answer:We probably aren’t legally supposed to tell you to do anything other than tell adults and get the police and CPS to help you. However, all things considered, I think that may be the best thing, and the main choice is about which adults to tell. I would try to think if there are any adults you know who seem like they would be most sympathetic, helpful, and able to help. Relatives, good adults you used to know (teachers, parents of friends, ministers), or even nearby religious people (e.g. Buddhists, ministers). While I won’t suggest what you should do, I could at least say what I imagine I might think and do if I were in a situation like yours: First, I would be careful that no one can discover that you are using the Internet to seek help, especially not the nastier drug dealers. I would be careful to get in at little trouble as possible with the dangerous people you live with. Second, I would very carefully gather what info I can on the nasty drug dealers. Third, if it were me, I would go to the most supportive adult I could get to, and with their help (by telling them the horrible things you’ve experienced and insisting they can’t take you back to them) take my chances with CPS, and bring a pile of incriminating evidence on both your parents and the nasty drug dealers and people who messed with you to the police. The narcotics division. Get as many of them arrested as possible, and hopefully get the assistance of police so you get better help with CPS. I would do that because your parents need intervention and help, and none of those people should be doing what they’re doing. Most importantly, you shouldn’t be in that situation. And, I think that trying being homeless has too high a chance of turning out just as badly. And, if you run away and get caught and your parents are NOT in jail, you might end up being sent back to them. Living as a homeless 14-to-16-year-old girl with no support is very hard, and what happens depends on who you find, and there are many many people just as awful as the ones you’re with now. If I were running away, I would try to find the most trustworthy ally possible, but it’s hard because it’s probably highly illegal to give you assistance running away from you’re parents (especially if they’re not in jail yet), which is part of why I get back to wanting to get them arrested.
