    Default My Girlfriend's Parents Mentally and Physically Abuse Her

    me and my gf live in ohio. i'm 18 and she is 16. my mother and father are together and live in a stable home. her parents are divorced and are not stable. her mother has residential custody of her. her mother and father yell at her for no reasons at all. i have witnessed them in person and over phone. they have told her to kill her self(while pointing at a shotgun), told her that she is worthless, and is a waste of time and money. they always tell her that they don't want her. so she goes from her fathers to her mothers house. not only that but her father has abused her physically. as a result of this abuse she has gotton OCD and has trust issues. i was just wondering what the likley hood of her living with my family or even a foster house till she is 18 is. she can't keep living there. she brings up sucide every other week. im not a specialist but that is not healthy, i know there is no emancipation law in ohio. so what are her choices as well. thanks

    If she is being abused, Child Protect Services needs to be involved IMMEDIATELY.

    They will investigate, and perhaps a GAL (guardian ad litem) will be assigned who will look at what's best for your girlfriend.

    One thing is virtually guaranteed - she won't be placed with your family.
