she would not get into any trouble , it would be a great way to prove the abuse more so if she could get it on video

If your friend want and needs help , let her talk to a councillor in school or another relative . It is not illegal to tape her getting a beating , if that is what it is. If she has proof with a tape as evidence , any officer of the law must report and stop it. Make sure there are two copies and she only hands over one. Send the other to someone she trusts just in case the first one disapears. Make sure she gets a reciept for the vidiotape from the cop. Never just hand over anything without getting a reciept,

how old is she
Why won't the police help? Did she talk to a school counselor?
If she has bruises, etc... take her to the ER.. they will then report it
If the only way to get police to help is to record it... then I say do it

Hide a video and take the tape to children's services.

School teachers, doctors, social workers-"helping professions"- have to report it to the proper authorities in most states.

If her mother is abusing her then I doubt she will get in trouble.

there is nothing illegal about recording your yourself. in Georgia you can even record your own phone conversations.
i wish her the best.

I don't see how she could get in any trouble.
