God Blimey!!!!!! (14)
sxc666: Ok this is a first for me.Her is the story. I'm hoping you guys can help me out.Amber had a friends show up at 9pm tonight. She stayed here a couple of nights a few weeks ago, because her Mum kicked her out.
I spoke to her briefly and asked what was going on.
She said she doesn't get on with her step dad, and he has tried to kiss her...........I said;
If that is true what you are saying it is wrong ( I don't think i was that polite though).
I said if it isn't true, you are tagging someone with a horrible accusation, so you need to think about what you are saying.She seemed to clam up after that. I know there is something wrong, whether it is her lying, or a cry for help and she is scared I have no idea.In the meantime I have listened to her and suspected she as sleeping on the streets.
Its just been confirmed she is, at the back of Bi-Lo the supermarket.
My question is now, who do I contact to help this girl out?
I will go and get her shortly and bring her back here. And I want to contact her mother and find out what is going on exactly. I know she needs help, but its who to contact first................bloody hell.
Docs the police, nobody for now.
She is only 15 years old. I have to bring her back here. I won't sleep tonight knowing she is sleeping where she is.

I think you are very thoughtful but please be careful where you tred. I don't know what to advise. Sorry
SXC,
from a person who was kicked out of home at 16.
Please go and get her, just ask that she contact her mum and tell her mum she is safe. Please dont make her tell her mum where she is.
It'll just make her feel a bit safer and feel that she has some control, if she doesnt have to face whatever it is that shes running from. Who knows if the accusations are true. But at this point the kid isnt safe until she's at your place or someone elses.
You're a great lady and this kindness could make all the difference in this girls life.

you do have to becareful sxc so many girls do give false accusations about that ..but obviously she does need help... there are help lines you can talk to there in the phone book ..maybe they will have the best answer for you .....
I would assume if you contacted police, they let the family know she is ok and then if she was to inform them on the step father, then they can investigate it and take appropriate action. They wouldn't be likely to place her back into the family home if there is an allegation there. They will put her in safe hands and suss it all out.
If you get her tonight, you should atleast call the Access Line in the morning and they can guide you in the right direction.
She is very lucky to have you looking out for her.

I would be inclined to ring child welfare and i think they can arrange safe houses and social workers to help.
bloody hell poor kid
bloody hell poor kidI'd ring her mum 1st...get your instincts about how she reacts and go from there...OR call an info line of some sort and get some advise as where to go from there...
that's what i'd do....i'd also keep tabs on it...coz the mother could cover things up....GO WITH YOUR INSTINCTS...I KNOW YOU'VE GOT IT!...

Im just so glad you care sxc! I wish you and her all the best!
Awesome! PHEW HEY!! I do think though if it was my kid, i'd take her to councelling to sort our mother/daughter relationship out, or atleast get her to chat to someone privatly so she can have some help sifting out thing's in her lil head...can be a very confusing time in a kids life...maybe there's stuff going on in her life she can't talk to her mum about?...that way she could talk to somebody else about it?...INTENSE STUFF HEY!!
missed all this, but that was a caring & thoughful thing you did sxc, without turning a blind eye to the situation but now at least you know what you are dealing with
Shell225: You did the right thing, which was to think of the childs personal safety first, and worry about the wheres and whys second. As a mum, I hope that if my daughter is ever in trouble, her friends have a mum like you.
She certainly sounds mixed up, and its dreadfully sad, for the girl and her family. Your a great mum Sxc

Well done Kizzie good advice.
Thanks all. Things seem ok, she has stayed at home for now.
I'm just keeping tabs on it, that's all I can do at this stage.

Ebony8Ivory: I don't know how Qld. works, however, in NSW, if you call the police they will immediately inform DoCS and/or 'The Street Team' (who are DoCS) and they will find crises accommadation fro her. In the meantime, her case will be investigated before she is released into the custody of her parent/s, unless it is discovered that she is telling the truth. Either way, the services will assing her to a case worker who will monitor her and look after her basic needs which include financial assistance, housing, clothes and food.
If you're interested, email me and I will give you my personal contact details, however, the only information I can give is NSW based). Tomorrow I could discuss this with our Youth Worker (with your approval) and find out what options are available.
In case you're wondering - my field is "Youth at Risk" and I work with 'these' kids every day.
Good luck, I'm here if you need me.
Cheers
