Due to abusive parents, should I be put in a position to get into foster care, could I ask to be placed with a fictive kin? I'm 16 which as an older youth, it's hard to find a foster home. I live in Washington state.
My boyfriend's aunt took care of me for 4 months while my parents and I fought. I respect her greatly and feel more at home over there then at my own home. I'm able to go there on weekends.
I was just put on as an at youth risk because my parents falsey promised me a good life if I pretended I was indeed the problem.
I used to be a runaway over the abuse but haven't spoken out yet. Tomorrow I'm calling my attorney and showing him pictures of bruises on my arms from being thrown and kicked. I also suffered years of emotional abuse, hard to show evidence for but I will try my best to convey it.
Is it likely I could get placed with his aunt?
Or would I be placed in foster care or another option?
Thank you~
