Answer 1

You could anonymously call the police and report him for domestic violence.  Let the police know she's pregnant and  you fear for her life.

Answer 2

Contact the authorities..

Answer 3

Here is a link to the National Domestic Violence Hotline  http://www.ndvh.org/

The phone number is 1-800-799-7233.

There are other resources on the internet also, but I recommend this first.

Your friend should get immediate help.  Domestic Violence often ends in death when the woman tries to get away.  

God bless and good luck to you both!

Answer 4

call the police and see about helping to get a restraning order. Seeing how you are at a shelter, ask them where a battered woman's shelter is, and about protection. Social services might be able to help as well. I wish you the best of luck, and stand by her, she needs the love of a friend right now. Good luck.

Answer 5

Obviously your friend has some issues if she chooses to stick around a guy like that, he is brining no value to her at all. Just leave him. She also might really want to think about why she has stuck in that "relationship" to the point of carrying his child.

Regarding the unborn baby, she should give some serious thought about adoption, by the sounds of things, your friend cannot take care of herself let alone 2 kids.

Sorry if this is a bit harsh but the bottom line is, you cannot help your friend until she decides she wants help. By her actions, it seems that she does not want any help.

If she has money, why stick with this moron? Even if it is a little money per month, she can do much better than she is doing now.

Answer 6

Tell the shelter people what is going on. They should be able to help, or at least put her in touch with the proper authorities.

Answer 7

talk to your friend about it..

does anyone else notice this happening???

call the police and ask them for advice

Answer 8

If you live in a shelter, like you said you do, there should be people there who you can talk to and help her figure out how to break away from him. Unfortunately, she has to be the one to make that decision. If she isn't careful child protective services could take both children away. She is putting not only herself, but both her children at risk. In most places there are battered woman shelters that will keep her protected from her abusive boyfriend. I believe they will even help her get a restraining order against him and press charges.

Answer 9

There's nothing you can do.  But she can file for a restraining order, but she needs to start filing police reports every time he does something, so it's documented.  And she should take pictures if he leaves any marks on her.
