problem involving child abuse
my best friend and i were spray painting our bikes. Her father comes out in a rage. He starts hitting her and she was screaming for him to stop. She used a bit of foul language towards him, but he was really hitting her. the mom had to try and calm him down.SHould I get help, tell someone or just leave it alone? I don't want it to seem like i'm in their family's business, then again that is my best friend she was crying histerically but i couldn't see her because he told me to leave.

This is something serious. You should infact tell someone soon. If you don't then this problem won't be stopped. This is a serious matter. If at anytime you believe someone is getting abuse you should tell an adult or and authority figure immediatly.

i really think you shouldnt' leave the situation alone. I think you should get help thats not ok to leave the situation alone.. I know most people would do anything for your best friend and im sure that hurt you when you saw what happend.. so yes get help. hope i helped*

you should defenitly tell. i have a friend whos mom used to hit her and i threatened to tell and i did end up telling. she was mad at me for a little bit but it eventually was fine and now we're tight. if u don't tell anybody she could get seriously hurt or killed and u don't want that.
im just saying even if u do tell dont just say it once and hide. my friends sisters babys daddy(a little confusing but thats not the point) beats her up and hits the baby 2. the grandma wants to take the baby away but shes been trying to do that for like 6 months now and the court is ignoring her. u have to b persistent because u dont want ur friend to get hurt more.
hope i helped!

It seems to me like there is a big problem going on that home. Does her father have any addictions or anger problems? What is happening to your friend is not fair. If you really think she is at risk, to no seem like you are egtting into her famiy's business maybe you should just sit down with her and see how she really feels about her Dad, like does she feel safe? If she doesn't then ask her if she wants to do something about this; maybe not too drastic, if she really doesn't want to get him in trouble, maybe you can tell her to sit and have a logical conversation with her Mom about getting her Dad some help to help channel his anger in a more positive way. Sometimes people don't mean to hurt people, and it really hurts them to, but they can't control it. But it is really important that he does get help especially if she has other brothers or sisters.

Tell your friend to tell someone first or you could tell her to talk to her mom so they both could do it together... if she won't listen to you then you have to do it b/c it's wrong what he is doing to her and you know it, if she gets mad at you that's fine, she'll get over it.. but just think what happens if you don't do something, it most likely will get worse and not better.. i know it's hard, but somethings gotta be done b4 it gets out of hand!

Short answer: YES. You must tell someone about this. A school councillor or teacher you trust would be ideal. Make sure they take it seriously and something is done. You have a responsibility towards your friend, your not interfering with no good reason. Explain to your friend why you did what you did and more importantly that your their to support her.

Well, first I think you need to talk to your friend about it and see how often it happens, how long it's been going on, etc. Then talk to an adult you trust, whether it's your mom or a family friend or something, and tell them what's been going on. It might seem like you're in their business or something, but it doesn't sound like your friend is in a very safe situation, and something probably needs to be done about it. Good luck + I hope she's alright! :o)

You need to tell someone. First, try to talk to your friend about it and find out how often it happens. Then talk to a family member about what to do next.

child abuse is something to definatley not mess around with! you should find out from her if that has happened before and if he really beats her.. if it has then you most definatley need to alert someone! tell your parents or the police .. its up to you to help your friend because i m sure you dont want anything to happen to her! its a good thing your a good enuff friend to care! u will be in my prayers and so will ur friend! if you have ne more questions tell me!!
