Don't even question what you should do you need to tell someone especial if the know. This mom apparently is not going to protect your Friend and she is laying a guilt trip on the child with her siblings thing. Get your Friend help now.
Your Friend may not be happy with you for awhile but she will eventually see that you are a good person and was trying to protect her.
Good Luck let your conscience be your guide

Her mother is in denial. The current situation is a worst-case senario kind. No child sure have to sit back and watch someone abuse his/her mother. The abuser needs consequence and the mom needs to stop torturing herself for the sake of the kids. The kids need to get together and tell the mom that she needs to call the police. It is my opinion that she is making a bad decision for herself and the children by doing nothing.

Geez....Well, be flattered that she trusted you. But, what you need to do is to convince her that she has to tell an adult.
Her mom has it wrong - you don't go on letting yourself be abused by your spouse "for the sake of the children." Any of the kids who are aware are being torn up by knowing and not being able to do anything to help their mom. Additionally, the girls in the family are learning that it's OK for a guy to beat up a girl, and can easily turn into a girlfriend/wife who makes excuses for her "man" beating her. Like, she made him mad by...not having dinner ready.....his shirt ironed.......the house clean.
No man has any reason/right to hit a woman. He needs to get counseling, but it won't do any good unless he wants to change. She needs to get away from him, and take the children with her. None of them are safe in their current environment.
I know I haven't really told you what to do other than try to talk her into telling an adult who can help. And, stay the close loving friend you are to her. She is very lucky to have you, and I sincerely hope she takes your advice.

I think that she should try to cal the police. She has to get way from all this stuff for the safrty of her kids. If the dad is abusive its onl matters times untill he goes to the kids and hurts them. She has to get out and get out soon! She should just pack ther atuff and leave one n8ighgt when he is asleep. Its hard for people to go through things like thast...i klnow from expiereance and my mom packed us up and we left and stayed wiht my grandparents..but she has to call teh police. Tell ure friend that and gt her to go call the police herself if her mom refusses. Its for the best of the family.

Tell your mom and maybe she can talk to your friends mother.
