How can I help my friend with abuse?

u should call a help hotline or get evidence that this has happened and let the police no or sumthin becuz child abuse is a serious issue and i dont understand y sum1 would want 2 do that 2 their own blood but thats just me and they might hav been raised like that which is not good also let her no that ur there and ull help her through it so she doesnt do anything that could endanger her

well, she should have something on her body somewhere, and go to the police, and show themthe evedence. have them take pictures. or tell her toget someone who hasa camera, and tape her mom hitting her.

tell her 2 calm down 1st of all. maybe you should get an adult involved cuz if u cant handle it by yourself someone has 2. it sounds like her moms abusive… so yea i wud go 2 a guidance councelor, or any adult even your parents as long as they can get her help.

The child is usually very scared in this situation. She probably wants the abuse to stop but she’s afraid that the normal part of their relationship will change if she goes for help. It’s a very tricky situation. She just has to understand that nothing is worth getting that type of abuse.

There are lots of organizations that can help. Look in a phone book and you’re sure to find something. Even if it is an anonymous hotline where she can talk to someone without feeling like she would be endangering herself or causing disruption to the family. That way she can talk to a professional whom is trained to handle these type of situations.
