So another thing is my grandma has a friend that works at cps and she told my grandma that if i run away from home because of emotional abuse my grandma can pick me up but she has to call cps to let them know what is going on so she doesn't get in trouble
In California, if a minor runs away due to abuse, CPS should be informed immediately. They'll investigate and ensure your safety. If your grandma picks you up, she should:
- Report to CPS
- Cooperate with CPS and law enforcement
- Seek legal guardianship if needed.
Yes that is what she is going to do if i do leave
That's a difficult situation. If your grandma does follow that course of action, it's important that she:
- Keeps CPS informed
- Cooperates with CPS and law enforcement
- Files for legal guardianship as soon as possible
Your safety is the priority here.
Can a minor leave home for emotional abuse?
In California, a minor can leave home if they're experiencing abuse, but they should immediately seek help from a trusted adult or authority, such as CPS or law enforcement. Leaving home without a safety plan can be risky.
Yeahbi told my aunts and they said not to because i am far away and something can happen to me
I understand their worries. It's essential to have a safe place to go before leaving home due to abuse. If you don't have one, consider contacting the National Runaway Safeline at *-*-RUNAWAY (*-*-*-*). They can help you plan a safe exit strategy.
I have a lot of houses i can go to they are * hours away though and thats by car i told them I'll get an uber if i have to or go to a store and wait for one of them to pick me up
That's a good plan. Remember, your safety is important. If you decide to leave, ensure you:
- Inform a trusted adult or authority
- Have a safe place to go
- Plan your journey carefully
- Stay in touch with someone you trust.
I will I'll be on the phone with them until i get picked up by one of them or an uber
That sounds like a good plan. Remember, in emergency situations, don't hesitate to call *. Stay safe and keep your trusted contacts informed.
