Location: England.
Hi, I’m 23 years old and a child of an abusive parent. I have several younger siblings still living at home with said parent. One of the children (16 years old) is struggling mentally due to the verbal and psychological abuse. He wants to leave home and go and live with either myself or our grandmother. How do we go about helping him leave legally when the parent won’t give them permission to leave and will do everything in her power to keep him there? He’s started running away to get to safe family members but has now had his tires punctured by the parent so he can’t get away from the house. I’ve been reporting back incidents within the house to the police and social services but unfortunately neither are doing anything to act on what is happening.
