Need advice on what to do please?

I hope someone here can really help me as very worried about my neice.

She came to my house tonight and asked to stay crying her heart out. When I asked what was wrong she said she hates home but would not tell me what has happened or anything. Lucky her girlfriend told me as she talked to her about it and her mum hits her and shouts at her. She has phoned child line and is staying with me for now but she can’t stay here for good as not got the room. I heard her crying herself to sleep tonight and saw brushes on her to. It thanks to her girlfriend she not done anything silly as has before in the past. Please what should I do as she is only 12 coming 13 next month. She is one sad girl and only person to turn to that she talks to is her girlfriend. Sorry if this is bit long.

Answer #1

I never like leaving any details on any site but it’s the UK

Answer #2

I know hollie and I will do my best to have her here and see if we can get a bigger place and look after her. I will not let her go to care as she been through enough in her life and that would be hitting the bottom for her and know she would not like that and try self harm again if she did.

Answer #3

Good on her for calling child line, they should have explained to her what to do next. Just be there for her and listen to her. Distract her from whats happend to get her to calm herself and release some tension. It must be a very frightening experience for her and she must trust you enable to confide in you. it would be very helpful if you could let her stay with you until social services get in contact with you, from there they will be able to provide some sort of accommdation where she will be safe.

Answer #4

It was her girlfriend who told her to phone them and gave her the number. She seemed happy when she was chatting to her online tonight and laughing too which was good. She got good one there. As soon as her girlfriend went offline she broke down again.

I will always be here for her no matter what happens and don’t really want to see her go to care as know she is so scared of that and told me she don’t want to and keeps saying she wants to be with girlfriend but they are both to young to do that and this girls mum would not let that happen. When they are older they want to be together as she told me that.

She puts all her trust in her girlfriend and I got her to thank for making her phone childline

Answer #5

Its likely that she could go into care according to the severity of the situation. Quite frankly she wont have a choice of going into care if shes at risk of being abused again by her mother. It’s the duty by law for social service to protect her. Just talk to her and distract her, it is quite fightening as I said before so she just needs some raessurance and hopefully she’llbe ok.

Answer #6

Ok thanks for your help but she has been through a lot at home stalked on the net and nearly raped so she has been to hell really and one shy and scared girl. She will also miss this site which she is not on at the moment as was too young to be here but I did not know that until she told me.

Answer #7

Your profile doesn’t indicate what country you are in. If it is the U. S. then she and/or you should contact the child protective service agency in your state. They would be able to deal with the situation and make sure that she is protected.
