aquestion is giving up

Hi everyone,
I've been in contact with a wonderful 14 year old on DS who is going through horrible abuse. His abuser is about to return from a trip and this young man is ready to kill himself rather than have the abuse resume. I have tried to get him to report but he is too afraid of what might happen. Can anyone help? Can you give him a hug and some encouragement? Can you tell your story of how you reported and got justice? Can you sooth some of his fears about still being in danger from his abuser after he reports? On how to report?

Or just a hug and a word of encouragement?

  I don't know what happened to him. I tried to report it somewhere but it was hard to work through bureaucracy and I don't think I helped, just hope I didn't hurt. I don't know if he is still alive or not. I think about him every day and wonder.

  tell him to contact me bc i am in the same exact boat complete. but i am learning that there is better things than death. tell him we need to talk

It's hard growing up but its even harder when you have noone to turn to at home. This is a group where abused kids/teens can all rant, cry and support eachother. Also if you are an adult and were abused as a child.
