(copy pasted and edited from yahoo answers because there's no way I'm typing this again.) Me. Age: 17 Best friend. Age: 15. She's had an online boyfriend for two years, who lives in a completely different state, and through the copious amounts of bullying and bull crap from others, she's been very happy and lasted a very long time. Her mother and father are a wee bit racist(from what I'm told), and constantly tell her that she's tainting the family and all that noise. She has a thyroid condition that affects her weight, but personally I think she looks amazing for that kind of aillment. Now, she is my best friend and I trust her. Her parents only speak spanish and I only speak english. So when she tells me that they say mean things to her, I believe her. Horrible things, too. They call her fat, and a slut, and a whore, and she's never done anything in her life. It's terrible and I can't stand seeing her hurt. So today when she told me she was kicked out, I immediately took a bus across town to come get her. To offer her a place to sleep tonight. Here is the facebook message(copypasted): Margarita Fernandez August 17 at 4:06pm We cnt hang out anymore.... Vicky Tecchio August 17 at 4:25pm ? Sent via Facebook Mobile Margarita Fernandez August 17 at 4:35pm Mom kalled me a dirty slut because she found out me and De'Mari still go out and tht i cnt hang wit u no more Margarita Fernandez August 17 at 4:47pm Vicky my mom wants to kick me out..... Vicky Tecchio August 17 at 4:48pm Im going to try to pick you up at 7. Tonight. Sent via Facebook Mobile Margarita Fernandez August 17 at 4:50pm Im scared. Vicky idk wat to do. Vicky Tecchio August 17 at 5:02pm Wait for me. Sent via Facebook Mobile Margarita Fernandez August 17 at 5:04pm u rly comin ? Vicky Tecchio August 17 at 5:04pm yes dear (sorry it's screwy.) Half-way down the street, her mother called the cops and said that she ran away. When I went to talk to her her brother told me to keep my nose out of it and her mother raised her hand at her because she was getting an attitude. I would chalk it up to being cuban but it's just too risky. long story short, She's safer with me for a few days and I'm extremely worried about her safety. Is there any possible way that I won't get charged for kidnapping if she WANTS to stay with me? (Reid finds it necessary to add that her father had cancer and her mother has some kind of smoking sickness, if that matters.) I'm too worried to sit back and do nothing. Is there anything I can do to keep her with me? 15 hours ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details I didn't exactly mention this because I was in a hurry, but a teacher has called the cops on them before and she herself has called social services. Both of which have been there multiple times and have done nothing helpful. |

she doesn't want to go into social services, that's for sure - I've known people who have and you're not allowed ANYTHING while you're there. Maybe, if you're good, after almost a year, you can get a CD player and music. They give you a place to sleep, and three meals a day. Gross meals, too. From what I've heard. Other than that, I'm no good with legal stuff so I can't really help D: My condolences, though, and good luck! |

I really can't advise anything. That's awful for you both, Roxy =/ You shouldn't get into trouble for helping her out though, not from the law or anything like that. |

Ulta, if her family is being abusive, she might be better of with social services even if it's unpleasant. She herself made the call, so it seems she really wants out. Keep the door open for her, always keep your phone on you or something so she can call you. Even if you can't take care of her, you can support her and that's still very valuable. I can't imagine a seventeen year old girl will be charged with kidnapping if she sleeps at your house for a night, even if her parents do call the cops. I'm sorry, I don't know a thing about these situations. You're a very caring friend to her, though. I'm so sorry and good luck. *hug* |

I'm pretty sure a key component of kidnapping is holding somebody against their will. So I think you should be fine, but I'm no expert on laws, and Florida's aren't the same as Ohio's, so. That said, she's a minor, and they are her parents. As her parents, they have a legal right to keep their child under their roof no matter what, unless that right is taken away from them. Which, it seems that it isn't. Basically, the only way you can keep her with you if her parents don't allow it is if, via social services or whatever, she becomes legally seperated from her parents and then adopted by yours. Otherwise, even if you can get her away from her parents, I don't think you can legally keep her there. That last part is pure conjecture, so to sum up with what I know for sure: Legally, you can't keep her there as long as her parents keep their rights as her legal guardians. |

This got my attention right here. When I spoke to her mother, I was told that never in her life would she kick her own child out of the house. What I can assume is that since she has the mind of an 11 year old, she thought that her mother wanted to kick her out due to whatever the hell her mother was saying. Now, I do not blame her mother for disliking an online relationship, because being Cuban and all, they do not really know much about it, and any news about someone getting raped via dating sites or whatever will obviously make things worse. Speaking of Cubans, 90% of the ones I know in school are extremely racist; they believe that they are superior or some bull like that, personally I blame Fidel. And since she is still a child, she should still obey what her parents say every once in a while, and I know she has some kind of attitude. I don't think there is really much we can do here, in my opinion she should do what her mother told her and try dating someone in real life, because she can't trust someone that she doesn't know, or something like that. (Arty and Els proved otherwise, though.) Because if she keeps it up it will just bring more trouble and she will suffer even more and more, and bring even more trouble to her parents that could die any moment, or at least become unable to do much for her. If her mother was telling the truth, all that she wishes is for her daughter to study and go to college and have a future, she is not asking her to be a super student, just an average one with chances of success, and that her boyfriend be someone that can help her move forward, not someone that she (the mother) doesn't even know nor trusts (and hates due to his ethnicity). You know, one day this same girl was planning to go all the way to North Carolina to visit him, and she was planning to travel by herself, without telling her parents. That was a terrible mistake even for a 15 year old. So in the end I think both parties made a mistake, except that she, as the child, must submit to her parent's rules and try to not have much contact with him or something. Jeez, I can't believe I am commenting on this >_> |

Only thing I feel comfortable commenting on is that if she is reported to the police as a runaway and they find out that you are keeping her without you notifying authorities, it won't be kidnapping, but you will be charged with a crime as an accomplice. |

So do you have any other ideas? Would you rather me say that she should continue to fight and try to convince her mother to let her be with the guy? Or rather, tell her to run away and stay with Rox? Because I really do not know many ways to help her without complicating the issue. |
