I am saying that you need to keep trying to get her help until you find some one that will listen and help her, Too many times people say there is nothing they can do about an abused child but one can talk and keep looking for help for some one. Believe me, I know what it is like to see one abused and I certainly will not sit around and say there is nothing I can do. There has got to be somebody that can help get her out of that situation, she is 16 years old and gettting beat by a 25 year old idiot who is aloud to get by with it and he knows it and he WILL continue to do it. I have a cousin who was molested/raped by her biological father and she realized at the age of 12 that this wrong and she went to several people before any one listened to her and she is now 30 years old reaping the consequences, going to therapy trying to love herself and to get on with her life. And she hasn't even seen her no good father since she was 13 and he STILL has control of her. your friends life is in danger and any parent who allows this to go on in their home are lousy parents and they need help themselves. Maybe you can go to them and ask them to let her live some where else. If they truly and honestly care they will get help. I am tired of KIDS being abused and others standing by not doing everything they possibly can to help them, KEEP talking til some one listens or the girl is not going to be around to see her 21st birthday, believe me, I know, I have seen my bio mother abused. I was abused, I worked with a little girl who was beat by her mom's boyfriend and she was barely recognized in the hospital, KEEP trying til you get her help. Thre are people who care. They system sucks but there are people out there who would be kind enough to get her out of there, If nothing else, the guy is breaking the law for sleeping with a 16 year old girl and that is rape. I am sorry I have offended you but I hate abuse and this girl needs out of that home. and so what if she doesn't talk to you, you can still get some body in there to get her out of there. I didn't say it was easy but she deserves a chance to survive this idiot and no good of a manipulative punk who is getting away with CHILD abuse. Don't give up on getting help just because she isn't talking to you, this guy has complete control of this girl and with out help, she will never get out of there. I think I would still go to the school counselor even though she isn't in school, if they don't know the situation then they can't help, at least give it a try. I don't know if you go to church or not but a good pastor will know how to get help as well. I am basing my concerns and thought on the fact that you posted about a 16 year old getting abused by a25 year old and if I remember your first post correctly, the parents are aloowing this to happen in their home, You can think negative about me all you want, I really don't care, but I care about children getting abused and if everything that you said is accurate this child isn't going to live through this and if she does, her life will be destroyed, enotionally, physically and mentally, no chance of living a good productive life because no one was willing to go the extra mile. Have you ever read the book, "A Boy Called It"? The author just slipped my mind but it is about his life and he has more books as well. It's a good book, sad but good. Maybe you can even do a google search on getting one help, I don't know, but don't think you can't do something, you can even if it is just talking til some one listens.................................
