I was contacted by a 16 year old who is being extremely physical and emotionally abused by the adopted family. What can we do and what can this 16 year old do?

Lawyer agrees
Answered 26 days ago. Absolutely call the police. If you are looking for a civil remedy (i.e., getting money from the abusers), you can file a lawsuit to recover for the emotional abuse. The more urgent matter is getting the 16-year-old out of harms' way by calling the police (or 911 should the abuse happen again).

Answered 29 days ago. Call the police. If a person is suffering from physical abuse the police will intervene. The next stop would be cps.
