Girl at my class on thursday came into the salon with two black. She's been right proper beaten up by her boyfriend. That sucks enough but as it happens she actualy lives with the guy (she's 16) cos her parents through her out and she's decided to stay with him despite whats happened. How fucked is that?

Beating by boyfriend...
-
That's pretty bad.. do you know how old her boyfriend is? Why did her parents throw her out?
-
I dont know how old her boyfriend, could be any age really. Her parents kicked her out a while back actualy and then she ended up with her grandparents who then also kicked her out. I dont know the reasons but I can imagine. Dont know what can be done though.
-
well if her b/f is abusing her, cant something like this be reported especially since she is under 18?
-
Not sure how it works in the UK but can you not make an annonymous call to the police and report the incident? Whether this girl is a good girl or not it sounds like she's in a bad situation that can turn even more ugly if she doesn't get out.
-
Yeah you can do anonymous phonecalls over here.. that would be a good idea. She's in a bad situation there, and she needs help!
-
The Police cant do much unless this girl goes to them about it unless they catch him in the act, even then she'll have to make a statement for which the police gather evidence and put forward to the CPS (Criminal Prosecution Service) to make a decision on weather it should goto court.

Before taking any action just make sure that she was in fact beaten up. Although two black eyes looks like someone has obviously beaten you, she may have got them another way. Say, being struck square between the eyes with a cricket ball... not that I'm talking from personal experience or anything... OK fine I am!

She may stay with him because she has nowhere else to go. If he gets charged she'll have to leave, but can she afford to?
