Introduction In 2018 over 23,500 runaways were reported to National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Adolescents who have run away from home, are homeless, or are unstably housed experience substantially higher rates of dating violence and victimization than their stably housed peers (Lee & Schreck, 2005). Recognizing and understanding the intersection of runaway and homeless youth and intimate partner violence (including dating, domestic and sexual violence) is critical to creating meaningful services and effective intervention and prevention strategies for both homelessness and relationship abuse, and in creating partnerships between the programs working with youth at risk. Runaway and homeless youth often have little or no support systems and those being abused in a relationship may find it more difficult to leave their abusive partner if they have no one to help them access the options available to them. Why is it important for service providers from each field to understand the intersection of runaway and homeless youth and relationship violence? • Abuse and neglect at home is often the reason that youth end up on the streets. • Relationship violence is perpetrated and experienced by youth both on the street and in stable housing. • Together a we can create a broader set of resources to help all youth develop the skills to form and sustain healthy and safe relationships and a stronger safety net for youth at risk. WHO IS THIS TOOLKIT FOR? This Toolkit was developed by and for advocates in the runaway and homeless youth (RHY) and domestic violence and sexual assault (DV/SA) fields to help programs better address relationship violence with runaway and homeless youth. 1 RHY & Relationship Violence Current statistics show an average of twenty to thirty-five percent of youth involved in dating relationships report experiencing current or past incidences of dating violence (Bossarte, Simon, & Swahn, 2008; Wolf & Foshee, 2003). Adolescents who have run away from home, are homeless, or are unstably housed experience substantially higher rates of dating violence and victimization than their stably housed peers (Lee & Schreck, 2005; Whitbeck & Hoyt, 1999; Chen, Thrane, Whitbeck, Johnson, & Hoyt, 2007). Several factors contribute to the high rates of relationship abuse and victimization within the runaway and homeless youth population, including limited access to resources and increased exposure to street culture (Tyler, Hoyt, Whitbeck, & Cauce, 2001; Whitbeck & Hoyt, 1999). In addition, homeless youth may engage in subsistence strategies that place them at greater risk for relationship violence, such as survival sex, that increase their visibility and proximity to potential perpetrators. Many runaway and homeless youth have “multiple histories of trauma” • These histories include: family violence; parental neglect; parental mental illness; childhood sexual and physical abuse; sexual exploitation, rape, sexual assault; survival sex; gang violence; intimate partner violence. Studies also document resiliencies and strengths among RHY that serve as important protective factors in light of high levels of violence exposure. • In one study 70% had experienced some form of violence (32% had been sexually assaulted, 15% after being on the streets) (Miller, 2009). • Another study found that 60% of homeless female youth and 25% of males had reported being sexually assaulted prior to leaving home (Miller, 2009). 2 Intersection of RHY and Relationship Violence Sexual orientation and gender identity/expression and the risk of victimization • LGBTQ youth are more likely to leave home as a result of physical abuse and conflict with family. • Substance abuse, depressive symptoms, suicidality are more frequent among gay and lesbian-identified youth than non-LGBTQ youth. How youth define “intimate partners” and “dating relationships” varies significantly • RHY who are more often on the street (in comparison to youth using shelter services) are at greater risk of exploitive relationships, including a 3x greater chance of engaging in survival sex (Miller, 2009). • Studies show high levels of physical violence in their relationship (in one study 70% of both male and female shelter-based youth), with youth reporting both victimization and perpetration and violence in more than one relationship (Miller, 2009). 3 Intersecting Issues Young people, especially those surrounded by high risk factors, are vulnerable to additional types of victimizations. This section explores the scope of the problem and dynamics of digital abuse and human trafficking. Digital Abuse Digital abuse is the use of technology, such as a cell phone or social media, to threaten, intimidate, or harass a current or ex-dating partner. A victim of digital abuse may receive excessive texts or messages from their dating partner, be pressured to share account passwords, experience stalking via social media, or be told who they can or can’t communicate with on social media. In some cases, victims are pressured to engage in sexting activity, and abusers often use these sexually explicit pictures to blackmail their victims. Scope of the Issue A study released in 2017 by Data & Society and the Center for Innovative Public Health Research (CiPHR) reported that: • 12% of internet users who have harassed by a current or former been in a romantic relationship romantic partner. reported that they have been digitally harassed or abused by a • 38% of individuals who identified current or former romantic partner. as LGBTQ have experienced intimate partner digital abuse, • Younger people were 3x more likely compared with 10% of heterosexual (22%) than those who were 30 years individuals. or older (8%) of being digitally 4 Intersecting Issues: Digital Abuse There are many signs that can help you identify if someone is a victim of digital abuse. A young person might be a victim of digital abuse if their partner: • checks their cell phone, email or social networks without permission, • controls who they can be friends with on social media, • sends negative, insulting or even threatening emails, DMs or other messages online, • uses sites like Facebook, Twitter, foursquare and others to monitor the victim’s whereabouts, • sends unwanted, explicit pictures and demands some in return, • pressures them to send explicit videos or pictures, • steals or insists to be given all passwords, • constantly texts and makes the victim feel like they can’t be separated from their phone for fear that they will be punished, and • looks through a partner’s phone frequently, checking up on pictures, texts and outgoing calls. 5 Intersecting Issues: Minor Sex Trafficking Minor Sex Trafficking Long before the passage of any anti-trafficking legislation, runaway and homeless youth providers have been working with young people engaged in and impacted by the sex trade. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience that the anti-violence movement can benefit from. In January 2013, the Office for Victims of Crime hosted a webinar entitled, “Providing services to runaway youth and victims of human trafficking.” Danny Stewart (Director of Operations for Safe Horizon’s Streetwork Project) and Fiona Mason (Supervising Social Worker for Safe Horizon’s Anti-Trafficking Program) offered key advice for working with young people who are homeless and involved in the sex trade. Mason asserted: “[…] there are no magical solutions to these problems. Creating a functioning social safety net and working to end all homelessness (urban and rural) should be a goal.” (Mason & Stewart, 2013) This section of the Toolkit will begin an exploration of this issue, including a brief overview of the legal definitions, the scope and population, dynamics of minor sex trafficking and challenges to service delivery.

