Pat's Answer

Welcome to Ask Pat,

Thank you for taking the time to ask us this question before you decide what you will do.

We would want you to know that we are concerned that you are thinking about running away, as this could put you in an unsafe position and you have the right to be safe.
When we say you could put yourself in an unsafe position, we mean that you might run away to a dangerous situation which could have negative consequences. 

We would not be able to give you advice on running away but you could contact us to chat about why you feel you want to run away and we could explore what your options are together. 

You have been very brave reaching out to Childline today. Our phone service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you feel you would like to talk about this some more. Our Freephone number is 1800 66 66 66. You can also contact us every day through our LiveChat service through this website or through our text service at 50101.

Take care,
Pat.
