im told not to tell a soul because its getting somewhat taken care of. so il ask un-named. my bff is very badly depressed bc her moms boyfriend abused her so she told her mom after a while and he killed her mom and he went to jail which was a little over a year ago. now she lives with her grandparents. her grandpa is very bad bipolar and abuses her as well but only her none of her younger siblings. today she finally told me about what her grandpa does and showed me her new bruise which is very bad, it is like right on under her breast an its bloody red and very swollen and stuff she wont even put anything on it because its swollen and itd make it bigger. still which happend two days ago it even ripped her shirt. this weekend he is going to treatment for bipolar so she is running away and staying with a certain friend because he will be very bad. he is also their only source of income since the grandma cant work so if he goes they go homeless. hes going into treatment so it will maybe get better and if she gets taken away hed probly go for her little siblings so she wants to stay and take it for them. she also has anger management problems and depression so shes very agressive to people but i dont blame her. what can i do? any advice on any of this and as much advice as possible?! its getting better so i am not telling. im almost 16 and she is 14 (link)

Don't kid yourself and say it's "getting better" when you know it isn't. Sure, her grandpa is going to get help but it doesn't mean this will all end any time soon. No child should have to be abused at all. Does her grandma know what her grandpa is doing to her?
I think your friend should try to get herself out of this situation even if it will be hard in the future. This abuse could escalate and could possibly lead to even worse injuries, rape, or death! It's best for her and her siblings to leave.
She should talk to a school guidance counselor about this and get help instead of instead of dealing with this and taking the abuse which will probably take it's toll on her in the future.
