Question

Ok well I have a really close friend and her step-dad abuses her phsically and sexually. SHe told me this and I didn't believe her becase she tells me jokes all of the time. I spent the night over there one time and regret it. Nothing happened to me but he threw her up against the wall bangged her head on the counter top and put her in the ice cold tub. I felt so sorry and offered for her to live with me. When I pulled her out of the tub she wasn't bleeding , but I could see all of the scars that she told me about. There was one were she said that he had pucshed her into so kiddy sissors and bribed her not to say anything I told her that i was gonna call the police becasue her mom was knocked out on the bathroom floor. Ok well her step-dad went bakc upstairs and her younger brother came downstaris and cried. We locked the bedroom door and never said anyhting else about it. Our teachers ask questions and she says excses b/c he has threatened her so much. And I saw him sex. abuse too!

Answer 1

talk to ur friend about it first. tell her how u feel about the situation. try to pursuade her w/out forcing her to go to the police and offer to go w/ her. if she still refuses u should tell some1 at ur school like a guidence councelor. she may be mad at u at first but it is better to have her mad and safe than still being hurt by her step father. in the end she will be thankful 4 it even if she doesnt say it. i kno it sounds like the typical answer but is true.♥ i wish u good luck and will b praying 4 u and ur friend.

Answer 2

You need to immediately call the police. She's got the bruises to prove it and you need to nail him while you still can. Call the police, they'll come out and make a statement and arrest him. Then they'll set a court date. Try to be there with her when this happens, she'll need a friend to hold her hand through this. I know this from experience, except that I live in Colorado where we have no child protection laws. Tell her I'm sorry and she's not alone. If she'd like to talk some more, I'd be happy to speak with her. My e-mail address is [e-mail] Good luck and your a great friend for being there for her. :)

Call police, Tell your parents, Tell a teacher, the princpal, or any other adult you feel you can talk to. the point is you have to tell someone. Your friend may get mad at you at first but you may be saving her life or the lives of others in her family. Stay away from her dad and let social services take care of it these things always end up badly if left alone save your friend but protect your self by staying away from him

Answer 4

You have to go to an adult, a teacher or police. You must tell your parents! Tell anyone and everyone who will listen! You will save your friend from a terrible life filled with horror! Please go now, it is your job since you witnessed these things! Make sure you tell someone that you trust right away, you could be saving your friend's life! Tell them what you witnessed.....everything you can think of. The more time you wait, the worse your poor friend's circumstances will be! God bless you for caring about your friend!

Answer 5

You should just continue being there for your friend and i think that you or the friend should probley tell someone you can really trust like an close adult and i think that if it comes a time that the friend is tired of going through with it then i think they should go to the police and be sure to tell them that they 've been threatened, but i think you should let an adult know

Answer 6

That's sick, and that MAN, if u choose to call him one, NEEDS mental help, first of all, I would call the LAW, AND REMAIN ANOYMOUS-and report what he has done,and than they will question him, if u have to get involved at least you will be saving someones life possibly..and that right there says it all. Just do it, report the abuse now!!, don't worry, they'll take care of him, put him away, and take good care of her and her brother, so that he doesn't hurt them again....and I would definitely seek counseling for the children involved, and the Mother.

Answer 7

Answer 10

You might try telling the school counselor and then let them handle it, but sometimes it is dangerous bcs he finds out and then gets more angry. Maybe you could ask school counselor without giving any names and see what they say.
