I was abused most of my youth. I promise you, a child who thinks a shelter is better than their house is being abused or witnessing abuse.

[WILDANDPEACEFUL]

The fact that the mother withdrew the child from school and never enrolled her in another school is very telling.

Every child deserves a parent but not every "parent" deserves a child.

When a child/teenager feels safer living in a shelter than at home, something is very wrong!

[zacharyballew]

This young lady is a prime example of breaking the cycle, wanting more for yourself and making it happen and she is so young still. Skies the limit young lady.

[santricemcpherson]

proud of her actually going to a shelter for help and not the streets...praying all will be well with her and brother

Not at a friends house, not out partying, but at a shelter. Speaks volumes.

[sobeliever]

The nerve of this woman, knowing what she did and acting like that.

[jpeeezy]

I'm glad they listened to her and took her seriously. This doesn't happen enough.

[aristotlekumpis]

The way her mom said “I’m looking for you!” seemed like she was pissed off more than worried.

[Itschungfah]

That GoFund Me should be withdrawn from the mother. The child deserves all of it. What a courageous young woman.

[jazmynbrown]

These kids are being abused at home and then considered delinquents when they run away. That shouldn’t be.

[coolkidstatus]

That "I'm looking for you, " kinda felt like a threat

[vintagedarling]

She said “I’m looking for you” with absolutely no tears in her eyes!

[RomeAlone_s]

Everything comes to light. Good thing the young lady is alive and well

[CreativeExpression]

That girl was smart to get away! Usually when parents like this disenroll their kids from school they do so to continue abusing them. She’s so strong ! Wishing her nothing but the best.

As a former runaway and child abuse victim, I know the courage it takes to choose homelessness over staying at “home.” I also know the trauma of telling officers why I ran away and telling CPS throughout the years with no positive outcome. God bless these children. God bless all children…seeking refuge and love. 💛🙏🏽

I hope that those babies aren't separated and get placed in a loving home

[kimbermichelle]

She saved herself, now I hope her and her baby brother be placed safely 🙏

She seems the type to tell her daughter to get out of her house because she hates her, but then calls the cops when she runs away.
