Family breakdown, child out on the street
|
|
|
No one is able to help
In my line of work I have to deal with local authorities, local council, social services and police etc, yet nobody wants to touch this case or put in place any continuous support.

I am working with a young girl of 17 whose mother kicked her out thinking the local council will re-home her. The girl did not want to leave the family home but her mother and stepfather are adamant they do not want her back.

| 04-6-2008 | I know this might sound harsh but if you have not got anywhere to live then you need to ditch the college course and get a full time job. The priority is to get the maximum amount of money coming in so you can put a roof over your head, this must be the priority. You can always restart college at ...more | In the real world |
| 25-2-2008 | What state is this girl in? Many churches would help this girl. Also if she is in college check with her councillor tey may know of some resources. | Georgie |
| 23-2-2008 | Thanks for sharing this story. My heart is saddened by her parents actions. My wife and I faced devastating problems with our two teens and a good friend advised me to boot my son out of the house. We couldn't do it because, although there seemed to be no hope for him then, we feared the worst i...more | Glenn |

| 24-9-2007 | please can you tell me where some girls homes are located in the st.louis area. I am facing some problems within the home. I need to know as soon as possible. I am about to be put out tomorrow. thank you and goodnight. | reasie1708 |
| 14-6-2007 | I reckon that you should go and let her stay with you, she obviously feels emotionally attrated to you and that would be nice wouldn't it. just dont let her go back to her mother otherwise you know what could happen, big mistake!!!! | big mommas house!!! |
| 13-6-2007 | oops just read your post and looks like its sorted.... still she could get her tax back! | bob |
| 07-6-2007 | That's really bad. I can sympathise. My mum kicked me out a few years ago, but in a very polite way of course.
My boyfriends mother absolutely refused to let me stay for even one night a week, and when I went to the 'young homeless offices' explaining that I was in fact young, and ho...more | yoyo |
| 07-6-2007 | Thank you everyone for the nice and helpful comments! Apart from St. Bernadette.
(well,there's always one). The offer of the room was very lovely and compassionate and helps restore my faith in the goodness of man and the au-pair idea is one that I will put to her and will probably use again i...more | concernedcat |
| 07-6-2007 | Poor young girl,some parents are hard-hearted arent they. If you go to http://www.connexions-direct.com/ they have a section on homelessness, and they may be able to liase with the council on her behalf. Have you also considered maybe a house share for her, when I left home at 17 due to family pro...more | flower |
| 07-6-2007 | Poor girl. You could try Refuge - they will often help young women as a priority and are national.
