Hey.

I need options. Right now, the only option I can think of is Adult Protective Services, or APS.

If anyone has a resource I can use, please give it to me.

Thanks.

    These can be very location-specific. A lot of municipalities have their own resources, many of which are specific to gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc.

        Might as well?

        There are no global services which can offer practical assistance to get someone out of an abusive situation. If you or someone else needs help, they need help from an organisation which physically operates where they live.

        If you are, in fact, in the US, you will get more helpful answers if you state which state of the US it is.

        If you're too concerned about confidentiality, a simple search will bring up a lot of sites. If you can't find one local to you, a national helpline will likely know where to refer you to. As long as it is a national helpline for the country where the person lives.

          Gotcha, and I can use Facebook, Instagram, etc.

          Not just Google or Bing or DuckDuckGo.

          Alright, I'll try those as well.

                John Brown gun club. I know you typically post in the poc thread so maybe a Huey p Newton gun club.

                This is dangerous territory to discuss. If you're worried about potential violent confrontation and don't want to involve police, there are options.

                  John Brown Gun Club or Huey P. Newton Club. Gotcha.

                  And the SRA does... what exactly? I guess that depends...

                    I'm not saying any of these groups would do something. I do know that the people who join these groups typically care about their community and would be likely to help. They may not do anything under the official banner of said group.
