can you put yourself in a foster home
TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
can you put yourself in a foster home if your only 15?
TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey thanks for contacting us here at TEEN LINE. Laws change from state from state, and foster care really depends on each different situation. But, if you are in a situation that needs intervention, I want you to know that there are laws protecting kids in every state. I'll give you this national website http://www.childhelp.org/get_help if you want to learn more. And here is the number for the National Child Abuse Hotline 800-422-4455. They may be able to give you more information about the laws in your state. I also encourage you to call us here at TEEN LINE at 310-855-4673 from 6 to 10 pm PST.
