Well, if this friend says that these hits don't hurt, she is trying to protect her mom. That would either be because she truly loves her mom and doesn't want her to get her in trouble, or she doesn't want her mom to find out and get more angry and hit more (which is more likely). I think you should really talk to your friend about it and let her know that you're there for her. We all know that it's best to tell an adult about these things, but sometimes that's not true.. it can lead to even worse problems. So like I said, let your friend know you want to help, and make sure she knows that what her mom is doing is NOT right, no matter what her mom says or how she acts when she isn't angry.

Let me know what happened after you talk to her and maybe I can help out a little more from there.
