Well, she could have said that she was making it all up because she feared what would happen at home if her dad found out.
You can't trust what people SEEM like. Even those who know her parents well only see their family from the outside. You never know what goes on behind closed doors.
Have you talked to your parents about this? You should. They can help you figure out how to help this girl. If her dad is truly getting drunk and beating her, she DOES need help.

I say it's better to be safe than sorry. I would alert a school counselor immediately about what she told you and let them take it from there. They will make sure your friend is not in any danger. If she was making it all up, the confrontation from the school counselor will teach her not to joke about such horrible things. If she wasn't making it up, she and her family will be able to get the help she needs.
Don't take a chance on this one. You could save a life.
