My friend is scared of her dad

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Speak up & tell someone. She's probably too scared but shes gonna keep being scared if she doesn't make an effort to get out of that situation. No child/teen should have to be afraid of there parent they should be focussed on figuring out who they are & enjoying being young. I encourage you to please tell someone(an adult) & convince her to speak up & get out of that situation. Be strong & be careful.

Has her dad "touched" her in inappropriate places before?
Has her dad said something to scare her when she was a child?

She may have good reason to be.
This is not a easy scenario.
You haven't revealed any facts, so I'm going to hypotheticized a worst case scenario.
She needs to leave home, as quickly as possible...
This is no easy task...
If she were to request help, it would probably go a lot faster, however, it's likely to be a slow and agonizing process, especially if her fear is actual.
How old is she?
Can she live with relatives?
These are important questions because nowadays there are programs all over the country that assist with domestic situations and troubled youths and people.
The U.S. is practically an "addict/rehab" country now.
I'm going to list several sites you can help her check out...
1) This one is a .gov site which explains a little something about residential programs and what questions should be asked before enrolling (concerns, qualifications, duration, etc.)

2)This one here is a program in Connecticut.. it lists a phone number to consult and to with counselors and other research information is on the site.

(3)This one here is the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs. It seems to be an entire collection and alternative programs that could open up an multitude of options and resources to someone who calls...
Also, depending on which city or town she is in she could also go and visit her District Attorney Office and request a meeting. They tend to be a wealth of information, resources and options that may be availed to her. Just a thought.
Have you and your friend keep safe and continue looking for ways to help her deal and/or ways for her to leave, permanently if possible and... if that what she truly wants...
You took a step for her.
Good Luck

Why is she afraid of her dad?
If it's about abuse, then she should talk to a teacher, counselor or any other adult.
If she won't talk to someone, you should talk to someone and get her some help.

To help your friend we are going to need more information on this. I'm sorry.
