Saving Shelly is a petition to help obtain immediate intervention for a girl who is being physically and emotionally abused by her family and has absolutely no recourse, due to the fact that she is sixteen years old.  She is being forced to live in a household under 24 hour surveillance, as her parents rape her of rights as a human being.  It is very important to join this petition to help save Shelly from this abusive household.  She needs all the help she can get.  Please help Shelly in her struggle to be herself and free herself from the chains of abusive, homophobic parents, who do not accept their child.
