My niece needs help, any suggestions?

Hello,

My wife and I do not know what to do. We have a niece who has cut herself (which got her put into the hospital for a week) and is now actively trying to run away from her parents (police just brought her back). Child services has come to the house because she called them and said her parents were abusing her. They did an investigation and found nothing. Now she called again about something new after the police brought her home from running away. Does anyone have suggestions?

They’re three states away from us and they’ve moved away from their support network (family and friends). My wife was thinking of taking time off to go up and try to help and talk to her. We just aren’t sure if that’s a good idea.

Really worried about her. Her mom and dad do not know what to do.

Yes, She is seeing a therapist.
