i think the father is smarter now about the law, he knows not to hit because he could go to jail, but he does threaten to kill them if they report anything, he uses his scare tactics
another attorney recently told me she should contact the police to tell them she isn't a runaway and have them meet her at the house to show them she is there and not running away and also she shouldn't fear going to school because they would not put her in jail for a week as they said, they may just hold her till her parents come - is that correct?
we advised our niece follow the above advise and to go back to school and that we could call the police as well to back up what she tells them
i just wish they could get an interpreter there to hear his threats toward her
