Such a sad story Linda. I ran away when I was 16 because I was getting beaten and molested by my stepdad. The cops found me and brought home. I chose to transfer to a differnt school because people knew I ran away. The abuse at home continued, but I moved out 9 days after my 18th bithday.

I had to pay a small tuition to go to school outside my district, but I met great friends and was surviving until I got out of the house. Just thought I would mention it in case she had more issues. Thanks for sharing! LVYA!!!!!!!!!!!!