  • Runaway and Homeless Youth: Demographics and Programs
    Runaway and Homeless Youth: Demographics and Programs -name redacted- Specialist in Social Policy January 20, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL33785 Runaway and Homeless Youth: Demographics and Programs Summary There is no single definition of the terms “runaway youth” or “homeless youth.” However, both groups of youth share the risk of not having adequate shelter and other provisions, and may engage in harmful behaviors while away from a permanent home. These two groups also include “thrownaway” youth who are asked to leave their homes, and may include other vulnerable youth populations, such as current and former foster youth and youth with mental health or other issues. Youth most often cite family conflict as the major reason for their homelessness or episodes of running away. A youth’s relationship with a step-parent, sexual activity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, school problems, and alcohol and drug use are strong predictors of family discord. The precise number of homeless and runaway youth is unknown due to their residential mobility and overlap among the populations. Determining the number of these youth is further complicated by the lack of a standardized methodology for counting the population and inconsistent definitions of what it means to be homeless or a runaway. Estimates of the homeless youth exceed 1 million. Estimates of runaway youth—including “thrownaway” youth (youth asked or forced to leave their homes)—are between 1 million and 1.7 million in a given year. From the early 20th century through the 1960s, the needs of runaway and homeless youth were handled locally through the child welfare agency, juvenile justice courts, or both.

Joe was removed from his home when he was about five years old because his mother had a significant substance abuse problem and he had been physically abused by several of her boyfriends. Joe has lived in various foster care settings and group homes, but he got into fights with his peers and transferred frequently due to anger management problems.

Looking closely, there was no sparkle in her eyes and her demeanor was sad with little affect; she just looked tired and worn out, her hair stringy as it fell to her shoulders from underneath a dirty and worn wool cap. But Cindy was not in her mid-to-late 20s or early 30s; she was 16 years old. She had been thrown out of her home by her mother two years earlier. It was a cold January night when she was first told to leave.

[To replace RHYMIS 2.2 OMB Control No: 0970-0123 ] U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). RHYMIS 3.0 Data Collection Instrument This data collection instrument is for recording and reporting information about service providers and the needs, critical issues and support received by the runaway and homeless youth who they are tasked to serve. These outreach, emergency and transitional shelter programs are authorized by the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (P.L. 108-96) which was reauthorized in 2008. The Statute also governs the basic requirements for this collection effort as follows: “(7) shall keep adequate statistical records profiling the youth and family members whom it serves (including youth who are not referred to out-of-home shelter services), except that records maintained on individual runaway and homeless youth shall not be disclosed without the consent of the individual youth and parent or legal guardian to anyone other than another agency compiling statistical records or a government agency involved in the disposition of criminal charges against an individual runaway and homeless youth, and reports or other documents based on such statistical records shall not disclose the identity of individual runaway and homeless youth;” Version 3.0 of this collection instrument represents a new frontier as HHS stands in support of the Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to End Homelessness.

DESCRIPTORS *Adolescents; *Family Problems; *High Risk Persons; Intervention; Missing Children; Prevention; 1.Runaways; *Youth Problems ABSTRACT This document describes a study of runaways (N=149) at a Toronto, Canada shelter which examined why urban adolescents run away from home; the role of sexual abuse in the life histories of runaways; and why runaways return home. The report begins with a discussion about adolescents at risk, with a definition of terms, numbers of runaways, and a new look at runaway youth. The second chapter describes major study findings about the adolescents examined, including life at home, abuse history, and an overall profile. A case study is included. The third chapter discusses patterns, reasons, consequences, and cycles of running. Three aspects of providing help if the cycle of running is to be broken and the youth directed toward achievement are discussed: (1) intervention considerations;(2) levels of intervention for short-term programs; and (3) the use of drawings as an interview and assessment technique. Creating a positive future for the runaway is the topic of the fifth chapter, which focuses on understanding the problem, public recognition of the problem, reorganizing agency relationships, and research and program evaluation.
