Can I Ask For A Police Help Without Putting Risking My Mom Being Jailed?

Card image cap

I think I’ll start by saying that I love my mom a lot. She has become an abusive parent ever since my dad passed. There are several occasions where she would hit me and apologize like it didn’t happen. But several days ago, she literally threw a hot coffee on me which left me with burns on my thighs. The problem is I look so much like my dad and I think everytime she sees me I remind me of my dad.

My bestfriend dad brought me at a clinic yesterday and it was a 2nd degree burn and they prescribed some medications.

I’m currently safe at a motel but I have to leave the place tomorrow and stay on the streets until Tuesday. Thats the day that my aunt would fly and pick me up to leave with her. Was thinking of going to the police to seek shelter for a day or two and for some food but I’m scared that they might arrest my mom if I do?

I dont know what to do? I’m scared that if I stay on the streets my stuff would be stolen but if I go to the cops, it might ruin my mom’s life.
