Im a runaway...and i need help.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Connecticut i ran away from home about a week ago...actually, it was feb. vacation for my school so i went to my boyfriends house to stay. i called my mom cuz i didnt have a ride home and she started verbally abusing me. at that point ive had enough of her. she currently lives with an illegal immigrant and ive been involved in her drunken fights. i see her only 2 days out of the week and she hardly goes grocery shopping. i called my dad that nyte (*he lives in florida*) and he told me he would do wut he could to help me get out of stay out of my moms house. my boyfriend lives with his sister and her daughter. my boyfriends age is 17 going on 18, im 16 going on 17, and the sister is 20 going on 21. im just wondering wut my mom could do and if the cops could do nething. my mom knows where i am, im over 16, and im staying with an adult at the moment. friends and relatives have told me that the police cant really do much. i was just wondering if theres something i dont kno. ill go to court if i have to and my mother has threatened me and everyone in this household. and another thing, if i were to talk to DCF about all this and they took me out of the house, is there anyway i could stay with my boyfriend and not have to move to florida with my father? my boyfriends house is a suitable environment for me, i eat home cooked meals everynight for dinner (*unlike at my mothers at which i eat a can of tuna or the once and a while meal from the restaurant she works at*) and hardly ever left alone in the house. my mother has put me and my sister through hell and ive kept my mouth shut about the things shes pulled. me and my sister know shes insane and even mine and her therapist think so. ive been through my mothers verbal abuse and my soon to be step fathers physical drunk abuse. wut can i do? |

| Your mother can report you as a runaway and yes, the cops can remove you from your boyfriend's sister's home. If you persist in running away, you may end up in the system. It is extremely unlikely that a judge would allow you to remain where you are. So the best alternative would be for Dad to file for custody and for you to move in with him. Or put up with Mom.

| DCF is NOT going to place you with your boyfriend/his sister. Maybe Dad, maybe foster care. But not your boyfriend/his sister.

| stealth2 is right. You can't be playing house, this is real life. You ran away from home. Your mom could call the cops report you as a runaway and your boyfriend and his sister will get in trouble for harboring a runaway. By staying with them your putting them at risk with the law. You should ask your dad about him getting custody of you and once your 18 and up your an adult and are able to live with whom ever you choose. |
