doing something is better than doing nothing. I would. Poor girl is possibly being raped on a regular basis.... Stand up you have the ammo ...now shoot. I am sure you can call in and remain anonymous. I can tell you for sure I would be doing something about it.

Those Neanderthals should be locked up and the key fused with a torch so they won't do any more harm to other people. It's a repetitive cycle that keeps going on and on. I've grown tired of seeing on the news or paper that some POS that to feel like a man goes and hits someone defenseless. If they feel the urge to fight, go do it with someone of their own size.

Police do not name 3rd parties who report abuse, either physical or sexual.
What's going to weigh on your conscience more; the fact that you reported it and it was false OR the fact that you DID NOT report it and she suffers life altering injuries as a result?

Oh, and by the way, are the teachers on that school blind or something? The social worker is there for those kind of situations. They know what to do. At least here it's done like that.

She isn't with her dad this weekend, and I'm going over to talk to her today. I'll be calling once I get home. I just feel like, I know it is the right thing to do, and in my head and my heart I feel like it is my place to do something, but then I feel like if I'm not even that close to her, and she told me, then her friends must know, and I can't help but think why haven't they done anything? maybe I don't have the full story or something. I can't stand the thought of someone abusing her, but the idea of falsely accusing someone of something so severe is unimaginable to me as well.
As for the "why haven't the social workers seen it?" I have never seen any visible marks of abuse, but then again I was never really looking for them.

Summary:
Father and brother are abusive. She lives with them every weekend. Mother knows, and hasn't really done anything to prevent said abuse. She doesn't want to get her brother/father in trouble, and thinks it is a "family problem."
Advice? I feel like there should be something that I can do, but I don't know if I would be over reacting to call the police, or the school. I don't think it would be right of me to sit back and wait for it to happen again before I do something, though. What would you do? Just take a step back and let her deal with it?

You are definetely doing a great thing by being there for her, that's for sure. I would suggest maybe contacting the school psychologist like you had mentioned or possibly contacting a womens shelter. The one's around here have actual attorneys who represent people like your friend pro bono (free). Another idea would be to contact the local department of public welfare since she is still a minor.
In the end though, as painful as it may be for her, she needs to follow through with whatever help is given to her and get herself out of that situation. She does not want to be another statistic.
Good luck.

She hasn't been around her brother or father since I first posted this thread. Her mom is fighting for full custody, and a restraining order. I will tell you what happens as soon as I know.
