Until she knows for sure her parents won't get her escorted anywhere else, it's better she is safe and healing somewhat with those helping her.
It won't be easy for her to trust her parents because even though they thought she would be getting help at TBS, she wasn't. It is such a complicated issue and yes, the parents made the decision to get help for her but I bet they were petrified and basing their decison on a stupid ed-con's advice.
NO matter what coping facade a visting child from TBS gives to their family/friends when they visit home, they're hurting. And scared. And some, like Emily, plotting to escape.
Perhaps her family should be thankful there are people helping her, feeding her etc (the parents may not view it that way intially).
Stay safe Emily. There are ways to send emails via hushmail.com that cannot be traced back if you can let your parents know you're okay.
Signed,
A Mom who has been there
