>>10 >>11 Holy shit, calm down. On the personal board we shouldn't be accusing people of faking things until proven otherwise. It's better to be safe or sorry. When Jocan straight up asks you to buy them a switch, then we can say they're not serious.
Also, the way that you phrased things in
>>10 makes it seem like you were encouraging Jocan to harm themselves. I get it was probably just to prove the point, but your advice is coming off unecessarily aggressive. I don't think what you said was wrong, just no need to degrade somebody who's asking for help.
We don't know how old Jocan is, so they might actually not have very many moments by themselves. We also don't know what country Jocan lives in (and if in the US, what state) so in terms of the law we can't be sure how protected they truly would be if they were to call the police. Even in the US, in very small towns dealing with the police department can be tricky when it comes to domestic violence.
OP, you should research the laws in your area. I hope the police can help you. I think you should follow Ceska's advice. Take what you will from omverse too, because their main points weren't wrong.
You're right to believe that you need a solid plan. Like you said, if things don't go well the first time, your safety is at risk. And if things do go well, there's still the question of where to go once you're away from your abusers. If you're a minor, then most likely the government will take care of you. (You should look up laws specific to your area about how this goes.) If not, you'll have to look into homeless shelters / safe houses in your area. This may be increasingly difficult since we're in a pandemic (not sure how bad it is in your area though), but some places should still have hotlines up. Don't stop trying.
Stay strong, be smart, and be careful. You're not alone, you can do this.
