Can a police officer force an 14-year-old to go home to an abusive family member if she fears for her life?

you have the right to protect yourself and be safe you half to tell a social worker to help you out most cops can't really do any thing about it just send you back unless you call the cops while she is hitting you but i hope it don't comes to that

If the cop can't see any signs of abuse, they have no other choice than to return the child back home. The child could be fabricating the story as far as the officer knows. If there IS proof the officer needs to look into and doesn't, then there may be some issues.. but they don't have to start a full out investigation of interviewing witnesses just because the 14 year old says something. They may need physical proof such as markings.

unless there were signs of abuse they really can't step in, you would be amazed the children that say they are abused just because they are mad. if she is honestly being hurtshe needs to find someone that can speak on her behalf and have actual proof, this type of thing is very tricky, sad but unfortunately true

It all depends on the situation. What kind of "abuse" are we talking about here? ARe there marks on the body to show where she were hit or beaten? You need to give more details on the abuse, otherwise we can't say.

No. He should have called " Child Protective Services" . You can call them yourself.
