I Need Answers Please!!
Posted: 12-11-05 20:42pm

This really has nothing to do pregnancy but im so worried and so scared and its pretty much life threatening to me:
can I get arrested for running away?
I mean I have a really good reason why-its all my step father's fault and ok some of it is mine because I might be pregnant but he abuses me lots. He is sick and twisted and gross and its mental and physical abuse both at the same time. Like he hurts me and touchs me and does stuff to me that he shouldnt and if I try and fight back he will hurt me?
But can I or not? Does anyone know?
Please help me
if you want you can even email me at blu_ eyes_jc@hotmail.Com
thank you so much if you do help me

It is not illegal to run away from those situations, but you need somewhere to go, and you need to contact social services. When you are abused and pregnant, there are special resources available to you to help you get away. You need to contact your local department of social services. Many states consider a pregnant teen to be an emancipated minor.
