What can I do about physical abuse as a 17-year-old?
I have been facing mental and physical abuse from my father for the past 4-5 years. I am 17 years old, and the situation is getting worse day by day. My father is not even scared of the law when I threaten him with legal action. What should I do? Should I wait until I am older to leave my home? And if I leave my home after taking legal action, will the government take care of me, or will I have to take care of myself?
As a minor, you have the right to protection under the Juvenile Justice Act. You can approach the police, child welfare committees, or NGOs. If the situation worsens, consider legal action to move to a safe environment. The government can provide care and support. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
