Hey facepunch, I know this isn't the place to go for your life trouble, but I really need all the help I can get now.(Might be a long read for some of you) So, I've know this girl for 10 years now, her real parents went crazy in the head, so she was adopted by her aunt and steph uncle, and their 3 children. Those two later broke up, and she got a new "dad", who turned out to be a really great jerk to her, now I'm not about little pranks that your family does all the time, I'm talking about big stuff here, but I'll get to that later. So, they didn't get her alot of freedome in the house, and her steph sisters were being a real bunch of jerks to her, so she ran away and went over to a friends house and now lives there. I heard that she ran away three days ago, so I tried to talk to her on facebook about why she ran away, so told me her whole story, I'll put some highlights here: She got hit multiple times, blackmailed by her sister, she was dragged over street until she had a blackout, she didnt finish her dish once, so she had to sleep with the open window without a pillow or bedsheets, she was claustofobic, so they locked her in a room, so she had to do her buisness in there aswell.(by which I mean going to the toilet) the money stolen was about 300 euro's, mind you she was adopted when she was about 4 years old, she is 18 now, which means this may have been going on for 14 years or longer. I really don't know what to do, my familie and her (ex) familie are close, but they never told us this. Id appriciate any help you can give me FP.
Call the police. It's child abuse as far as I can see.

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35149190]She asked me not to[/QUOTE] Do it anyways. Say it wasn't you. I don't really see any other options here. [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] unless you want to investigate yourself.

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35149236]Do the police do anything about it even if it happend a long time ago?[/QUOTE] if you go down the the police station and explain whats going on they should be able to put the parents and others in questioning. That, or like i said, investigate. [editline]15th March 2012[/editline] Make sure you also have proof to backup your claim.
You could try to find her, And if she want to, You could take her to your house. Or try to get a few friends of hers to help, Just talking to her and letting her know that none shares her step dads thoughts, Remind her that there are people that care about her should help.

Whoa whoa whoa. She was dragged over the street until she blacked out, and the neighbors didn't do shit? What the unactual fuck is wrong with them?

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35151106]neighbors are retarded[/QUOTE] call the cops, tell them she ran away, because her "family" is beating and hurting her. Don't tell them you know where she is right now.
Sounds like you're in the friend zone buddy.
She's 18, and she asked you not to call the cops. If that tells me anything, it's that she doesn't want or need your help. Like what everyone else is saying, call the cops if you really want to help. But at 18, she can put the past behind her. Staying with her friend is a good start. Maybe try to help her find a job, offer help with school if she is still attending. As a friend, the best thing you can do is to make her situation less stressful.
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35149190]She asked me not to[/QUOTE] Oh, come on. Go tell the police, it's for the greater good. She also might need some help from a psychologist after such experiences.
Just try not to play a detective,alright? Despite she explicitly asked you not to do it,you must contact the police. This is beyond your capabilities.
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35149190]She asked me not to[/QUOTE] Convince her that it will be better that way, and then call the police
Rescue her, Link
Confront her caretakers like a man
