I have a 13 year old niece that lives in texas with her mom and dad. She recently contacted me because she is very unhappy in texas to where she is having suicidal thoughts. Her dad has abused her mom( which is my sister) and is verbally abusive. I am scared that there is more going on than what i know. My niece cant really talk over the phone because her parents are always around and im just scared that she will take her life because her parents dont understand her and will just yell at her if she were to tell them the truth. Is there any way that i can go to court and get custody of her? I live in california so i would figure that i would have to go to texas too get answers too. Please direct me in the right direction so i can help my niece. Im very worried for her safety.
