  • As a private citizen, you have a right to intervene in any situation where you believe a minor is being abused. First step is to call your local police. advise the officer of the situation and let him investigate. if there is evidence of child abuse, the officer will contact the dept. of human services and one of their investigators will also interview you and the child. Do not be afraid to contact the police. if this child is being abused, call the police and let them investigate. Your suspicions may have merit. you will never know until you make that call.
  • If you feel there is abuse in that home, contact the police department and the social workers may look for a family member to send the child to, but even if the child does go to a Foster Care home the 14 year old is much safer environment.
  • You should call the local public child services if you have reason to believe there is abuse. They will evaluate the situation without getting police involved, unless warranted.
  • Child Welfare / Police should be involved. A lot of the time they try placing the child (teenagers in this case) with extended family members, friends of families if appropriate or even if she does go into the system, depending on where you live, she might be eligible to go into a semi-independent living program where they teach her to live on her own, with a support person assisting them (either residing with her or on a drop in/on call basis. There are lots of options that could be discussed with a child protection worker.
  • You need to save that child. You need to report it. They won't know you did it, it is confidential. How would you feel if they killed her and you did nothing to stop it? Imagine how scared that child is, and how this will effect her for the rest of her life. She will more than likely abuse her children as well. Help her and help some unborn children.
  • You can call and give a "tip" to Children's protective Services without giving your name ... IF they find the charges are real ; then they will try to find a family member for the girl to stay with ...
  • report it is all you can do, legally. if you try to approach the child about the matter, you could be accused of this yourself. i am proud you want to help, but please be careful. i am strongly against child abuse. if there are any further questions on this matter, please ask. and please be careful about this matter
