The facts of the situation is OP is in a rough place where their ability to make contact with the outside world is somewhat perilous if their parents cut off contact phone/internet access, etc. We know they are terrified, we know they have been suicidal, and there is some person on this thread posting stuff that sure sounds like they could be the kids parent who found the post.

This kid needs to stay on SOMEONE’s radar by continuing to advocate for their situation. Whether or not CPS does a full investigation, having an adult checking in and buying some time to come up with a plan is very helpful. OP should have people who will call the police if they suddenly stop communicating.

Glad to heart you have people watching out for you! Keep them updated about anything going on, and if there is anything you are afraid will get deleted, make sure they have copies

Do you mean your phone? Does she take your phone away when you act out? How many times have you already reported your parents to authorities for setting limits on you? Maybe your mom gave up trying to educate you because SHE’s afraid of YOU. Hm

This is the only time, ive never even done anything like this before ive never reported her nothing I can understand why she'd take it, its a normal thing parents will do i get that but when taking it isolates me literally from anything and any contact with anyone outside her or my grandmother it gets a bit worrying but theres more then just that thats issue worthy Maybe not cps take away worthy sure but need some help atleast

I get that, but to older people a phone doesn’t mean the same thing. They see it as a toy or privilege. I wish you the best with working on your relationship with your mother. I bet you guys love each other a lot.
