My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: so my niece will be 16 next month (July) and her parents just found out she was gay. They took her phone, her bedroom door off and have been ignoring her since they found out. She has not left her bedroom but to go grab a bit to eat and come back. She has been through child abuse when she was younger and we went to court for that and everything. Now this. She wants to live out and live with her aunt where she can be happy and took care of and loved. Her mother loves her but her and her husband (not the child's father) will not condone her being gay and will have and it and says she will change. She cannot change her heart and I feel like they are neglecting her and emotional abusing her. She doesn't have a phone to talk to anyone, doesn't go anywhere from the house, in her room all the time and they don't talk to her, and she is really unhappy. My worry is she has been through so much already and as a teenager she already had a lot on her plate and now this. I'm afraid she may go off the deep end if they keep on like this with her. I'm not saying she will nor has she gave me any signs of it but I know a teenager and I know suicide/depression rates are higher in them. What can I do to get her outta the house and living where she will be happy and able to be herself??
