my friend ran away from home because her dad hits her and no one would help her and now the cops are out looking for her but she's afraid of going back to her house because her dad hurts her a lot he's put her in the hospital a couple times. she asked me not tell anyone where she is but now she's been staying with a druggie so she's been doing drugs and i don't want to see her get caught up in that again. how can i help her?
just_ask_me answered Thursday April 21 2005, 3:46 pm: She definitely needs help right now and you definitely need to tell an adult right away about your friend. You have to explain to this adult or the police that her dad has repeatedly hit her and that she is getting involved in dangerous things because of it. If you know where she is staying, you have to tell someone you trust. If you're asking for advice about this friend, you must care alot about her & thats really good but you have to get her help as soon as possible. She might be mad and feel betrayed by you but she'll thank you in the end, because you'll save her life. hope it all works out hun xo [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
