My friend told me that her parents have been mentally and physically abusing her for years now, and she can’t handle it anymore. She told me she called this number that…I don’t know how to really describe it but, it’s like a safe house for children and teens, and she told this man her story (she also told her story to the vice principal at our school and some other teachers) and the man wants to meet with her parents to discuss the problem and she said that if the man thinks she’s in a bad situation, he’s going to take her away and either have her live with another family member, or put her in foster care. She said the guy was coming to her house tonight but when I texted her and asked her if he came, she said he never showed up. I told my mom everything, and she immediately started crying and said that she wanted to take my friend in until one of my friends family members could, but, my friend declined the offer because I have cats and she’s deathly allergic. Even though the man did not show up tonight to talk to her parents, are they still going too? And if they do, will they take her away? :( Sorry if I’m making no sense. I’m terrible at explaining things…-__-
Are social services going to take my best friend away?

The man didn’t show up? That isn’t just something you forget about, or skip because you’ve made plans. Is it possible your friend is trying to get attention? I don’t mean to say she is like that, but she did decline your offer to leave he abusive family because of your pets.
I understand what you’re talking about. I got taken away by social services last year because I was being sexually abused for 4 years at home. Right now, I live with my mom (parents are divorced).
She’ll most likely live with another family member. But if for some reason they can’t take her in, then she’ll have to go to foster care. They probably will take her away because she told them what happened. It’s not like they would just leave her there to suffer…They get paid to make sure children are safe. Now that social services is involved, it’ll turn into a case and her parents will have to go to court. The authorities and social workers will get involved until it’s all sorted out. It will probably be one of the hardest times of her life, so be there for her and don’t lose contact no matter where she goes. She will need you more than anything. I never had anyone there for me. That situation changed me and my life. A lot. If you need to talk to me or have any questions, feel free :) melissa@cvmoore.com
