Okay my mom and grandma and I have been fighting. My mom won't talk to me and I'm at my grandmas house. My grandma took a suitcase and sleeping bags and just LEFT. I'm here alone and she could be gone for three nights for all I know. Omg. I'm just going crazy right now. Do I need to call DHS? What should I do???

Taylor, just be calm and don't freak out. I know things might be hard for you right now, but you just need to be calm. The only thing it seems like you can do is wait. So wait until either your grandmother returns or your mother calls, or answers her phone. If nothing happens today then tomorrow morning call DHS, or some other family member who can help. Good luck now, and be safe.

Your grandma may also be back in an hour or two.
Is it possible your Grandma left just to scare you? What have you all been fighting about and for how long?
Your Mom may not be talking to you but I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be alone and afraid.
It may not be a good idea for you to be alone but you may not want to call DHS either. Do you have any other relatives or perhaps a friend you could stay with until things get straightened out?
If you don't have anyone else you can call and you don't hear from your Grandma in a few hours, call your Mom.
It probably isn't a good idea for you to be alone all night so if you have to, Call the authorites .
Don't panic, you have to stay calm and thing clearly.

Leave a note on the counter. go to a friends house.
Who's DHS?
oh. dept of human services
yeah, well it really does depend on your age.
I don't think the DHS is really going to help you much in the long run.
I've heard horror stories about how they can effect your outlook on people and life. This is coming from 2 people I knew that were raised in foster homes.
Go to a friends house
maybe everyone just needs to chill first. I'd give them some time.
damn!!! 13. first. take it easy. Don't get acted up like everyone else. Someone needs to act like an adult here right?
I really suggest against DHS in your case. If they take action, your whole world will spin wildly out of your control. esp in 3 or 4 more years if DHS is involved.
Where's dad? I'd give him a call if possible
Just chill for a bit. stay here on answers, but don't react quickly. take time to think things through or you might make a mistake. You don't need anymore problems right?
Whats the deal with your mom? Is she trying to abondon you?
!!Call your mom from a payphone or at least a different phone. She might thing its your GrMa trying to call

I would just give it a little time. Wait until later tonight and see if anything comes up. If not by tomorrow then I would try contacting your mother, her friends, your grandma or her friends. I dont think that you mom and grandma are neglecting you by any means. They probably are just needing a break from you seeing that you have been feuding with them recently. Just take this time to relax and rethink some of the things you and them have been fighting about and try to come up with a rational decision on all of your view points. You are in a home, you have foot, you are safe. You should be fine for 24 hours. Seeing that you are 13 I believe that you are mature enough to carry yourself through the day and clean up after yourself. Relax, stay calm and try and use this time as personal time from your family rather than making it a rant about it and trying to make things worse than what they are.

I would suggest against calling DHS if you are worried about your dog. They will not be able to do anything for the dog other than have animal control take it to the shelter. If you cannot reach your father, try other relatives until you get someone who can either come get you, or get ahold of your mom and tell her that she is real close to being up for child neglect and endangerment. It really sounds like you need help beyond what you can get here on an answer board. You are old enough to be able to take care of yourself for a bit, just be careful and keep trying to find a relative or a close friend you trust.

I don't know what the problem is, but it obvious that the situation bothers you and you care. So if I were as upset at you I would call my mother and ask her if she would give you just a minute of her time and try to work it out. Let her know how much you love her and see if she will help you in getting your grandma home.

i'd call DHS because your mom or grandma is supposed to be taking care of you. Leaving a kid alone for three nights is just really not a great idea!

Here's what you do: call up your Mom and tell her in a very simple, matter of fact way that you're home alone. Try and leave emotions out of it. Your Mother is responsible for you, whether you're fighting or not, and if something bad happens to you she'll feel horrible and she could get in trouble with the law.

Hon i would call your mom and if she doesnt want to help you then i would call dhs or the police station and tell them that you are at your grams becuase your mom is treating you bad and that your gram just up adn left you by yourself and that she took her sleeping bag and such or see if your freind will allow you to have the dog with you even if it has to be tied up outside either way call someone.
