What you've described is child abuse. Right now, the only thing you can do for her is be her friend. Other than that, she needs to seek professional help. Unfortunately, I haven't done the research so I don't know exactly how she would go about doing this, but you can start by looking up message boards for abuse survivors and asking them about the situation. I wish I could be more help than that. However, I think that the best way she can start to seek help is to call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433). It's a toll-free number, operates 24/7, and it's completely confidential. Their website is: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

It's really hard for you to do anything about it I think all you really can do is be there for her 24/7 regardless of how hard it gets becuase its obvious that you're all she has and needs

Maybe if it starts to get really bad you need to talk to your parents about it because your friend could be in VERY much danger and it could be the best thing for her

also you could try and convinse her to talk to her parents about things maybe ask to go to counseling because it seems liek she could really use it

hang in there!
hope i helped

Tell her to run away, and come to your house.

Obviously your parents are better than hers, because you're not contemplating suicide.
