My best friend is having trouble with her family.
She lives with her mother and three half siblings ages 11, 9, and 6. She is 14.
She is constantly being beaten up by her 11 year old brother. Not in the normal ways. He usually smacks her with books, punches her in the breasts, verbally abuses her, and now hits her on the head with Swiffer mops. Sometimes, when he is really angry, he will brandish a knife, but he puts it away when my friend threatens to call the police.
He gets angry over the smallest things- for example, my friend was on the computer and he demanded that it was his turn. When she said no, he smacked her with a book until she cried. Whenever my friend talks to her mom about this horrible problem, her mom tells her to fight her own battles.
Any advice for her? She sitting next to me and really wants advice. She hates being home with these people. Her other siblings are amazing, but her 11 year old brother makes her home life hell.
