Call Child Protective Services for your state (for the phone number, go to a search engine and type your state name and then Child Protective Services) and tell them and tell them that you are worried for your friend's safety.
You have to protect her. She is living with a monster.
Be brave! Your friend needs you.

ask your friend to a sleepover at your house. When she comes, you and her tell your parents. Because she is at your house, you don't have to worry about her step dad getting to her before you all have a chance to call the police....which is what you should do immediately after you tell your parents. After you get her crazy stepdad out of the way, then you and your parents can talk to her about ALL of her options. And yeah, you are right, he will find out sooner or later. That is inevitable. One question though, where the heck is her mom while her step dad is banging her? She better be dead or something to have something like this happen under her own roof! God Bless. I will be praying for you and your friend.

If your friend is pregnant then her stepdad is going to find out anyway. She needs to be OUT of that home. What her stepdad did is a crime, and he needs to be in jail.
There is such a thing as loyalty to a friend, and you sound like you are a good friend, but you also must know that there are times to TELL AN ADULT, and honey, this is one of them. Pregnant girls need care by a doctor and they need people to take care of them. Please tell your mother and ask her to tell someone. If you can't tell your mother then tell a teacher or the school counselor, and this WILL be reported to the child protective services. Your friend really needs you to help her right now.

I understand that you may be quite young and confused about how to deal with this situation, but the best thing would be to tell an adult that you trust and that can help your friend make a rational decision that would not put her life in danger. Her stepfather is comitting a serious child abuse crime and that needs to be delt with or else he will continue hurting your friend so please tell someone that can help her as soon as possible.

If this is a serious question, you should tell your mom or an older family member that you trust or a school couselor. You won't get in any trouble and it will really help out your friend. What her step-dad did was really, really wrong and your friend should not have to suffer alone. Your family member you tell will know what to do.

You NEED to tell someone. Get her some help. Do not leave her in that situation. Tell your parents, tell a teacher anyone you trust. Just help her. I'm so sorry you are in this situation no 12 year old should have to be put in this situation. Again I am sorry. Good luck and take care.

Listen, this is very very important. I know you are scared but this is so so serious. Tell an adult right now. If that adult doesn't take it serious tell the teachers at school or anyone in authority. He could hurt her really really really bad if he finds out she is pg or even suspects it. Please do this now! I'm really proud of you, you and I wished everyone had a Friend like you!

first take her to a local hospital so she can stay there and get checked out and everything. Then let the people know there and they can help her take care of this horriable situation. Bless your Friend and Bless you for being there for her. I hope her Stepdad is locked up forever.

Call the police from a pay phone and don't give your name they will probably send someone out to investigate or someone will come out from the department of social services. They won't let the stepfather hurt your friend.

Listen what happend to your friend is wrong. It's not her fault. I think she should tell someone. What her step dad is doing to her is very wrong. I don't know him but i hate him. It makes me sick to hear a poor girl having to go through that. As her friend stick by her and help her but you and her need to tell someone seriously. Its not healthy. My heart goes out to her. and i pray that man gets what he deserves and she goes on to have a good life. Let her know its not her fault and what her step dad is doin and has done to her is wrong and if she can tell someone she can have him put in jail. best of luck and ill be praying for you and her
