Being a Good Friend
Quote From: ceceliaThere's really nothing I can do. Call the police and have my friend hate me forever? Even if I did, it would just cause more trouble with "authorities". It would become a whole new scenario..
When I had a problem, my friend wanted to help me but she knew she couldn't. She didn't make a huge effort to help; but I think we both know when somebody is making a big mistake you can't really tell them what to do or how to act. You have to let them make their own mistakes, hard as it is. Sometimes it means death or some serious injury, that's what scares me. CHILD ABUSE is wrong and a shameful and if you allow this to keep going you are just as guilty as the abusers themselves. her parents are abusing her mentally as well as this loser of a guy. He needs to go to jail and this girl needs a safe haven, which would you whether have, her hating you or her losing her life over something that may have been prevented? There IS something you can do, call the police or children services, document everything that you know and see and reach out to some one til some one listens and takes action, I am assuming that you are about her age and may think that there is nothing you can do, but you can be her voice, talk to your parents, or go to the school, somebody needs to step up to the plate here and get this girl some help, A true friend will help, especially in a situation like this. Also, if they are having sex, he is doing this with a minor, what is the law in your state on this situation? Her parents need children services called on them, they are unfit parents, this child is going to die if some one doesn't step up and intervene, So what if she hates you forever, I am sure she is scared and crying out for help, imagine yourself in her situation. You could be the one to save her life. A true friend would go out of their way to help a friend in a desperate situation like this, Please do something for her, talk to somebody and don't stop til some one listens, she is being abused and could be harmed for a lifetime,maybe even lose her life, happens all the time in this society.
