[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]eh, the mother of this kid was reading her diary for a reason.  Maybe the mom suspected that something was up with her daughter and was worried about her so she decided to read the diary only to discover what (for her) were some real bombshells about her kid.

She cussed her kid out because she was feeling very stressed out/worried/freaked out/scared to death.  Then her daughter ran off.  Mom had know idea where she was.

And when mom found out that her daughter had left the state to go to her 23 year old cousin's apartment - she flipped out again.  I think that most parents would flip out if their teenager left the state w/o their permission and went to stay with a 23 year old.

Op - you are hearing one side of this story and that is coming from a very emotional teen.  You are judging a mom for flipping out and not using polite language.  You are considering "legal options", possibly calling CPS.

If CPS was called every time a parent cussed out their teenager you would never be able to get through to them.

I think this kid (and her mother) need a weekend away from each other.  Emotions are running high right now.  Let them simmer down a bit and then maybe they can try to sort things out with each other.

Did you read the whole thread? The parents are threatening her and disowning her, neither of which are rational reactions. [/quote]
