writes: Hi, I live in Washington, 17 yrs old and I need help getting emancipated in some way.Ive looked up how to get emancipated in WA, problem is, i cannot get a license because im not recieving help, nor can i get a job because i cannot get taken to get applications or return them. I am not allowed on the computer or cannot have a cell phone. I cannot contact family becuase they'll prevent me from trying to emancipate. I have little connection to friends.My dad is menatlly/Verbally abusive toward me, my sisters and step mother. He drinks, legally smokes weed and always around childern under age 10 to the point of asking what type of plants and how a pipe works.There are threats of physical harm. Its to the point that im afraid for my life when it gets to that point. There is a pedofile living on the property when he is not supposed to.There is a restraining order on some one i knew because of...Online Adultry i guess i can say. I am not sure if that would prevent me being granted emancipation. My current boyfriend, whom my parents dislike very much becuase he is 15 and seems to think he thinks about sex constantly. Not true. He lives right next to our high school, and very close to the store. I have considered moving in with him and his family. They are alright with that. He was a...Bad kid, but ive made a good impact on him, good grades, nominations, stuff like that (: and he's saved me from harmming myself.Ive looked into foster care...not what im looking for. Ive looked to see if i can change guardians, and found nothing. I have been told to call CPS a few years back, ive been too afraid to knowing i most likely should. My boyfriend is worried for me, my life. He's gone through lengths to get me phone so he knew he wouldnt lose me. Right now,we're both not sure what to do.Any help would be appericiated. Thank you

reader, anonymous, writes (4 July 2012): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI am not able to record such things as i am not supposed to have a phone. i do have written documents on some things, however my boyfriend actually has them becuase i didnt want my parents finding them or the documentation actually ended up in a note i would give him during school.
I am not also able to call childhelp because my phone for the voice through does not work very well. I do have a handful of people who im sure are more than willing to help.
I will see what i can do with the little i have, thank you much so.

The CPS are very much a scary prospect because there's a lot of red tape, they're a government agency and it seems so official.
Give childhelp a call or go to one of their offices locally.
They will have all the information you need and the services you can contact to get help. OP does your phone have a voice recorder or video recorder? Next time he blows up switch that on and have it in your pocket when that's happening, he can deny all he wants or make you look bad all he wants, he can't refute that kind of evidence so it may come in useful as long you don't ever tell him you have that. Also keep a well hidden journal of times and dates with descriptions of the abuse, the words he used etc. You see OP it's all about taking control here, you're nearly 18 and nearly free to go be an independent adult but before you do that start to take greater control here, start building up a body of evidence against him and start regaining some power.
Do these things OP and you will have greater protection for yourself, try not to rock the boat or respond to his abuse just yet. Bide your time until such a time as you hit 18 then just imagine the look on his face when you legally tear this asshats world apart with injunctions, and all sorts of legal orders against him. He won't know what hit him.
Take care, stay safe and contact childhelp as soon as you read this.
