all you can do is show options and support

Quote From: jettav

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.
calling the cops wont help in this situation, only hurt. all you can do is show your friend her options and support her in whatever she chooses. Bad things happen to teach us lessons we cannot avoid it and if we do then we never learn. Let her know shes worth leaving , theres lots of options better than being treated like crap, and this guy wil never change. theres battered womens shelters out there. trust me the police doesnt care that this girl is scared to leave a bad man. maybe she should go on dr. phil, i would love to see the advise he gives a girl in this place. but its true she has to make the decision to leave its all about growing strength. being alone and broke is alot less scary than being with a mean person that doesnt like or respect you. good luck :)

I'm just as guilty? Her parents are WONDERFUL. We're only human, we make mistakes. If you knew who I was talking about, you'd change your mind, you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, I'm asking for advice and I'm thankful for responses, but how am I guilty? I've talked to her, SHE WON'T TALK TO ME. She doesn't go to school so how can I go to the school? The school is a zoo anyway. Some social service wouldn't do anything to help her, they'd just take them for all they got! I know her life is in danger, I'm not an idiot.. and I am a "true" friend. But how can I help when I barely ever see her? You tell me that. And her parents are my family too, so don't run your mouth about people you don't know.
