My friend asked me to post this question up here to see if we could get good answers so please help!
Well I have a friend "Grace" who gets hit by her dad when he is mad at her.
He uses force such as grabbing her by the jaw hardly and squeezing it or hitting her across the face, and other things like that.
Well her mom hits her as well.
"Grace" doesnt know what to do. She is tempted to call the police because she is being abused, but she knows that they might send her to a different home and she doesnt want to leave all of her friends or her school.
She has tried to talk to her parents before about this but nothing happens.
What should she do?
And what should I do as her friend for her?
Thanks, From both her, and me.

I believe she needs to report it to a school counselor and let them guide her through the legal process.Sometimes social services will investigate and put the family in counseling for parenting techniques and anger management. Depending on the cooperation of the parents,it may not be necessary for your friend to leave her home.Sometimes parents have been abused and have become abusive. They need intervention.It is very scary to cross violent parents but you all need the help. Once the abuse is reported,the abusers are more closely monitored and know they risk legal intervention which makes them more compliant. I have a favorite scripture that I claim on a daily basis. Psalms 91:11 "For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways". We don't pray to angels but when we claim this scripture,it mobilizes our angels. Pray and seek God's help in this. God bless you dear and Merry Christ'mass

Ok she needs to call a hotline because her parents will never stop..Before the hotline can help maybe have her over while they talk to her parents cuz this is really serious..She might not wanna leave her friends but whats better Staying alive and being with a good family,or having the chance of dying but still with your friends

My name is Grace. :P
ANYWAY... she HAS to call the police, otherwise she could seriously get hurt. Or maybe have her stay at your house for awhile. She could still live with her grandparents or something if she does have to move away from them. The thing is, she has to call the police no matter what. She doesn't deserve to get hit, and she will be very happy when the madness stops.

She needs to confide in an adult whom she trusts: a teacher, school counselor or administrator, or perhaps an aunt or maybe even your mother!
Of course she's afraid she might have to go to a foster home and/or another school, but think what danger and suffering she's in now!
If her dad's doing this to her, is he also doing it to her mother???
As her friend, you must support her emotionally but tell her that it's never going to get better and/or change until she summons up the courage to tell another adult!! She needs to understand that she'll get help but must ask for it.

allright check it out first she should find a place to stay like with a friend or somthing like that then call the cops and report the abuse and she will have to talk to people and just tell then that you want to stay with that friend but do it fast the longer your there the harder it is to make the call. Do it. do it now !

she should talk to a trusted teacher of guidance counselor at school....talk to your mom and see if she can stay with you while things get sorted out...or is there another relative that she can stay with? This is a tough situation but she needs to tell someone so that it can be stopped and she can be helped...It should not continue..no one should be treated that way...good luck
