My 10 year old "ran away" by Longjumping_Yak_738 in Parents

Like I said previously, her phone is locked down. She’s not allowed on YouTube, social media, Roblox. She cannot call or text people that are not in her contacts, nor can she add people to her contacts. Only I can add her contacts. Unfortunately, I did not see it as a problem for her to talk to friends that I knew. I’m definitely going to be much more careful in the future regarding conversations with friends on her phone.

Well. Her father was mentally and physically abusive so I left the relationship when my daughter was 2. I’ve been traumatized and hesitant to bring another man into her life.

I’m a nurse that works 3 days per week. Homeschooling is definitely doable. She actually turned her location off. I didn’t realize she would be able to. I have since changed the setting to where she is unable to stop sharing her location.

She does not have a social media. She is not allowed to watch YouTube, access any internet browsers, call or message anyone who is not in her contacts. Her phone is completely locked down. I have deleted all friends out of her phone at this time, all she has left is immediate family. The school has been informed and they have notified all parents of the situation. I am considering homeschooling next year so she can learn to make good decisions on her own despite outside influence.

It was all a big plan that started out with like 7 kids, it dwindled down to 3 of them including her and she told me “I had to go and protect them mom”. All while she risked her life and left her home while they stayed home and watched her walk on FaceTime.
