Question Posted Saturday April 30 2005, 1:09 pm

My friend has been acting really weird lately ever since her mom started going out with her new boyfriend. She jumps back when people move to fast towards her or swing their arms near her like she thinks they're going to hit her. She's also been waring clothes that are really baggy which isn't like her at all. I talked to her about it and she started crying. She told me that her mom's boyfriend has been beating her and even raped her. He told her that if she tells anyone or tries to runaway he'll kill her mom. She asked me not to tell anyone but I hate seeing her being treated like this. I want to go the police but the thing is he has a lot of money so if they do arrest he can just get out on bail and then go after her. She's really scared of telling people and I don't want her to get hurt anymore. What can I do to help her she really needs help but she's afraid to get it. Is there anyway that I can get her help without her mom's boyfriend finding out about it?

honestly you've got to talk your friend into going to the police, what's happening isn't right and she shouldn't have to go through it. she can get a restraining order against him, and she needs to tell her mom about what's going on. if her mother is allowing for this abuse to go on then she should be in jail to. no child deserves to be treated that way and something must be done

ok do not put yourself in a dangerous situation. tell you parents and have them go to the police so this low life doesnt go after you. you should get all the evidence (pictures, gyno exams). there are laws that dont let him get bail especially when it puts people in danger so please get a way to tell the police. dont let this happen anymore...if he raped her..imagine what he could be doing to her mom. let me know if you need anymore on this.. <3

I think she needs to go to the police herself. Next time if she refuses, at least get her to your house and take pictures of her bruises. Not much he can do about pictures. Tell your mom. You need an adult in on it. Don't mess around but the police need told. He is saying that to keep out of trouble, he doesn't have enough money because nobody likes child abusers.Even murderers in prision will get them and beat them up or kill them. Good luck, go tell mom about this. :)

Tell your parents. Tell her mom. Have one of them call the police. Have her family get a restraining order. If your her friend, you should do something. xO ali

You need to tell someone. She deosn't deserve that. No one does. Go to a school counselor they are required by law to do something about it. You can tell them what you know and then he can't hurt her for it. When the police come they can tell him that the school got suspicious. It is also a good idea to see if she can stay with you while all of this is going on. You should also talk to her mom. If he's threatening to kill her then she probably doesn't know what's going on and when she does she will help her and get him away from her. Tell your friend about what are you doing first though so that she is ready in case something goes wrong. And try to keep her away from him.

Good luck and I hope things get better for your friend

You need to tell someone NOW. If you don't want to have your identity revealed talk to your school counselor and tell him/her what's going on. They are required by law to report things like that to the police. Your friend and her mother should get a restraining order and have him prosecuted for battery and rape.
