Answer by Shy
Honestly, you can leave the house whenever you want, but if you’re under 18 it’s pretty much known as “running away”, although with circumstances like these, it’s understandable. If it’s only happened once and it wasn’t that hard of left a mark, there is no reason to get worried, esp if she did something wrong, but if it has happened multiple times for no reason, you should get someone involved or talk to her and/or her father about it.

I was slapped many times by my parents. As a result it kept me out of jail.
I was slapped by my mom as a kid. It was illegal then and now too. I was raised to beleive that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD A MAN EVER!EVER HIT A WOMAN. She does not have to wait until she is 18 to leave. She is in a dangerous situation. Tell her to talk to a counselor at school before she moves out, but she needs to get out of that situation! DOES THE DAD HIT THE MOM TOO?
Your BRAT of a girlfriend CLAIMS it was for no reason. She is LYING. What you describe is NOT abuse.
