What Will Happen if I Call a Child Abuse Hotline?

Question by &Iwaslike…: What will happen if I call a child abuse hotline?
I’m a seventeen year old female, my mother tortures me emotionally and sometimes physically. She always calls the cops on me for no reason. She intentionally tries to humiliate me by bashing me in public and I have to go everywhere with her. I’m not allowed to hangout with friends and I”m grounded every single weekend for no reason. My boyfriends parents think that I need to move out because my mom is so abusive I’m so embarrassed because everyone in my neighborhood knows me as the girl that’s abused and I don’t know what to do anymore… My mom locks me in the house and she takes the phones away from me so I can’t talk to anyone, also she has a narcotic addiction. I’m never allowed to leave the house unless I’m going somewhere with her. I just can’t take the name calling anymore…She even says that she thinks I’m retarded and stupid I clearly know that I’m not but it just kills me when I hear her say these things. What should I do? My boyfriends aunt said that I can live with her for about four months when I turn 18 in the summer after my freshman year. Shes a really nice woman so should I go? Or should I risk not having anywhere to live? I just don’t know what to do!

My mom is so controlling that she doesn’t even let me say certain things, I can never cry because she tells me that I have a mental issue and she constantly threatens to put me in a psych ward. I can’t take the abuse and the control. I’m just trying to move on with my life so I can go to college next year.

I want to call an abuse hotline but I don’t know what will happen, will they call child protective services? I just need someone to talk to because I have no idea what to do, I’m an only child and its just me and my mom. I want to go to college next year and I don’t want anything to get messed up.

*Sorry this is so long, I just have no clue what to do*
Thank you so much Kv
