+ minutes with a teacher who she trusts, & even made the teacher cry with what she was saying

Also, another teacher, who has experience a some-what related experience has offered my friend her phone number, & address in any chance that they needed to talk.

It’s pretty much out in the open, she doesnt go into details about her parents with some people, but she’ll be the first to come right out and say “My parents dont love me.” Which from meeting her parents after ONE time, i can say for myself that i agree with that statement.
Im almost for sure she is being abused…. It’s been 2 years since i’ve known her… Ive talked to her mother–she talks with NO love for her daughter. She’s a sophmore && they dont allow her to go into the house (even on days like today, when its rainin, storming/lightening, windy && cold… or even when its cold & below 0)…. She HAS to wait until her parents get home from work… whether is in 30 min, or 2 hours…. I mean, they think she’ll break something

They wont allow her to get her permit or lisence, they told her she’ll never be able to lie

Never tell her they love her, or hug her… but the call her fat & ugly sometimes

Also, she’s 16 and still goes to a babysitter

walks/rides her bike miles & miles to the library, school, & practices, even though her parents drive in their car to MAKE SURE that’s where she went…..

*she has to ask to eat food, && shes an XC runner, && needs lots of calories, but they think she over-eats, but she doesnt.
She cant call her former social worker, b/c that was for one, b4 she was six && in North Dakota (she lives in Nebraska now), her “parents” were her foster parents that adopted her so they could move…

Answer by goldenrae9
It depends on what state you live in. Also, it does not matter how they treat one child as there are many cases of abuse wherein one child is treated worse than the others.

Has she talked to the school guidance couselor/social worker? They would be better trained and suited to deal with this.
