There is this girl in my night school class she is a freshman (age 15) and was trying to move out of her house 'cause she was getting abused. Upon further examinations of her environment the DHS said that she couldn't live on her own.
Now when I was younger (I'm 19 now) I grew up in a true ghetto and I know that the DHS is too lenient on matters like this (they don't see the whole picture). I and some of my friends, we were sort of a gang, had, in the past, taken in kids like my friend. Now gang life is bad but its better than the life she lives.
I have already offered my friend help and told her my place always has a couch (that I could sleep on while she takes my bed, lol). She said she was ok, but I don't believe her (often kids won't admit just how bad it is out of fear). I was talking to her after class till her dad came, once she saw his car she said "GO! I get in trouble when I talk to others! " when she said that there was so much fear in her eyes. When I saw the fear in her eyes my first thought was if that son of a bi*** hits her when I'm around I'll lay him out! (I'm 6ft 3in and very strong).
My next thought, after I had time to cool down, was I could call up a few of my friends and take her to a safe place. After I sat back for a few hours I thought about the consequences of getting involved. If I get involved I could face some serious legal and financial consequences.
I can't afford to get caught up in a situation like this but I can't just sit back and watch (I can't ignore it if I do she'll have no one to talk to and get depressed). Even as I type this I want to go to her house and bash that guys skull in. Should I just make that call to my friends and tell her "run away with them they'll keep you safe" or just keep out of it and offer her help anyway I can.
BTW I'm not attracted to her or anything I just can't stand to see people getting abused. I honestly just want to help. Also I only ask this cause I can't think clearly in these situations and need outside views.
You should call an embassy. About this, or I would keep on encouraging her that you have something for her. Maybe she is afraid that her dad will hit her or something if she goes somewhere else
Abuse gets to me too. When someone who has a definite power over someone else and they use it to hurt them, that's just not going to happen if I can help it. Frankly, I think you should do something about it. I'm not saying that you should go out there and return the guy to the same slime that he was born as, but rather that you should phone the police. It's their job. Either that, or go to child protection services. Unfortunately I don't have the number for you as I'm a South African rather than an American like you, but I'm sure that that's an easy number to find. If you were to go and beat this guy to a pulp, it wouldn't help your friend. You'd end up in prison, and she'd be alone. The bastard would also end up in a hospital getting looked after rather than a jail cell with big guys looking after him (insert evil laughter here). Hope things turn out well for you and your friend. She needs to know that she's not alone, as abuse tends to make people feel that.
That's one thing that I can't stand. It takes a lot to make me mad, but a guy that gets physical with girls sets me off like a firecracker. You need to get help. Let the school know, let authorities know, let whoever you can know. The more people you let know the better. If you let the school know, then they have to step in and help.
I certainly can't. If I know someone is being abused, I will report it. And I think it is the best thing you can do right now. Confronting her dad will not do much, even if you are going to beat him down. Getting physical or threatening him will put yourself in jeopardy from the law. Since she's only 15, she's a minor. I think there's many services to help abused minors like her. She needs the care and protection of professionals. And her running away will not make things any better. You definitely need to report this one
So my best guy friend who I like found out that I'm a cutter. & since then it's been awkward, and he's been almost angry with me. I don't really...
