my cousin is running away from home after years of being emotionally abused in an unsafe environment (their house). I am happy to welcome them in my home and even help them, as I have been doing this past few weeks. The problem is their father is a lawyer, and I live pretty close to their house. Like pretty close. They're planning to go to my house first, before going to a protection center in our city. there was an article i checked that stated that under our country (PH)'s law, it is "unlawful for a child to leave under their guardian's care". Are there any tips on how I can help them or what they should do first? They have a few thousand pesos (3.5k).
