If your friend is being sexually abused than you definitely have to tell the school the truth. This man should be behind bars and your friend obviouslydoesn't deserve this and is in a lot of pain for her to be telling people. The fact that she's told a few people means she Does want help. Her being removed from her home is nothing compared to what she must go through every day. If you tell them the truth you'll be helping your friend and she will be so grateful in the long run. You'll still be able to talk to her and see her and plus she'll be in a better, safer place. I really hope this helped and good luck! =) [ chrissabelle37's advice column | Ask chrissabelle37 A Question ]

Brandi_S answered Wednesday January 24 2007, 6:50 pm: It boils down to this, either you say something and she gets removed from an abusive home, or you say nothing and she will possibly still get abused.
Do the right thing. Tell them what you know. Tell them EVERYTHING. She is your friend, and that would be the best way to stick up for her. She is being abused, here. The right and moral thing to do is to do what you can to get her out of that situation. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]
BooYouWhore answered Wednesday January 24 2007, 6:35 pm: you really need to tell them when they ask. I know that you want to help your friend, but not telling would just be worse for her. She needs to get out of that house and away from her father so she doesn't get seriously hurt. Also check on her mom's condition if the two are still married. See how the dad treats her and how the mom treats her. It might just be him or both of them. YOu really need to help her and get her out of there before something goes seriously wrong.
Good luck!

duudee_advicer answered Wednesday January 24 2007, 6:34 pm: As horrible as you might feel, you
need to tell the truth. Keeping it a secret
will only hurt your friend.
(I'm sure thats NOT what you want to hear)
However, its the truth, you need to tell.
Now, if you DO get called down.
Only answer the questions they ask you.
If they ask you "Has her dad ever hit her
in front of you" Say yes or no, and explain
if they ask. Don't go off about how many times
she said he has hit her. This way you won't
feel to bad revealing, but you will get
whats needed out.
summerbeautyxoxo answered Wednesday January 24 2007, 6:33 pm: This may not be easy for you to do, but you need to tell them if you know that her father is abusive!! She is your friend, and she deserves to be protected.. even though you may think that telling them is bad now, it will help in the long run.. because you never know when your friend could get critically hurt by her dad, and its better to stop him now rather than later!!
Hope things work out...~ [ summerbeautyxoxo's advice column | Ask summerbeautyxoxo A Question ]
