Background information: I'm a junior in high school and I have a friend who is a freshman, so she is about 14 I'd say.
My friend's mom used to physically abuse her when she was younger. Slap her and what not. My friend claims she doesn't do this anymore..I'm a little skeptical. But, the mother still verbally abuses my friend...badly. I've seen what happens when they even fight on the phone...horrible.
My friend has been fighting me very had because I don't want her to be in that house under those circumstances because no child deserves to be abused in anyway, ever. I want to call social services or the police or something...but what do I say? Obviously, I've never been placed in this situation and I have no proof that the mother does it. I'm not sure that my friend would testify against her mother for what she has done.
So my question is, what can I do? There has to be something.. (link)

i had the same situation and what i did was call a hotline. they will anonomysly go to the persons house and explore the house. I did this and the police talked to teh parents and said they can't tell them who called but they know whats going on . THen the police gave my friend numbers if shes ever in the situation again. hot number--1-800-422-4453
o and all you have to say is "hi i have a freind thats mom used to abuse her and im skepitical its happening again. " then they will ask you a few questions and just answer honestly. :]
hope shes okay!!
