My 16year old daughter has a good friend whose boyfriend gets physical with her, I even suspect he hits her. I've tried talking to her,especially about it not being her fauly, that she is a strong woman who is not alone, empowering stuff.
The problem is her mother believes she gets what she deserves becuse she "settled" or this boy. I feel vert responsible for this young lady's safety and am not sure what I must do morally, ethically and legally. Can any one of you PLEASE help me? Or offer me any sound advice. I would hate for this young lady to grow up being battered and thinking it is OK. I would hate for this young man to grow up thinking it is OK to hit woman. I have seen some of the most amazing and strong woman crumble to a pile of rubble at the hands of an abbusive relationship...I would hate to be in the position to help and do nothing. But what do I do when this is a child with a mother that seems not to care? Please I am desperate for help.
