what can u do if your friend is getin beat by her father and the dhr don't believe her and the school thinks..

Question

she is liein?

there r bruzs and they have seen umm

Answer 1

You need to have your parents call the social services department and report it to the children services....they will investigate it and if they find that there is a problem in the friend's home...they will take care of it...

But keep in mind that also, if the children services do not find any proof, your friend could get into a lot of trouble. She may have bruises, but Dr's and also some school officials know how to look at bruises in a way such that will tell whether if the bruises were self inflicted or are actually from someone else abusing her.

If the school thinks she is lying, then the school is also liable for not committing to assist the friend of yours. They have to take responsibility of reporting to Children's Services...it's the federal law...all schools are suppose to report any possible conflicts such as this.

The father is definitely going to get the book thrown at him if the children services find that there is proof against him...No MAN, big or small, has the right to strike at all...not even another man or a child for that matter. Not to mention, also your friend's Mom could get into trouble as well for allowing it to happen. Especially when she should be the one calling if the father is abusive....then again she might not be able to make the cal because of fear of retaliation.

This is a pretty serious accusation...but if you honestly think your friend is telling the truth...and / or you've seen something happen before, then get your mother or father to make that call...ASAP!!!!

Answer 2

Do you have another adult you trust...a teacher or member of the clergy or even just a neighbor or friend who will stand by you? Tell them the story and ask for their help. Go to the police. Very important...call Child Protective Services (look up your local chapter on the Internet or in the phone book.) Take pix of the bruises and ask your friend to tell you exactly what happened so you can record her statements when you two are alone and she feels comfortable and unthreatened. This may be helpful in case she freezes up when being interviewed by authorities...they can read her statements and ask her to verify them. I have to add this regarding those statements...I am not well-versed in their protocol and I am only assuming that they would agree to that, but I imagine they would want to find the truth any way they could. You are a good friend...best of luck to you both!

Answer 3

Take her complaint to the police department. Bruises don't lie. If you have witnessed any beatings, you would be helpful to go with your friend to the police department. If the doctor and school people don't believe her, I have to wonder why. You friend could be lieing just to get your attention. I've had that happen to me but my friend lied about being raped. I got sucked into this huge investigation with the police department and investigators. Turns out, she made it all up. This went on for 3 whole days!

If you have proof this is happening to your friend, you've seen it, or whatever, go with her to the police. If you don't have any proof other than what she says, maybe go home with her and see her dad. See if he's kind or mean to her. You never know what you're going to get.

Best wishes.

Answer 4

i had a friend when i was in high school her father was a caop and use to beat her and no one ever believed her and the cops would do nothing because of her father. Finally i had my mom pick her up after school one day and we brought her back to my house we then called children and youth services and they came out to talk to her the next day in school she remained living with me in my home for 3 days they investigated and then they placed her in a home with another relative of hers and she was to have no contact with her father and she got a restraining order on him. I dont believe anyone deserves to be beat on especially if that person is family and is suppose to be a loved one my advice is to pretty much do wha you can to help your friend out at any cost if you dont help or at least investigate on your own it may get worse and she could possibly end up in hospital if it gets so severe or something worse could happen!!!!

Answer 5

If the doctor and school don't believe her, that's a tough one.

I suggest calling the local police department and asking what kind of evidence is needed. There are two possible benefits. One, you might get a useful answer. Two, you've alerted them to the problem.

Answer 6

sounds a bit sus to me! but id call social services anonumusly and dob the dad in that way they will investigate and leave you out id be really checking it out first though cause ur friend could get into a lot of trouble if its a lie!

Answer 7

There must be a reason why they would all think she'd lie about something like that. If you really believe that she is being beaten, call child protective services. They will investigate it and will keep your name anonymous.

Answer 8

You go to the police and show them the bruises - but she may end up in a foster care and sometimes that can be worse.

Be careful, take care, and God bless you both.

Answer 9

Talk with the parents about this situation and you will find out if she is lying or telling the truth if the parents have nothing to hide. Futhermore if she is lying she will refuse you talking to her parents anyway.

Answer 10

Get some pictures of the bruises, then go straight to the police and show them.
